My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.

I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.

The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.

I got in at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2.

In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.

But if you think of all the people who don't like me, just think of all the millions who've never heard of me!
