We didn't grow up rich people.

Don't sign your publishing away.

Hank Junior fans are Skynyrd fans.

Rich people know how to party, too.

I don't think you can erase history.

Skynyrd just hasn't gotten its just due.

To me, making a CD is like writing a book.

We have doctors and lawyers and CEOs as fans.

Who knows what the heck the future will bring.

I think it's just that Skynyrd songs are timeless.

We're musicians; we're not politicians or anything.

The last thing we want to do is disappoint the fans.

That's your end goal anyway, is to make the fans happy.

I think, hey, everybody has a right to change their mind.

You don't go to some other country and bash our president.

Skynyrd is a big family. We have argued, fussed, and fought.

If rock & roll is dead and gone, man, I am missing out on it.

Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.

I want to be there for the last note of 'Freebird' when that happens.

John 5 - he's weird. He's a freak. I'm just kidding. He's a great guy.

In my opinion, the only people who should have handguns are the police.

If nothing else, we grew up loving the old blues artists and Ray Charles.

Every redneck's dream is to write a song and have it go on a fishing show.

If people can't relate to something, there's no use of the song being there.

I actually quit the business. I went and drove a truck for a year and a half.

I didn't know if Skynyrd fans were going to throw rocks at me or eggs or what.

'Free Bird' is timeless, 'Sweet Home' is timeless. They're just timeless songs.

It's all these young country bucks doing Skynyrd songs, which is pretty cool to us.

I'd rather sit in Jacksonville and do a different kind of work than get messed over.

Some people would do anything just to get a break; that's where the bad guys get you.

If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.

We always pay tribute to what the old Lynyrd Skynyrd has done - I'm very proud of that.

Look at Montgomery Gentry. If those boys came out in the '70s, they'd be Southern rock.

As Christians, it's our duty to stand up for what we believe - that's called testifying.

Look at Gretchen Wilson. If she came out in the '70s she'd be the queen of Southern rock.

We've done shows with Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr., Montgomery Gentry, Shooter Jennings.

We've got to take some drastic steps in this country. We can't keep spending and spending.

I'm a Republican myself, though I think there are actually some Democrats in Lynyrd Skynyrd.

A lot of groups get dirty deals. They work hard and have to get a job after their career is over.

My dad was a truck driver, and from the time I was knee high to a grapevine, I was driving a truck.

I'm a lover of old traditional country - George Jones, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, Marty Roberts.

The fans have always been there for us, and they've realized when we were going through a hard time.

Rock & roll has kept us alive for all these years. But we just love country music. It's in our blood.

I always try to relate a song to something what is going on, the working man, the times, how life goes.

When you're dealing with a big amount of money, you should have your own accountant and your own lawyer.

There's nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.

Most of our fans are the hardworking people of the world. They are the people who have made this country great.

They're great songs. How many bands wouldn't like to have a 'Freebird' or 'Sweet Home Alabama' to play every night?

It's for the common people, people who have made this great country of ours. That's what the heck I say we always write about.

I've never met a person who doesn't like music, and we may vary in what styles we like, but everybody likes some form of music.
