Baseball got into my blood early and I worked harder at it than anything.

I always wanted to grow up fast. I longed for more than the Mississippi Delta could give.

I grew up not liking my father very much. I never saw him cry. But he must have. Everybody cries.

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.

Fans are what make a performer and I've always taken them seriously.

I learned to tune a guitar by ear. That method has served me pretty well.

A woman went so far as to hire private detectives to contact me to help bring her out of what she called a hypnotic trance.
