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.

If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.

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.

I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles.

If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.

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.

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.

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.

Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.

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.

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Alan Jackson

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
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.

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.
