Fortunately, we are not in control.

I use vaporizers a lot. It cuts down on the heat and the smoke. And for a singer that's not a bad idea.

I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.

When I was growing up, Nashville was the place to go if you had songs to sell and thought you had talent and wanted to tour and be on Grand Ole Opry [radio show]. It was the big deal back in those days to play the Grand Ole Opry. And you could travel around the world saying, "Hi, I'm Willie from the Grand Ole Opry".

Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.

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

Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
