“My favorite singers in the world have been black singers, and you can ...” — Johnny Van Zant Quote

My favorite singers in the world have been black singers, and you can go to any church and hear the best singers in the world - and I'm a singer, and I love singing!

On our Web site, we have people complaining about us not playing new stuff. But there's so many classic Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, you can't go out and just do a bunch of new things.

Everybody in Lynyrd Skynyrd loves different styles of music, and our minds are very open when it comes to writing our songs and making the band true to what the band is, but also stepping out and doing something current.

I don't think you can erase history.

We have taken a giant step forward in correcting some of the misconceptions people have about the church. I think that we've made a lot of friends.

I have a much wider, freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own, personally. You know, let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul, or their God, or with their church.

There's good things about going to church.

My eyes are wide open to the conflicts within the Church, but I don't think you can call it schism.

When I was younger, I won a radio at a church raffle.
