I enjoy my life very much.
I am a sports fanatic and being able to perform at halftime for the fans of the Steelers and the Jets is such a thrill for me.
Everything that’s cool that happens, I look at my wife and I say, ‘We need to enjoy this moment right here! This is really special!’
My message to kids who bully other kids is: You know it’s wrong! What’s really going on? Try not to make somebody else’s life miserable because you are.
I recorded the song ‘Believers’ because I feel the song has a strong and much needed message. We all need encouragement and something to believe in.
It’s important to show solidarity for a child, no matter what. It’s important for a child to be raised in a situation where she sees love, solidarity, commitment and honor.
You know, I’d like to sit here and blame everybody else for my trouble. I just can’t do that. I can’t find it in myself to do it.
I think the Lord gives us everything we can handle, nothing more.
I enjoy every minute, because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you’re going to wish you held onto longer.
You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.
You have to believe that things can be bigger than what you see in front of you in order to move forward.
I’ve learned to never underestimate the impossible.
There’s been a lot of really cool stuff that’s happened to me throughout my career, and I remember everything, but I don’t think I savored every moment of it like I should have or like I do now.
In my mind, as long as I did what was right for me, I was cool. But that’s not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.
The overall physical demand that Iraq has is pretty amazing. It’s 130 degrees, and the soldiers are carrying about 100 pounds of extra gear. It’s a pretty rigorous schedule and routine for them.
I need to find a church on Sunday. I need to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ ‘yes sir’ and ‘no ma’am.’ Do the little things because that’s part of being an adult.
The Dalai Lama’s entire being is about peace and harmony, forgiveness and self-discipline. Those are qualities to be admired. I am really looking forward to meeting His Holiness.
It’s always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.
It doesn’t really matter to me what the rest of country is doing. I’m not caught up in trying to make a record that sounds like everybody else. That, to me, is a record label’s absolute biggest downfall.
I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas – that’s my favorite of all!
The way that I am now, I don’t want to accept mediocrity. I don’t want to accept the easy road.
