“I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have someth...” — Alan Jackson Quote

I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.

When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.

My mother kept asking me, 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.

I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.

There's things that I couldn't joke about but other people could.

I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.

I've got the Xbox 360, a Wii, and a PlayStation 3. I got everything you could think of.

One thing I could tell you is that I'm all over the place.

Don't worry about what other people say, you could be doing what they're doing or even better than them.
