I've Always Stood Up For Country Music.

I Like To Write Sad Songs. They're Much Easier To Write And You Get A Lot More Emotion Into Them. But People Don't Want To Hear Them As Much. And Radio Definitely Doesn't; They Want That Positive, Uptempo Thing.

I've Always Said That If You Have Songs On The Radio And Get Played, You've Got To Have A Tour To Support That.

If You Just Do 50 To 60 Shows A Year, It's Not That Much Time Away From Home.

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.

There's No Hall Of Fame For That Working Class Hero, No Statue Carved Out Of Stone. And His Greatest Reward Is The Love Of A Woman And His Children.
