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

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

The tastes of country music fans are not limited to the narrow range defined by consultants and programmers and record company moguls.

I don't care what the religion is called; as far as I'm concerned, one God, the God I adhere to, is in charge of all of them.

Singing as a full-time job was not something I had given a lot of thought to and I had no clear notion of the money to be made in it.

Chet Atkins... is probably the best guitar player who ever lived.

I think there's enough room in country music for everybody.
