Come on boys, you must listen unto me, lay off the whiskey and let that cocaine be.

The more I learn, the more excited I get.

Convicts are the best audience I ever played for.

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

The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.

There is a spiritual side to me that goes real deep, but I confess right up front that I'm the biggest sinner of them all.

I'm not really concerned about boundaries. I just follow my conscience and my heart. Follow your heart. That's what I do. Compassion is something I have a lot of, because I've been through a lot of pain in my life. Anybody who has suffered a lot of pain has a lot of compassion.
