I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.

Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.

Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, my baby left without warning.

When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.

When I left Nashville I went to Texas because that's where I came from, and because I was playing in Texas a lot in different places. And I saw hippies and rednecks drinking beer together and smoking dope together and having a good time together and I knew it was possible to get all groups of people together - long hair, short hair, no hair - and music would bring them together.

When I'm driving the highway by myself is when I write best.
