More quotes by Alan Jackson
I've been a lot of places, and my wife, Denise, she likes a lot of the fancy restaurants. I'm more of a basic eater. I still go into Cracker Barrel. Those are the kind of people who like the kind of music I'm making.
Alan Jackson
You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. That's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it's played such a part in country music.
Alan Jackson
I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.
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.
Alan Jackson
Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
Alan Jackson
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.
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
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us but the greatest is love
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
Flesh is weak, but love is strong.
Alan Jackson
I've always stood up for country music.
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
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
I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.
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
Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
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.
Alan Jackson
I'm usually just enjoying life.
Alan Jackson
It's a scary word, 'cancer.'
Alan Jackson
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
