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.

Somebody said they seen her heading out of town, now she ran away with a rodeo clown.

My mom taught us the Serenity Prayer at a young age.
