I think the music business is changing. Artists that don't want to tour and just want to collect royalty checks and stay home are not going to be able to do that.

I don't care what's happening in the mainstream of country music. I haven't in a long time.

I'm one of the few people that I know that sings better than they did 20 years ago.

Gregory Corso used to get really pissed when people called Bob Dylan a 'poet.' After writing poetry for a few years, I can understand that.

Greg Trooper writes great songs, including one of my very favorite songs in the world, Little Sister. On top of all that, there's his voice - an instrument I have coveted for 15 years.

I have a theory that the people who cook in jails are British chefs.

Or you can be like the Soviet Union, start out with ideals, and end up ceasing to exist.
