There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about; like, on the title track, there's this film-noir character of a woman who's sort of losing it in a room.

I feel like sometimes, when I'm singing a song like 'Moment of Forever,' that it goes both to your significant other and to the audience, and was it wonderful for you, you know? I think the best love songs I've written work on that level, like 'Help Me Make It Through the Night.'

If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song.

Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing that's lasting.

I think of a song in terms of lyrics and stories, and that's what keeps it country for me.

I've had this song in a drawer for a long time, maybe seven or eight years. Every time I'd do an album, I'd take it out and listen to it, and always liked what it had to say. Plus when Garth came in and sang on it, that made it really special.

A song can take you to a special time in your life.

A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life.

I mean a song that's specifically for the girls. It's saying you know we talk about them night and day, we're constantly pondering on men and what they've done good and what they've done bad and all these things in our lives.

If my life were a song, what would it be? 'A Never Ending Road of Musical Good Times'.
