Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.

So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.

I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

You'll probably get three horses and you have to draw a good buckin' horse. That's mighty tough.

When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.

When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
