I'm Usually Just Enjoying Life.

You Have To Be Tough-skinned And Willing To Accept Criticism, And At The Same Time, Just Try To Do Music That You Like And You Are Proud Of And Not Just Whatever You Think It's Going To Take To Get You On The Radio.

The Music Business Doesn't Take Up That Much Of My Time. I Probably Should Put A Little More Energy Into It.

I Like To Write Sad Songs. They're Much Easier To Write And You Get A Lot More Emotion Into Them. But People Don't Want To Hear Them As Much. And Radio Definitely Doesn't; They Want That Positive, Uptempo Thing.

Did You Stand There In Shock At The Sight Of That Black Smoke Risin' Against That Blue Sky? Did You Shout Out In Anger, In Fear Of Your Neighbor Or Did You Just Sit Down And Cry?..

A Country Song Is A Song About Life.
