Different people have their ways of measuring success, maybe it's not the right way but wrong's what I do best.

A new artist today has to get their teeth fixed, has to tighten their jeans up, and they have to get 'em the right kind of hat, and if anything's wrong with their nose, if it's a little crooked, it's got to be straightened up.

I've had a lot of practice and wrong's what I do best.

If people liked your singing well enough, if you were special to them, then you never left their minds throughout all of the years.

After the first couple of years recording I did a lot of praying. I said, 'Lord, please give me a hit.' I want one so bad.

Anybody who loves country music loves gospel. Even they are competing with the same type of problem that I'm competing with. We older artists are competing with the new style of country, with their new modern style of gospel, with the young people.

I'd rather sing a sad song than eat.
