I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail.

I'm not a goody-two-shoes. I'm just a father with four children.

I hope you came out to hear some bluegrass music. If you didn't, we're both in the wrong place.

There's art in rhythm playing. Just find it. Make your own art. Find your place, and when it's your time to solo, it's your time to shine.

Music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.

The reason I always insisted on signing my work was not to be subordinate to anyone.

It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.
