Everybody knows in the business how I feel about country music. I'm an old traditionalist. Then they just call me an old man and stuck in my old ways, but with all the fans I've got out there, I can't be all that wrong. I do love traditional country music. I love the good stuff.

Before then, Britain was pessimistic and the role of government was largely managing Britain in decline.

All Patsy Cline had to do was sing somebody else’s song and her version would outsell theirs because it would be so good!

There's bad in everything. I dislike people misusing something that I love so much. It goes beyond the money. It goes beyond all of that and the glory. I love what I've done and I just can't stand to see what they're doing to it. But I've learned to live with it because that's what they've done. They've come in with the modern sounds. I call it modern pop. It's not country anymore.

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you. Don't let the 'business' change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.

You can shut out the world. But you always have to stop, and the world is always waiting when you do.

I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking, the whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again.
