If Frank Sinatra Is Singing, Maybe Everything

I Grew Up, I Was Going I Want To Be Jerry Lee Lewis. Only I Can't Play Piano And Sing That Good.

There Was A Misconception About Me When I Started Off Because I Had My Hair Greased Up And I Have Some Vague Resemblance To The Hillbilly Gene Pool That Elvis Came From. People Would Say, 'you Want To Be Elvis' And I Would Say, 'no'.

I've Been Gone On The Road For The Past Three Years; Maybe I've Been Home For Two Or Three Weeks In A Year. I Literally Live - It's Like One Of Those Old Movies Where They Show A Train, And Pages Of A Calendar Are Peeling Away Like Leaves, And Then There's A Picture Of Me With Gray Hair.

Glen Campbell Told Me, 'stay Out Of The Way Of A Good Song.' I Think It's True. If A Song's Good, Don't Overdo It.

I Remember Listening To The Radio As A Kid And Finding That The Songs Always Made Me Feel More Peaceful. Funny, But The More Hurtin' The Music Was, The Better It Made Me Feel. I Think Of That Now When I Write My Songs. I May Not Be Feelin' The Blues Myself, But I'm Writing Them For Other People Who Have A Hard Life.
