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

We're all about trying to play better every night, not just singing hit songs ... we ad lib, and every night there's jamming .. it's almost like the Grateful Dead meets Buck Owens some nights, because we'll go off on little adventures and sometimes we do crash the bus!.

When every memory has been made and the pages start to fade. And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound. When you think the ride is over, you're back at the beginning. Love is never-ending.

Jackass millionaires, hey, hey, Hollywood, here we come.

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

Playing live is about going for it .. it's about bringing it ... you should see a bunch of people trying out stuff, actually performing, instead of learning the record and recreating it note for note. I can't play the show the same way every night .. I really need to be in a creative environment, every night or I'll go nuts ... my manager accuses me of singing just long enough to get me to my next guitar solo - which is true.

Someday I'm gonna be famous. Do I have talent, well, no. These days you really don't need it.
