I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.

Brother, if you want to get the lowdown, Come along and let's all have a hoedown.

I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.

Im Sorry was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.

The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.

I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.
