More quotes by 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
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
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
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
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
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
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
Alan Jackson
He's written some great songs. I thought that Blues Man was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
Alan Jackson
I'm usually just enjoying life.
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'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
You just write about things that happen.
Alan Jackson
Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
Alan Jackson
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
Alan Jackson
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
Alan Jackson
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
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
Flesh is weak, but love is strong.
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
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
