I'm from the Mississippi delta originally.

I did learn that it was the greatest thing in the world to respect yourself. Respect other people.

And I tell my audience, you know, give the real stars a round of applause. Because without them I'm nobody. So I learned so much from people like that.

I was never into the Bluegrass, Bill Monroe and stuff like that.

We could play them through the week, and then the weekend we could play the black joints. I learned to be very versatile and learned to love it. So it stays with me even up to now.

And one of my favorites was Eddy Arnold of course. He just had that smooth, soulful voice.

If I don't love you, baby, grits ain't groceries.

I was born in a little place called Inverness, MS.

My mom moved up between Leland and Greenville when I was just a little tot.

Communication happens on the periphery between two minds while communion melts two beings into one! What are YOU?

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.

Without delayed gratification, there is no endurance.

'Stay with it' was our coach's motto. That's what we did. This is unreal!

The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

Texas is dicktown. No basement in the alamo. I didnt capitalize that on purpose.

I'm not like the Brexiteers. I don't deny that we have to permit immigration and the right of establishment for capital and services.

Office politics are bloody-minded, but weak on content.

I've been having an affair, but I still believe in family values.

... as long as we go on loving and working life is worth while.
