I announced last year that I won't be touring again. But CBS has given me the opportunity to take my music to the people in a new way, to have the fun of performing live, and to do it in such a way that I don't have to be away from home for long periods of time. It's going to be fun.
Nashville, there's people that are ten times more talented than me, ten times better singer than me, song writer than me, but for some reason you get the ball, and now - and now you run with it. And you do the best you can.
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.
It's funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and people call it entertainment!
People loving people. That's the enemy of everything that's evil
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
I remember in the '80s, Randy Travis was my guy. He's the reason I moved to Nashville, and I just loved him. But at some point when he was winning everything, you find yourself pulling for other people.
People aren't always themselves. They're always holding back something.
My biggest problem with the retirement thing was I'd be leaving the part of this business that I enjoy the most... the entertaining part, being on stage and seeing how the music affects people.
I believe in the 'Wal-Mart' school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.
I understand that music is a business, but for people who have control of their stuff, like little Taylor and other artists, I think you'll find them standing up for their music every chance they get.

It was the perfect Christmas gift to each other. We could not be happier.
