I had a list of rules I made up one time. It says: Tell the truth, sing with passion, work with laughter, and love with heart. Those are good to start with, anyway.
I feel so lucky to have lived the life that I did and to be surrounded by the people I love. I've got eight kids, and they're always laughing all the time. It's like music to my ears.

That's the kind of song that usually gets me in trouble in the show.
I think he was awed by the realization of a dream, ... I was so awe-struck, myself.
I don't have the voice of a Ray Charles or a George Jones or any of those artists I loved.
I have a feeling it's kind of like working with a horse that's too big for you to control yourself, too strong,
