I have made that one of my policies never to play anything that I've already put on record.

I've always been salaried; I've never owned anything. I've done very well, lived very well.

I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.

I've made my music so that it could be about anything and everybody - whether it's a guy, a female or a goat - and everybody can relate to that.

The great musicians are those who can reach people, who can make people feel something.

Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.
