As long as I'm still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don't see that it would be worth retiring.

More quotes by Alan Jackson
I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles.
Alan Jackson
I've always stood up for country music.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
You just write about things that happen.
Alan Jackson
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
Alan Jackson
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
Alan Jackson
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
Alan Jackson
I'm usually just enjoying life.
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
Alan Jackson
You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. That's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it's played such a part in country music.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
Alan Jackson
There's no hall of fame for that working class hero, no statue carved out of stone. And his greatest reward is the love of a woman and his children.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
