It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I'm just trying to improve myself and go forward in my career and you get brick walls built up all over the place.

It feels a lot different defending a title than trying to take one. St. Joe swam great. I knew a couple kids on their team were going to swim like hell. They did. They really brought a lot of kids along this season, kids we'd never heard of.

I've had a great career up until now, and I'm trying to kind of take the reigns. Unfortunately, I've seen so many actors who reach a certain prominence, and then they do a couple of films that don't get accepted by the public or are critically panned and the next thing you know, they're out the door.

[The two share some similarities. Like Cash, Lynne has spent her career trying to escape being pigeonholed by record companies.] I hope they don't try, ... I like to keep it all mixed up a bit.

I believe he's just trying to plan his career.

This is huge for a guy like me that's trying to get my career off the ground - to be able to open for Brooks & Dunn - the duo of the millennium - is just an absolute honor.
