Really, I don't know what I'd do with myself if I retire. Wash dishes?

When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.

I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due.

No matter what you do, it can't be perfect. I told Jack White, 'If I'd 'a sung that song more'n twice, it might of sounded better.' He said, 'Well, it might not of. You might have took the spark out of it.' I don't know if he has a point or not. We'll find out.

I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.

It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, "hey, goodbye!" and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.

Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.
