I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.

I'm very proud of all the bluegrass-oriented albums. It just reminded me and my fans that I should always record acoustic music and country records, along with anything else that I might want to do.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I have been asked to pose for Penthouse on my hundredth birthday. Everybody is going to be sorry.

I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.

If we all climb together, we could climb the highest hill.

I write for myself things that I've gone through.
