 I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from. |
| Going out hanging out with the troops, and you know it's kind of all summed up in the TV show, I don't what else I can say about it. It's a great thing to do, something I'm definitely proud of. |
| And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world. |
| I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow. |
| On a scale of the United States, the Hollywood influence on what comes out, that's not the majority views of across the country. What we read in Us Weekly or People magazine, or Entertainment Tonight, it's not what the majority of the country is thinking. |
| It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order. |
| But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining! |
| If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But... if it's real, you'll feel it. |
| They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing. |
| I never said I wanted to be around for a long time. I always said I wanted to be here for a good time. |
| I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star. |
| My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues. |
| I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is. |
| I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop. |
| Europeans don't seem to have the groupie mentality. |
| I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns. |
| Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen. |
