There's two times of year for me: Football season, and waiting for football season.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with country until I ride off in the sunset.
We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.
Every time I have a song that does well, that's a great feeling to have.
I'm lucky my wife is a strong woman. She's one of the stronger people I've ever met. It's hard for me to be away, but I know my home life is fine because my wife is there.
I love making music, and I love touring. I love that I get to wake up and play music. I don't like being away from my wife and kids.
There's nothing like sitting and watching the Masters on TV.
For me, '52nd Street' is quintessential Billy Joel. I bought that record as a kid and listened to it so much.
I love Christmas. I love the music... I love everything about Christmas. I'm a big fan.
I grew up in South Carolina. A lot of what I remember back in the day is AM radio. When I was a kid, you could hear Stevie Wonder and Buck Owens on the same station. All the walls and lines between music were taken down for me.
Everybody wants to have a good time, especially at a concert. That's why everybody goes.
It's hokey, but I love sitting in an inner tube and taking it easy on a lazy river ride. I can sit there all day.
I always say, no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music, I can handle it if Charley Pride could handle all the stuff he went through.
As a kid, I was big into Al Green, Gladys Knight and the Pips, but as I got older, I started listening to all sorts of music, including country.
Hearing Radney Foster was big for me, like hearing Al Green or R.E.M. for the first time.
Ray Charles has always been a big part of my life.
Ric Flair was such a huge part of my childhood and teen years. He's an icon.
We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going.
I love Hootie & the Blowfish and what we do, but that's not my main focus anymore.
Everything that I do on stage comes from seeing the Black Crowes in '95 in Charlotte. For 'Let Her Cry,' I was just trying to write 'She Talks to Angels.'
