I like people who are loyal to me, and I like to be loyal, too.

I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.

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.

I spend most of hunting season at the ranch. We all love to hunt whitetails, and we have a pretty good supply in South Texas. I also love to hunt elk in Arizona, mule deer in Utah, and I've been to Canada to hunt caribou.

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'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.
