My advice is: if you've got to be miserable to write great music, then drive a truck.
I'm a natural ham. It doesn't bother me to perform.
I put music on and I drive around town.
I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.
If you listen to old Jerry Lee Lewis records, he'll always - about nine times out of 10 have the lyrics different than the original record is.
There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.
