“You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presenc…” — Kid Rock

I've always had a love of country music.

I make a lot of money. I can take a pay cut. All my friends are taking pay cuts that are in the unions, that are - that are farming in Alabama or whatever it is. I can surely take a pay cut, too, not cutting down my show or - or the people that work for me, I can take a pay cut.

I don't tell 'U.S. Weekly' which parties I'm going to. I write songs.

If you had told me when I was starting out that I would be coming down to Nashville, kind of weaving in and out of the country scene, I never would've thought that in a million years.
