You should work at everything you do and try to perfect it as best you can.

There's just enough drinking and cheating songs around without me adding to them. Unless you've got something better than "Misery and Gin" by Merle Haggard, you're beating a dead horse.

I'll work to maintain my work ethic out on the road, playing my shows, giving 110%, keeping God first, my family second, and treating my fans like royalty.

Family is fun, way more fun than music.

I couldn't write a song to save my life. I wouldn't say that I started to panic, but I was definitely getting frustrated. I couldn't even cross a t or dot an i.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I still have a lot of passion for music, but I would quit it tomorrow if that's what my family needed me to do. I'm sure I'd miss it, but it's a job.

I'd like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

I think most performers are just lazy.

Once I made up my mind that music was what I wanted to do, I never looked back.

Shine your inner light.

A right delayed is a right denied.

The thought of a happiness that comes from outside the person, brings him sadness. But the recognition in the value of one's will and the freedom granted by its uplifting, brings great joy.

I actually write some pretty tough jokes. I don't want to push the "soft" angle too much.

There are only two roads, victory for the working class, freedom, or victory for the fascists which means tyranny. Both combatants know what's in store for the loser.

Vice goes along way towards making life bearable. A little vice now and then is relished by the best of men.

I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.

Who is the architect? I am the architect.

I believe myself capable of great things.
