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.

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.

None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.

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.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.
