I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.

I don't do nothing I don't want to do.

I want to play music when I want, write a song if I want or watch a baseball game if I want.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

Ron Thompson, he's my main man!

It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .

My style is all to myself.
