Alan Jackson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Alan Jackson:

I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.

He's written some great songs. I thought that 'Blues Man' was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.

What I enjoy doing more than anything is, I have my little antique car collection, and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country, down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing, not much traffic.

'After 17' is a song I wrote when my first daughter went to college, so that's kind of where I'm at in that part of my life. If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you'd say, 'Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter,' but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn't apply to anybody that has a child.

Alan Jackson

I'm usually just enjoying life.

Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age, because there wasn't any live music around my town and no one in my family played instruments.

Alan Jackson

I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.

Alan Jackson

I really was a fan of his and always have been - his writing especially, you know? I think people a lot of times overlook that part, because he kind of got into that party character so heavy.

Alan Jackson

For some reason I've been labeled that and it's fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don't know why they picked me. That's what I've always done.

Alan Jackson

I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.

Alan Jackson

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.

Alan Jackson

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.

Alan Jackson

It's a scary word, 'cancer.'

Alan Jackson

My mother kept asking me, 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

You just write about things that happen.

Alan Jackson

I mean, I am driven and laid-back at the same time.

Alan Jackson

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

Alan Jackson

I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.

Alan Jackson

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.

Alan Jackson

A country song is a song about life.

Alan Jackson

I mean, my girls are very sweet; I'm very proud of all of of them.

Alan Jackson

I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.

Alan Jackson

Oklahoma's always been good to me.

Alan Jackson

I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
