I have three daughters, so I cant be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids – especially daughters – they know how to work you. Theyre a lot smarter than we are, thats for sure. But Ill be more tough on their boyfriends. – Tim McGraw
I feel like that Im learning all the time. Im learning from new artists, from established artists… every time I listen to 70s rock n roll records, Im learning. And I think that Im just now starting to get a hold on what I do. – Tim McGraw
Im a private guy, and you dont want to be out there preaching to people. But faith leads you in the decisions you make. You dont always pick the right path, but its there in your conscience. – Tim McGraw
You know not having my real dad around and having a step dad made me want to be a great dad. So now I have been one for 9 years. And now 3 daughters. So, that is what I am – a dad, first and foremost, before anything else. Its just something that comes natural now. – Tim McGraw
Im actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music. – Tim McGraw
I think you have to be a little bit strict. You cant be friend and their parent in a lot of situations, especially in this day and age where its so dangerous for kids. So theres a bit of sternness, I guess, in the way I raise my kids. – Tim McGraw
But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen. – Tim McGraw
The issues that matter to me are the social safety nets for people, health care, middle-class concerns. We need to take care of the middle class and the poor in our country. – Tim McGraw
When I was a kid, my step dad started this business and would go out and get lost cows and stuff. He was part-time truck driver, farmer and cowboy. He taught me how to ride from an early age. – Tim McGraw
