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.

I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wembley way is beginning to blacked with people in terms of red and blue

After 17 is a song I wrote when my first daughter went to college, so that's kind of where I'm at in that part of my life. If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you'd say, Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter, but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn't apply to anybody that has a child.

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.

Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us but the greatest is love

He's written some great songs. I thought that Blues Man was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.

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.

To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.

The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.

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