More quotes by Alan Jackson

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.

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

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
It's a scary word, 'cancer.'
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
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've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
Alan Jackson
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.
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
Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
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
When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.
Alan Jackson
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
