“I'm a take-me-as-l-am person, and all the rest is water under the bridge. You can't change yesterday any more than you can predict what's gonna happen tomorrow.”

“Honesty I can take. Lies I get upset about.”

“We lived on the farm, and our mode of transportation was wagon and team. No electricity. I'm the seventh son of 12 kids - eight boys and four girls. Mom and Dad handled that very well. But I wanted to get out.”

“I spent some time in Hell.”

“I've been singing and playing the guitar ever since I can remember.”

“Daddy - I remember when he first let me drive the cultivator for him, you know... He eased you into the hard work that you had to do later.”

“I've been through a lot of changes.”

“I was out of control... I was a mess, but God has forgiven me.”

“I'm running my life according to what I know to be true from the Bible and the old scribes.”

“I learned it was crucial to play right on the edge of the beat... It makes you drive the song more. You're ahead of the beat, but you're not.”

“I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.”

“I've been every way there is to be.”

“I have been blessed. I really have.”

“It's easier being with somebody who's got some sense.”

“I don't remember not singing. I started when I was, I don't know how - what, two years old or a year old or something like that.”

“I can't be alone.”

“I've often asked myself, how much information can the brain actually hold? There'll probably come a day when you're able to download it; that's what you have to do when the machine's full.”

“I just wanted to do a music show, with the whole realm of music from Ella Fitzgerald to rock bands like Cream to Kenny Rogers. We had a lot of country, but we did every kind of music. The Monkees were on, and so was Johnny Cash.”

“I'm an avid golfer.”

“If I get a song - a good song - I just sing it the way I hear it in my head. If anybody else wanted to add whistles and bells and chains rattling, that's fine. Just not too much. I actually just do things as straight ahead as possible.”
