I have no regrets. I feel very grateful for the life that I had - you know, family I live with; and I've been doing work that I love, ever since I came to Nashville.
I never was one to go into an office and write. For one thing, I had a job. I was cleaning the ashtrays and setting up the studios at Columbia for a couple of years and working every other week down in the Gulf of Mexico flying helicopters. I didn't really get to just write songs for about five years.
Working with Dakota's not exactly like working with a kid. She's a remarkable actor. ... Bette Davis was probably like that when she was a little girl, and I think she'll amaze us for years.
Acting is still fun. Talking about it is not.
I'm not worried about Dakota at all, ... She has a real family, a real loving family. That probably has a lot to do with who she is now. That's probably why she's so grounded.
I certainly didn't think our last tour was gonna be the last,
I don't write as much as I did back when I was writing songs every day, ... But when current events and world situations get in your brain, that's the way I sort it out.
Johnny Cash's face belongs on Mount Rushmore...I don't write as much as I did back when I was writing songs every day. I've come to know when I've got a good one, although sometimes it takes the world awhile to catch up with me...If you're in it because you love it and you have to do it, that's the right reason. If you're in it because you want to get rich or famous, don't do it.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert
The heart is what matters most of all
I'll probably be writing as long as I'm breathing.
... Johnny Cashs' face belongs on Mount Rushmore ...
Well I work up Sunday morning, With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes, And found my cleanest dirty shirt. An' I shaved my face and combed my hair, An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
Just remember that William Blake wasn't even published in his lifetime. Ya gotta keep creating.
