"I love to fish offshore for billfish, and have fished all over for them from the Bahamas, St. Thomas..." — George Strait

I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.

I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.

You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever... I'm not worried about it.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records. And I wanted everything that went along with it.
