Quote

I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs......When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.

If you go to a magic show, you don't want to see logic.

At 82, Nelson (who wrote the song On the Road Again, among a thousand or more others) is the elder statesman of country music, a steadying and powerful voice in the industry and on environmental issues, and he's still on the road much of the year. The music keeps calling.

Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.

A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.

I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.

I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that's about all that's required.

The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.

I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.

When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.

(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.

If I started drinking again, there would be a lot of people bringing me pot because I can't handle alcohol. I just am not a good drinker. I get a little alcohol in me and I start trying to change the world, and that's not good. A lot of people are the same way. So that's why I don't drink anymore.

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.

There are more serious problems in life than financial ones, and I’ve had a lot of those. I’ve been broke before, and will be again.

I think the best exercise that I do is singing for an hour-and-a-half out on the stage, because, yes, I use the lung, the biggest muscle in your body.

Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to food animals would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
