Music keeps you eternally young. It just does.
I'm very square and proud of it. The flag stays on the porch here.
I feel very lucky to get to fly the flag of RCA Records and Sony Music.
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
I go home, and I'm a blob. I just lay there and don't do anything - lay by the pool with the other husbands while the wives work. It's fantastic. It's really good. That's kind of our life at home.
I was lucky enough to go home and raise our babies.
Doing new stuff live is tough just simply because I pay my money, I stand in my seats, and I see the guys I love. And if I paid that ticket, there's a good chance that I'm there to hear the stuff that made me fall in love with 'em - we call it the 'old stuff.'
I just love to see people having a good time.
One of the greatest gifts we have is our own mistakes and somebody singing about them.
I still use the guitar pretty much just to hide my gut.
If the artists would just keep hammering away - unify, stick together - then music will become the king again, which is what it should be.
My hardest thing was to let go, to be happy for everybody and just to enjoy. And go back to being what you were before you became an artist, and that was just a fan.
Why I got into music was James Taylor, so to see him be a real down-to-earth guy that's unbelievably talented... then to hear him sing those lyrics of 'What I'm Thankful For,' which is a song Ms. Yearwood and I got to write together, that was definitely a highlight of my recording life.
I introduce her as the love of my life everywhere that we go. She introduces me as her current husband. So you can see how the relationship kinda works here.
I got an offer in 1992 to buy a major-league team. I turned down the offer because I don't want my love of the game to involve business.
I wrote 'The River' practically trying to rip off every lick that James Taylor had, so it was neat to hear him sing those lyrics because that's who inspired you to write them.
Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!
When I went to see Kansas and Queen and Styx, I don't even remember the music. But I know what I saw.
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith.
Here's my whole marketing idea: treat people the way you want to be treated.
