I Don't Like Politics, Hypocrites, Folks With

I've Had Several Working-man Songs That I Like.

You Have To Be Tough-skinned And Willing To Accept Criticism, And At The Same Time, Just Try To Do Music That You Like And You Are Proud Of And Not Just Whatever You Think It's Going To Take To Get You On The Radio.

To Me, Songwriting Is The Backbone Of Nashville. Looks Can Go, Fads Can Go, But A Good Song Lasts Forever.

I Don't Write All My Stuff. Everybody Always Thinks That. But In Just About Every Album I've Ever Had Has Been About 50-50 Songs I've Written Or Co-written And Other People's Songs.

If You Can Last Until You're 40 Years Old, Hopefully You'll Be Mature Enough To Figure Out The Rest Of The Years.
