You Just Write About Things

When I Was In High School, I Don't Know That I Really Had Big Dreams.

If You Just Do 50 To 60 Shows A Year, It's Not That Much Time Away From Home.

I Could Have Done A Hundred Songs, Really. It Was Hard To Narrow Them Down, Because I Tried To Pick Songs For The Most Part That Actually Did Have Some Effect On Me Or Influenced Me In The Past.

If Anything Good Came Out Of 9/11, To Me, Was That People Were So Cynical About The World - All You Hear About On The News Is All The Bad Stuff Everyday, But What Was Refreshing To Me Was After That, You Saw How Many Good People There Are Out There. For Every One Bad One, There's A Thousand Good Ones.

You Think About People Like Hank Williams, Who Stood On That Spot Of Wood, And Mr. Acuff, And, Of Course, George Jones. And Just About Anybody You Can Think Of Who Has Made Country Music Has Been On That Stage. That's What Makes You So Nervous - To Think About The Historical Part Of The Opry And How It's Played Such A Part In Country Music.
