If I see something sagging, dragging and bagging, I’ll get it nip, tucked, sucked or plucked.

I'm not a politician. And I don't want to be.

In the early days, Porter Wagoner would not exactly scold me, but he's say, 'You're writing too many damn verses. You're makin' these songs too damn long.' And I'd say, 'Yeah, but I'm tellin' a story. I have a story to tell.' And he'd say, 'Well, you're not going to get it on the radio.' If I start writing a song, I'm writing it for a reason. People would say that I had to have two verses, and a chorus, and a bridge. I tried to learn that formula.

You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.
