Do something bad a thousand times and it's no big deal. Everyone just goes, "Willie f - up again."

I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that's about all that's required.

I just enjoy both working and not working.

Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues.

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

The life I love is making music with my friends.

If you’re not crazy there’s something wrong with you. Willie Nelson
