I'm looking around at them and they've heard Dad's music all the time and I don't see that out of them.

I don't fly any awards at the house. Any award you get is usually for something you've done in the past. And I like to keep looking forward.

We treat the lyrics like the woman any man wants to impress the most. We give the lyrics all the attention we can. I'm not sure other formats are remembering that the lyrics are what it's all about.

I hear them saying, "You'll never change things, and no matter what you do it's still the same thing." But it's not the world that I am changing. I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.

The human spirit: Unbreakable. Relentless. Free.

Noah took much ridicule building his great arc, but after 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart.

Dreams can come true with God's great angels like you.

She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice, a little crazy, but it's nice. And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone, cause she'll rage like a river then she'll beg you to forgive her.

The crazy thing about it is she'd take him back, but the fool in him that walked out is the fool who just won't ask.

You were standin' way too close to see it fall apart. And there were things you couldn't hear, 'cause you were listening with your heart.

Learning to live again without you is killing me.

Someday in heaven, when the angels all sing, well, these rags that I'm wearing will be fit for a king.

How you ever gonna know if you're the best? How you ever gonna know what you believe in, if you don't put it to the test?

If you're gonna leave your mark, you can't follow a bunch of sheep, you gotta listen to your heart.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, sometimes you've got to go against the grain.

When the skies and the oceans are clean again. Then we shall be free.

Listen not to the critics who put their own dreams on the shelf.

Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men, Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen.

It's midnight Cinderella, but don't worry none. Cause I'm Peter the Pumpkin Eater and the party's just begun.

Bury the hatchet, but leave the handle sticking out.

Failure isn't failure if a lesson from it's learned. I guess love would not be love without a risk of being burned.

It'll never go away until the fear you are running from is finally embraced.

I asked if I could read for the role of Kevin Costner's caddy in Tin Cup. It was a fun learning experience, even though Cheech Marin got the part.

There's a moment that we all come to, in our own time, in our own space, where all that we've done, we can undo, if our heart's in the right place.

I could've missed the pain, but I would've missed the dance.

My biggest problem with the retirement thing was I'd be leaving the part of this business that I enjoy the most... the entertaining part, being on stage and seeing how the music affects people.

As long as one heart still holds on, then hope is never really gone

I feel my job as an artist is to drive people to country radio. That's my job as a country artist. So these streaming places, especially these on-demand streaming places, where you can just push a button and hear it as many times as you want, like YouTube, any of that stuff, that's taking all the ears away from country radio.

I understand that music is a business, but for people who have control of their stuff, like little Taylor and other artists, I think you'll find them standing up for their music every chance they get.

That old star that you been wishin' on is shining mighty bright, but it's the fire inside your heart that's gonna lead you to the light.

A mistake isn't a mistake if you learn a lesson from it.

Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the skies.

Just keep taking chances and having fun.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs; that just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Don't let the world decide who you are. You decide who you are.

I've never stayed awake at night over a chance I took that failed, but I've stayed awake over chances I didn't take.

I believe in the Wal-Mart school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.

You know me. I'm going to try my best to get in everybody's living room.

And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
