There's Such A Thing As Too Much

What I've Got To Live Up To, Is Being Myself. If I Do That, The Rest Will Take Care Of Itself.

Music To Me Is Just Like Breathing. I Have To Have It. It's Part Of Me.

The Words To Country Songs Are Very Earthy Like The Blues. They're Not As Dressed Up And The People Are Very Honest And Say, 'look, I Miss You Darlin', So I Went Out And Got Drunk In This Bar.' That's The Way You Say It. Where In Tin Pan Alley They Would Say, 'oh I Missed You Darling, So I Went To This Restaurant And I Sat Down And Had A Dinner For One.' That's Cleaned Up Now, You See? But Country And Blues Tells It Like It Is.

Rhythm And Blues Used To Be Called Race Music. ... This Music Was Going On For Years, But Nobody Paid Any Attention To It.

Do It Right Or Don't Do It At All. That Comes From My Mom. If There's Something I Want To Do, I'm One Of Those People That Won't Be Satisfied Until I Get It Done. If I'm Trying To Sing Something And I Can't Get It, I'm Going To Keep At It Until I Get Where I Want It.
