We'll all be equal under the grass, and God's got a heaven for country trash.

I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain.

I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.

When I think about country music, I think about America.

Sam Phillips asked me to go write a love song, or maybe a bitter weeper. So I wrote a song called, "Cry Cry Cry," went back in and recorded that for the other side of the record.

I got really excited about it. But then we went into the studio and tried to record some with different musicians, and it didn't sound good. It didn't work. So we put together the album [Unchained] with just a guitar and myself.

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.
