My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.

I'd love to work more with the American Indians, my people.

Growing up in eastern Kentucky like I did, I'm used to having a few guns around to protect me.

I've seen country music go uptown, like we say, and I'm proud I was there when it happened.

I don't go to church regular. But I pray for answers to my problems.

How do you measure your value?
