Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life.

I've had a couple of guys that I've had co-produce records with me through my career, and it's fun to work with a co-producer.

I mean, I could tell that I really had... a precious gift. And I'm so glad that I have followed through with it and really used that gift and nurtured it, honed it, made it sharp and tried to use it as a tool now to make music and to make a living for my family.

I hate negative songs; I won't sing them. It doesn't matter if it's sold 2 million more albums.

I just want to keep playing music and keep recording. I feel like my best days are ahead.

The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from.

Great music is great music, period.

I've always moved by my heart. I've moved by the spirit of what I feel was right for me next. I always pray and ask God: 'What's the next thing? What am I supposed to do next?'

We should give the Lord the excellence He deserves in everything we do.

I try to keep my heart and myself available for those little, 'God moments,' are what I call them, where someone calls the office and says, 'Would Ricky be interested in doing this?'
