When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.

I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you keep skunks of all kinds at a distance if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.

Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.

(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.

As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them.

The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.

I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.

I am not a pig farmer. The pigs had a great time, but I didn't make any money.

In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.

In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain. As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.

I don't think any person has any special knowledge about what God has planned for me and you any more than me and you do.
