There's no hall of fame for that working class hero, no statue carved out of stone. And his greatest reward is the love of a woman and his children.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

You think a lot of people get...

You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

The music business doesn't ta...

The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

As long as I'm still able to ...

As long as I'm still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don't see that it would be worth retiring.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

My mother kept asking me, 'Wh...

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.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

I could have done a hundred s...

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.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song... somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

If anything good came out of ...

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.

Oklahoma's always been good to me.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

I didn't realize until I was ...

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 40 quotes

I grew up with nothing, so wh...

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.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

If you can last until you're ...

If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

If you just do 50 to 60 shows...

If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

You have to be tough-skinned ...

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 40 quotes

Did you weep for the children...

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones and pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble, and sob for the ones left below?

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

You think about people like H...

You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. That's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it's played such a part in country music.

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

Did you stand there in shock ...

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor or did you just sit down and cry?..

Alan Jackson 40 quotes

"After 17" is a song I wrote ...

"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.

I think if you retire from touring, then people think you are retired.

Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
