If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones.
Waylon Jennings
I'm old and crazy, but I still give a damn. And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
Waylon Jennings
I didn't aim at anything except good music.
Waylon Jennings
One thing is that I wasn't getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to “have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn't want us to be the ones.
