I had so much fun playing songs from 'Based On A True Story...' and getting to see the crowd's reaction to those songs was unforgettable.
I'm not a summertime guy. The only time I really enjoy the summer is touring and performing because there is nothing else for me to do at home. It's too hot, and you can't farm. You can't hunt.
I love getting the pontoon boat out, and I don't get to do it as much anymore. If I know in two weeks or a month from now I've got three days off, I can start planning for that stuff, getting out there with friends and family and relaxing, just floating around and hanging out.
We were playing a fair, and a few people were handing me stuffed animals and flowers, but one person handed me a paper sack. So I took all the stuff back to the bus. I put the sack in my lap and opened it, and a live iguana jumped out of the sack and onto my shirt. I screamed like a little girl!
The Grand Ole Opry is an artist, and I am proud to be one of its songs.
No, I don't think I'm ever going to get serious.
If you're in the public eye, people are going to take shots at you.
I'm not too big on cats, and sometimes I'll say something like that, and people get so mad at me. But the truth is, I don't care if they get mad.
I'd love to have a big old hug with Richard Simmons.
I think the worst thing you can do is blend in. Why would you ever want to blend in?
I stand by the stuff I say, even the really stupid stuff. I'll find a way to justify it.
I always wished I had a song like that George Strait song, 'The Chair', 'cause it's basically just a guy trying to pick up a girl at a bar.
Every day, somebody has a song they want you to hear, and you're stupid if you don't listen to it because you never know what you may find.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
