I've always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.

When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. If he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, he is looking for wisdom. But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he's looking for another man.

Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I'll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you're not on time.

I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
