I ain't got much education, but I got some sense.

Do the best you can with yourself and hope for the best.

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

When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.

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

I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.

When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
