Mistakes don't scare me or bother me. If I feel like I made the same mistake twice, then I feel like I've really screwed up. But if I make one mistake and learn from it, hey, to me in the game of life it's just as important to know what doesn't work as what does. So I think mistakes are a good thing.
Passion is what convinced armies that had no chance to win - it's believing that something can happen. Reality is what you make it to be. And when you're the only one who can see the way the future is going to be, you can be the tool that bends, rips, shapes and paints the future the way you want it to be. That's true passion!
Somebody that comes and dumps a brand-new album on me and doesn't play the old stuff, I'm pissed!
I'm not sure how we exist, as an artist, without country radio.
I think in between where you are and where you want to be is a sea of reasons why you can't get there.
Getting older doesn't help you in the fact that you might have covered some of this ground before. So you're listening to a song that you know is a hit, but it just can't be a hit for you, it's gonna be a hit for somebody else. That's tough.
Singles are your safest songs on the records. Ones that piss fewer people off, that appeal more to the masses.
A fan's love for an artist is so deep, I know I will go whatever depths it takes to learn about people that I'm in love with.
Retail should never ever tell the copyright owner how their stuff is sold.
It would have been fun to have played Tim Robbins' role in Bull Durham.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
I spend all my time right now trying to combat music retail and copyright.
If God came down here with the box that had the reason for living in it, I'd like to find just 2 words: The Music. That would be neat.
Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin.
