Look at what happens when people get up on podiums and talk about politics.

I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment. I can't think about anybody outside of country music that's even attempted to do an anthem-type song that's reflective of what's going on.

I was freaked out about it, ... I felt guilty; I felt really moved that people cared about me that much, but I'm still kind of paralyzed because I can't do it the way I want to do it, and I opted not to talk to anybody because I thought it might [mess] up my chances of getting things to go right.

When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.

How can you go wrong with two people in love? If a good boy loves a good girl, good. If a good boy loves another good boy, good. And if a good girl loves the goodness in good boys and good girls, then all you have is more goodness, and goodness has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
