This movie thing is creative. It's the most creative thing I've done in years.
Go for a walk, say a little prayer and take a deep breath of mountain air,
James made every record ... that established my career.
My wife got upset, but I usually take those things, when people say stuff about me like that, and turn them into gold. So when the person who said that goes to her Wal-Mart and she's looking for a garden hose and looks over and sees the album, she'll know what a great idea it was to call me white trash with money.
I ain't as good as I once was, But I'm as good once as I ever was.
Somebody said they seen her heading out of town, now she ran away with a rodeo clown.
That's more along what the story is, as opposed to me being onstage singing.
Everybody should have their own thing, and if he don't want to be a role model, that should be up to him. In the right situations, I can try to help and be a role model, but I'm still gonna speak my mind, and if that affects the role-model deal, then too bad.
Through the years, a lot of it is just being around some great people like my dad and his friends who come up with those things. I've just claimed them after I've heard them.
I always vote for the guy I think can get it done. And it ain't nobody's business who I vote for, but I voted for Clinton twice. And that just blows people's minds when they hear that.
It's like pulling teeth to get me to do photo shoots. And I don't mind doing interviews if they're by phone, but I hate to go sit down and have to meet somebody somewhere, you know what I mean.
We turned what is virtually a glorified independent label into one of the powerhouse labels in the town.
I'm influenced by all kinds of music. I have a very diverse iPod. You never know if I've got it on shuffle. You never know what you are going to hear next. I like all genres.
