Hank Williams Jr.

“Listen, ladies and gentlemen. America is still a country of choices and options. And I have a lot of them.”

“The bottom line is, between Sonny Osborne and Earl Scruggs, I better know how to play banjo. I had the greatest teachers in the world.”

“You've got to want to put out good music. You've got to give the people their money's worth.”

“I like metal detecting, collecting Civil War artifacts, fishing, hunting, cigars, Labradors, the outdoor life, my baseball game, football.”

“But I can say that the business has changed drastically since I started at 8 years old. Everything from the way you tour to how you make a record and how you release the music.”

“Many people don't realize that June Carter Cash was my godmother. She and mother were very tight.”

“I love this country and I am very vocal about my thoughts and beliefs. America is the greatest nation on the planet!”

“I have got the most loyal, hardcore fans that there are. I could do 10 shows, a hundred shows or 30. I am the most blessed guy on the block. They're gonna be there, and it amazes me.”

“I love what Eric Church is doing. He and I are friends, and he opened some shows for us a few years ago and I would fly him home on the jet. He is a good one.”

“When Mother put me out on stage at eight years old, everyone wanted me to be just like Daddy.”

“You know, I don't sit here and watch, uh, I don't watch CMT videos and listen to country radio all the time.”

“I just play the music that I'm gonna play and don't really worry about how people perceive it.”

“I am and always have been a football guy. My relationship with 'Monday Night Football' lasted 21 years, which is unprecedented for any theme song to be on the air that long.”

“You better mean what you're singing or you need to get out of this business. That's where I'm really lucky because they know I mean what I'm singing or I ain't gonna sing it.”

“I always ask any of the artists that open up if they know 'Family Tradition', since that's my last song in the set, and if they do, I normally ask them to come on out and take a verse and have fun. When that song is done, I am gone.”

“I only do about 25 shows a year and I do not really do tours.”

“Most all of my awards are at the Country Music Hall of Fame. You know we had the longest running exhibit in the Hall of Fame history with Family Tradition. More people went to see Daddy's stuff and all the things I have collected over the years than any other exhibit.”

“Listen, I am who I am. I have always been true to who I am and that is why the fans support me.”

“Music lives in cycles. One day, one type of music is on top and the next year another genre is on top. Either the fans love you or they jump from one artist to another.”

“I guarantee you there's a bunch of the twentysomethings that don't know that, don't know I play banjo and bluegrass.”
