I often get myself in love trouble because I'm so passionate; I love so much and so deep.
When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.
I just try to be true to myself and look the way that I'm comfortable looking. Because if I'm comfortable with me, then you're going to be comfortable with me as well.
You don't need to buy expensive cosmetics; almost anything will do if you know how to apply it.
One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.
My best country record only sold 200,000 copies. I didn't have enough money for the band and the arrangements and the costumes and all. I had to move into wider fields.
We're all God's children.
I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
I always had a very open mind and a very open heart. I always look for the good in everybody and the God in everybody. I play to that. And I just love people. I love the difference in people. I love getting to know people. I appreciate getting accepted myself, because I know I'm unusual. And I love the unusual in other people.
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
I'm very proud of all the bluegrass-oriented albums. It just reminded me and my fans that I should always record acoustic music and country records, along with anything else that I might want to do.
I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.
Smile, it enhances your face value.
If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging I'll get it nipped, tucked or sucked.
