You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.

The almighty dollar and the lust for world wide fame, slowly killed tradition, and for that someone should hang.

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete. And as long as there is breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.

I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music.

I need someone like me.
