The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.

Marijuana is like sex. If I don't do it every day, I get a headache. I think marijuana should be recognized for what it is, as a medicine, an herb that grows in the ground. If you need it, use it.

When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.

A lot of country music is sad.

You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody.
