Willie Nelson, out there 200 days a year, calls his band family. And it is.

I have a to-do list and I have a farm I care for, and things I like to do for fun - going to movies and all that stuff. It's a painfully normal life!

In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.

I love any and all situations where you celebrate creativity.

If you're really on top, you probably didn't do that great, 'cause you have to water it down a bit for it to get that mass appeal

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. She looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. She's, "I want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." She's a, "I can't find a thing to wear." Now and then she's moody. She's a Saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. She's a warm conversation I wouldn't miss for nothing. She's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.
