[my Mother] Called [my Voice] The Gift.

When I Think About Country Music, I Think About America.

All Music Comes From God.

Deep In The Heart Of The Infinite Darkness, A Tiny Blue Marble Is Spinning Through Space. Born In The Splendor Of God's Holy Vision, And Sliding Away Like A Tear Down His Face.

We [with Rick Rubin] Would Focus On The Ones That We Did Like, That Felt Right And Sounded Right. And If I Didn't Like The Performance On That Song, I Would Keep Trying It And Do Take After Take Until It Felt Comfortable With Me And Felt That It Was Coming Out Of Me And My Guitar And My Voice As One, That It Was Right For My Soul.

Understand Your Man, Meditate On It.
