Lust may be in the heart, though it be not seen by others; as guests may be in the house, though they look not out at the windows.

I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession. If you can, then it ain't music, it's close order drill, or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.

You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.

I don't think I'm singing. I feel like I'm playing a horn...What comes out is what I feel.

They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.

I never sing a song the same way twice.
