I wish sometimes that the gods would either choose better, or make their wishes clearer
I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
I've been a lot of places, and my wife, Denise, she likes a lot of the fancy restaurants. I'm more of a basic eater. I still go into Cracker Barrel. Those are the kind of people who like the kind of music I'm making.
Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song. . . somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.
The desire to succeed has a lot less compulsion than the fear of failure.
Sometimes you can do Shakespeare and you're still not an actor.
Some eschew wine for their religion; others just don't cotton to it. A slew of Americans consider wine a fancy-schmancy treat for special occasions. They do not understand the concept of daily wine. It's as though you insisted on confetti and a swing-band at every meal.
Dreams, ideas, and plans not only are an escape, they give me purpose, a reason to hang on.
