I have people talking about, "Boy, I hate to go to work." I love to go to work!

There's a lathered sorrel stallion running through the Joshua trees and a young man in the saddle with his coat tails in the breeze. He's got a six gun on his right hip and a rifle at his knees and he's dealing in a game that he can't win.

My wife is my best friend, by far my best friend.

I don't want to be without God's blessings.

I can't imagine not having a reason to get out of bed at night.

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did.

I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.
