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

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 live out of cans a lot. But I try to indulge only in healthy canned food.

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

The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That's what I do.

However you arrive at the ability to ignore self-doubt - if you can acquire it or possess it or find it or discover it - move beyond self-doubt.

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.
