"I love to sing. I love to sing to God. I love to sing to people. And when I'm singing, I'm happy."

"I've been known to throw a few punches in my day. But I've also been known to take a few punches. And I've always gotten back up."

"I don't mind if you call me a country singer. I'm proud of that. But I'm more than a country singer."

"I've been through a lot of ups and downs in my life. But I've always come back to the music."

"I'm not a rebel. I'm just a man who doesn't like to be told what to do."
