The road had the lonely times, but I kept myself busy.

If you want me in the Hall of Fame put me in because of some contributions that I have made to country music.

The biggest fool to hit the big time and all I've got to do is act naturally.

I'm from the Bob Wills and the Little Richard school of music. Bob Wills did what the hell he thought, Little Richard did what he thought, and those were my big influences.

You get up about 2-3 oclock in the morning and get through about 7 or 8 and 12 hours later you start all over. Thats the worst kind of work a person can do. You have to do these two shifts to get one day.

I'm in an absolute frenzy towards doing as many things as I can that I want to do today. The rest can wait till tomorrow, next week, if I'm around we'll take a look.

I've got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line.
