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

Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind

I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.

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 have more dumb luck thank anybody I know. There must be a convey of guardian angels working twenty-four hours a day looking after me[...] Like the night I first got to Nashville that I laid down in the middle of Broadway, waiting to get run over. It didn't happen [...] I could swear they were keeping me alive just to see what I'd get next, I'm glad they feel that way. I'm trying to help them a little more this days.

I am not a pig farmer. The pigs had a great time, but I didn't make any money.

You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say.
