I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this 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.

Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age, because there wasn't any live music around my town and no one in my family played instruments.

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

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor or did you just sit down and cry?..

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.

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.

Oklahoma's always been good to me.

I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

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.

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.

When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.
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

I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.

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

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.

I've always stood up for country music.
