God saved me.

I'm an avid golfer.

I worked my butt off.

I don't hold grudges.

I go to a great church.

A good song is a good song.

I am a lineman for the county.

Dean Martin. He was incredible.

I love singing. I just love it.

Life is too short not to enjoy it.

I play guitar, and it's not a prop.

Some things I don't want to remember.

Elvis was a great singer. He really was.

I love symphonies. I love string sections.

Honesty I can take. Lies I get upset about.

I saw my first indoor bathroom when I was 9.

The more you play music, the better you'll get.

To play with a symphony today is just fabulous.

I have been very blessed with some great songs.

There's no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.

Actually, I believe in the institution of marriage.

I don't really classify 'Wichita Lineman' as country.

It's easier being with somebody who's got some sense.

Picking a guitar was a lot easier than picking cotton.

I gave John Wayne the push he needed to get that Oscar.

God's law is God's law, period. Teach your children that.

I like to start the day early, it keeps me out of trouble.

Frankly, it is very hard to remember things from the 1970s.

I can read a chord chart, but I couldn't read a note chart.

If we grew it, we ate it. If Daddy shot it, Mamma cooked it.

The very first big one I had was 'Turn Around and Look At Me.'

I was out of control... I was a mess, but God has forgiven me.

I've laughed, and I've cried. Laughing has got it over crying.

Hank Williams' music - it just doesn't go away, for some reason.

Success is not getting what you want, it's enjoying what you have.

I've been singing and playing the guitar ever since I can remember.

All I ever wanted to do was play the guitar; singing was a sideline.

We moved to Los Angeles because our daughter wanted to go to Pepperdine.

When we cut 'Strangers In The Night,' we did the whole song in two takes.

I'd have to pick cotton for a year to make what I'd make in a week in L.A.

There's a longing in country music that can soften even the rockiest heart.

I'm from so far back in the sticks that they had to pump the light in there.

With a lot of songs, songs that don't make a good statement, I forget the words.

Music is music. It doesn't matter if I am trying to aim at country or trying to aim at pop.

I'm running my life according to what I know to be true from the Bible and the old scribes.

You don't mess with politics and religion. Leave it alone. People get upset at that sometimes.

I felt my music wasn't aiming at anybody. Everything I was doing was because it was a good song.

I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.

I like to play golf. You know, make a little money, lose a little money. Get 10 bucks, lose 20 bucks.

I guess I'm like Roger Miller who used to say that he didn't have as many jokes as he thought he did.
