I believe in freedom of religion and freedom of choice and everybody do what they want to do. I don't wish to bring my beliefs onto other people.

Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Most people won't do that because it makes them vulnerable.

I never went to college. I went to the school of hard knocks and paid for my education by getting ripped off. It's been a great adventure, and I've outlived my adversaries.

I'm a conversationalist. I came out of a town with only 300 people. I didn't have anybody to talk to. I didn't want to talk about farming. So when I came out in the world, I started talking. Never stopped.

I know a lot of great musicians that don't know they're even great, because mangers try and make them feel belittled like they're not worth a crap.
