I've got no deep voice today. I've got a cold. But when I was young, I had a high tenor voice.

People ask me who is my favorite country artist. I say, you mean besides George Jones.

I love to go to the studio and stay there 10 or 12 hours a day. I love it. What is it? I don't know. It's life.

In the Air Force, I had an old Wilcox Gay recorder, and I used to hear guitar runs on that recorder going (vocalizing) like the chords on "I Walk The Line." And I always wanted to write a love song using that theme, that tune.

It was kind of a prodding myself to play I Walk The Line straight.

My mother always told me that any talent is a gift of God and I always believed it. If I quit, I would just live in front of the television and get fat and die pretty soon.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.
