But, I'm a big Johnny Cash and a big Lou Reed fan and a Fellini fan.

I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.

I'm a product of my surroundings. I grew up on Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed, and also Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, and Biz Markie.

I ended up being friends with all my heroes. Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, Johnny Cash - it was incredible.

For 'The Lobster Kings,' I listened to a lot of Johnny Cash. And it makes its way into the book.

God's the final judge for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash too. That's solely in the hands of God.
