There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.

I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

The whole house came up and I came up with it... I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.

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

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

Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.
