I think I've had the slowest, most methodical career in the business.

Glen Campbell told me, 'Stay out of the way of a good song.' I think it's true. If a song's good, don't overdo it.

I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.

I think everybody in my generation, we wanted to be Elvis.

Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.

I did all my guitar playing at my house. And then finally, I was throwing hay and stuff working in Stockton and somebody offered - somehow they had heard me singing at the house and said: Hey, I'll hire you for our fraternity party or sorority party. And I said: Well, are they going to pay me? And he said: Yeah, we'll pay you 50 bucks.

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.
