Don't take voice lessons. Do it your way.

Life is - the way God has given it to me was just a platter - a golden platter of life laid out there for me. It's been beautiful.

I did [picking cotton] from - until I was 18 years old, that is. Then I picked the guitar, and I've been picking it since.

Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.

I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.

I took the easy way, and to an extent I regret that. Still, though, the way we did it was honest. We played it and sang it the way we felt it, and there's a lot to be said for that.

God's the final judge for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash too. That's solely in the hands of God.
