I'm in this business because I despise honest labor.
I didn't choose a word or anything. I just wrote the song until it stopped.
I only drank for three years of my life, but I drank enough in those three years to last me the rest of my life... It's a religious thing.
I have so much fun on stage that I should have to pay to get in.
Talent is being able to please people.
I'm not a real good musician, but I can write [a song] pretty well. I experiment once in a while to see what I can do. I find out the best I can do is stay with ballads.
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl...
If halfway love is all you want or all you care to give, why bother with love at all and only halfway live.
The great songs just come out. If it comes quick, just leave it that way.
Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not.
