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

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.

Creative people have to be fed from the divine source. I have to get fed. I had to get filled up in order to pour out.

I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
