The pop-star thing bores me because it's somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don't say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there - you're not even a human being. You're a puppet.

If you look at the charts every year, there may be five or ten memorable songs from each year.

I'm a much healthier eater and I've lost quite a bit of weight over the years.

I used to think I was a singer; I had my own delusions about it.

The public always picks quality.

You can never go more than three or four hours without having something to nibble on or eat - you have to graze all day long.

I'm still true to my Southern roots.
