On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

He's a mean, mean man, but I love him all I can.

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.
