I got scars on my face that tell some kind of story. I'm looking in the mirror, and I got one scar that's really two scars - half from a baseball bat and half from playing football in college. I'll tell you, though, after a while, your face gets so wrinkled up you can hardly see them.
Every one of us is sort of a figment of our own imaginations.
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 don't have the voice of a Ray Charles or a George Jones or any of those artists I loved.
I know that some critics will say it's predictable, and it's a cliche, and it's sappy, but listen - it works. I've been to two screenings where people have been crying and spontaneously applauding. That says something.

I have a feeling it's kind of like working with a horse that's too big for you to control yourself, too strong,
Roy Orbison was one of the genuinely nicest persons I've ever known. With one of the most beautiful voices in the history of recorded music he could easily have had an opera star's ego, but he was one of the humblest, kindest, sweetest human beings to grace this planet. This in spite of the enormous tragedies in his life. A brave, beautiful blessing of a man.
Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.
