I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me.

And I've never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.

In country music the lyric is important and the melodies get a little more complex all the time, and you hear marvelous new singers who are interested in writing and interpreting a lyric and in all form of popular music.

Bing Crosby sings like all people think they sing in the shower.

I'd like people to remember that I really tried everything within my range of reality. And that whatever I did, I did with all my heart.

Trouble is a part of life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

It's the most humbling sport ever. It's like a lousy lover. It's like some guy who's never there when you need him. Every once in a while, he comes and makes you feel like heaven on earth.. And then the moment you say, 'I really need this,' he's gone.
