All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.

You can bet there's something fishy going on. I guess some large mouth bass left that lipstick on our shirt.

A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.

I never want anything more than what's fair. The problem is, I never want anything less either. In the old-boy school of business, if a woman walks away from the table with what's rightfully hers, the man feels screwed.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.
