Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.

I could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.

If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones.

I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel.

I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.

Country music isn't a guitar, it isn't a banjo, it isn't a melody, it isn't a lyric. It's a feeling.

The villains have turned into heroes. The heroes have turned into heals.
