Control success before it controls you.

My guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on.

I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on my ear the son of God discloses. And he walks with me, and he talks with me. And he tells me I am his own, and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.

Music's the one thing I try not to analyze. I don't want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me.

It's meant to reaffirm the validity of that music - clean, minimalist, honest, classic music.

I think actors are at the mercy of the opportunities presented to them. So you kind of have to wait for them to choose you. My music is insular - I can choose that.

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