Days go by like a hand out the window in the wind!
I think we just got upstaged. Everything pales in comparison.
I wrote it and God said 'Well, I'm gonna' hang on to them and when you're going through this I'll give it back to you.' And that's exactly what happened.
I think it just means that country is a global phenomenon.
It can get a little costly if you try and leave it until then to write songs. But you're writing all the time. You're collecting songs. I've had songs that have been collected over a two-year period for my next record.
He has a master understanding of holding a crowd and taking them places: high, low and everywhere in between, ... He knows how long he can hold them before they go over the edge, and then he brings them back. It was just astounding. It's amazing to think somebody could be that compelling and captivating for that long.
I remember one night crawling around on my hands and knees, looking for these little rocks at 5 in the morning. It was the worst.
Everybody needs somebody sometimes.
If it's a real dream it's uncrushable.
It's something I've always loved doing. I'm not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I'm there every second of every day. That's my hands-on situation.
My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.
I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.
I tend to write better when I'm not touring.
