I hope that books don't go the way of albums and CD, large format albums, and physical product.

No compression or as little as possible - that's how you get a good recording.

Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

I am probably the last of a generation able to gain an education in country music by osmosis, by sitting in a '64 Ford banging the buttons on the radio.

I can't escape being born in Pike County, Kentucky, grandson of a miner, Luther Tibbs, and his wife, Earlene, and traveling as a child up and down Route 23 between Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio, where I was raised, experiencing life via working-class people. Nor do I want to escape.

I don't really drink, but I've been around a lot of drinking and, at 18, when you start playing in bars, you start to witness the good, the bad and the ugly of alcohol as a source of escape. I wrote about it because I witnessed its use as a means of medicating - a lot of people using it to medicate themselves from hurt.
