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

Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.

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

My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

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.
