song writing thinking
I don't write all my stuff. Everybody always thinks that. But in just about every album I've ever had has been about 50-50 songs I've written or co-written and other people's songs.
thinking trying criticism
You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it's going to take to get you on the radio.
stars crazy thinking
You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.
mean thinking voice
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
thinking trying fans
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
song thinking mixtures
I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.
thinking people touring
I think if you retire from touring then people think you are retired.
thinking albums done
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
country thinking people
You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. 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.
thinking important needs
The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.
song men working-man
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
littles energy should
The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
oklahoma
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
home years time-away
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
