You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever... I'm not worried about it.

I've been fortunate.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records.

I’m always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.

I’m glad He had the never while staring into space, to give this universe a time and place.

Of all the songs I’ve recorded, ‘Amarillo By Morning’ always sticks out in my mind.

I didn’t want to be 40 or 50 years old and still playing clubs, I didn’t feel like I was making any progress, and I actually gave the band notice at one point. I began to have doubts about my abilities.

Even though I’ve been doing it for so long, I still feel fresh. Even when I walk out on stage, I still feel pretty much the same as I’ve always felt.

I’ve been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.

I’ve always liked Frank Sinata and Big Band music.
