These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.

I've led a very eclectic life.

People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.

I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.
