What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?

Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer any more. Not the whiskey drinking Indian, nor the Marine that went to war.

I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.

Life and love go on, let the music play.

Could it be the girls and boys are trying to be heard above your noise?

Sam Phillips responded most to a song of mine called, "Hey Porter," which was on the first record.

We [with Rick Rubin] would focus on the ones that we did like, that felt right and sounded right. And if I didn't like the performance on that song, I would keep trying it and do take after take until it felt comfortable with me and felt that it was coming out of me and my guitar and my voice as one, that it was right for my soul.
