The idea of growing up in the South and being a man is an interesting thing; there's a lot masculinity involved, with hunting, fishing, and playing sports that rural people take pride in, but at the same time, I grew up really not wanting to hate anybody.

It occurred to me the thing that broke my heart the most was when I grew up and realized everything wasn't an adventure. I got to a certain age and realized I couldn't be Indiana Jones.

I don't remember a lot of the good times from my days with the Truckers.

I don't think I'd be happy if I were satisfied. I enjoy challenge, and I wouldn't say that I'm an ambitious person career-wise or financially, really. I would like to travel more comfortably, but that's really about all I need.

A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids, being there for the husband, being home, trying to do it all.

Kids need to open up to their parents. And parents should realize that when kids are pushing you away, that's the time to really step in.

I surround myself with incredible, capable people, and the beautiful part about the artists I've chosen to work with, and the artists that have chosen to work with me, is that we share the same family values.

That's what my life has come down to - how can I have fun for me, be with my friends and my family, and how can I help other people.
