More quotes by Alan Jackson
You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.
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
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night. Though it's wrong all along, it keeps going on as long as they keep it out of sight.
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
Flesh is weak, but love is strong.
Alan Jackson
A country song is a song about life.
Alan Jackson
The fan base that I've had all these years has come along. Some of them are not as plugged into the digital world, so they want to go out and buy the CD at Walmart or something.
Alan Jackson
I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
Alan Jackson
I don't write all my stuff. Everybody always thinks that. But in just about every album I've ever had has been about 50-50 songs I've written or co-written and other people's songs.
Alan Jackson
You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it's going to take to get you on the radio.
Alan Jackson
I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.
Alan Jackson
When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
It's a scary word, 'cancer.'
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.
Alan Jackson
What I enjoy doing more than anything is, I have my little antique car collection, and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country, down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing, not much traffic.
Alan Jackson
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us but the greatest is love
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
