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.

If you have the courage and you have the heart, that hero just might be you.

There's always one more way to do something-- your way.

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 never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.

I ain't got no reverse. I've learned, a little later in life, it works out pretty good to have one every once in a while.

Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
