More quotes by 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 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
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
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
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones and pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble, and sob for the ones left below?
Alan Jackson
I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles.
Alan Jackson
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.
Alan Jackson
Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
Alan Jackson
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
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
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
The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
Alan Jackson
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't they want that positive, uptempo thing.
Alan Jackson
You just write about things that happen.
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
Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.
Alan Jackson
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
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
