He's got to be there. He belongs there as much as anybody else. He's done as much as any of us to progress country music and let it be heard around the world and give it the respect it deserves.
This song's been in the closet for 20 years.
I'd like to see this happen time and time again, thousands of times across the country.
I have a lot of respect for the military. I like to show them that I support them every chance I get. ... We get as much out of it as (the soldiers).
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down -- but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
Mainly because I'd already been paid on it . . . and paid pretty good.
I think it's true, we have to watch what we're doing.

I always thought Hank Williams was a great person to listen to, ... because his messages were simple, to the point, usually just three chords but they hit you right in the bone.
When we did the first one, I really thought that one would be all that would be necessary. Everybody would say 'Oh yeah, the farmers are getting screwed here, let's fix that,'
