I only drank for three years of my life, but I drank enough in those three years to last me the rest of my life... It's a religious thing.

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

I'm not a real good musician, but I can write [a song] pretty well. I experiment once in a while to see what I can do. I find out the best I can do is stay with ballads.

If halfway love is all you want or all you care to give, why bother with love at all and only halfway live.

Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not.

The great songs just come out. If it comes quick, just leave it that way.
