I'm not a bourgeois person, never will be.

Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.

See, I don't like places where people can't dance - don't like clubs or theatres where a bunch of bourgeois people sit around tip, tip, tipping their fingers.

To me, country music is like the blues, but it's something very hip and - I don't want to say commercial - but it's very worldly and good listening.

I'm not a bourgeois person, never will be.

Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the '50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together.I would hear him sing every night.

The only time that I am really truly happy—when I feel at my best—is when I'm on the stage.
