I'm in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they're great musicians and people. But I'm most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids.
I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.
Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.
What perfect timing. I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should thank him.
Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.
The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.
I can't disagree with that. I've been pretty reflective lately of how blessed I am, how fortunate I am to be still doing it.
No, but we put a rider in our contract that there has to be Pabst Blue Ribbon in our dressing rooms, just because we thought it would be funny.
I know Huntington and people like the kid mayor and Don (Maynard) the police man. I know Don and his wife and kids, and he was promoting our shows when we were nothing. And there's people like that in so many towns that have been so good to you.
I only got two beers left. 'You can have one.' How nice is that?
He's the idiot because it's out. I'm holding him responsible.
I am an avid hunter and marksman, and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives.
I get Canadian porno - that's the extent of satellite service and Internet in my house.
If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But...if it's real, you'll feel it
