On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.

I hate categories. Hank Williams is a great artist, period. Bob Dylan is a great artist, so is Marty Robbins. They just classify these people and put them in categories so they can sell the thing easier.

I guess a good song is a good song is a good song, ya know.

I'm a big Marty Robbins fan. I love Marty Robbins. Of course, everybody does. That's not such a big shock.

I mean, you could have said Elvis Presley was new wave when it happened. I heard Willy DeVille and Tom Petty and to me they were new wave really because they were new.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

Not to this extent but from day one I had an awful lot of confidence when I got started.
