Back then, we didn't know we were poor, and people were more proud then.
You can't be halfway in this business. If you don't meet the fans, you lose all you've got.
Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.
Really, I don't know what I'd do with myself if I retire. Wash dishes?
Some of my friends who know me best say they wouldn't trade places with me for $1 million because of the pace I lead.
How do you measure your value?
I loved being outside. We'd hold lightning bugs in our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.
