“The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions.”
“Where I'm fortunate and why I think I've thrived and survived, through the not having albums out every year-and-a-half, is not taking the songs lightly and trying to make sure I've got consistency.”
“I've never really focused on if I had good habits when I sang or if I had bad habits, or if I was breathing correctly. So, I started doing vocal exercises and would stretch out before I sang, stuff to help my breathing. It's funny, you breathe your whole life then you find out you're not doing it correctly.”
“I started out singing covers. I've sung a lot of 'em and love a lot of 'em.”
“If I spent the rest of my life getting even with the people that had helped me out, I would never settle the score.”
“I am spiritual. I believe God loves and is pulling for all of us.”
“I grew up playing music and enjoying good food, friends and family in my own backyard.”
“With videos, I find I'm better off if I'm playing a role inside of it. The more you do it, the more you understand it.”

Your car breaks down in the middle of Iowa or somewhere, or Tennessee where I'm from, people want to help each other. Given each opportunity, you see how people come together.”
“The way I heard about The American Giving Awards was from the people that I work with. My publicist and I had a conversation a while back about wanting to really get involved more and more. We've been working with the National Council for Adoption with the children's home that I was adopted from called Holston Home.”
