We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout.

Our lives are entwined with the people over the footlights. We are a part of them.

Every dog has it's day, unless he loses his tail, then he has a weakend.

I'm just trying to matter.

Inside that book, it's my life-all the places where I'm hurting or I laughed or I cried or I prayed. And I've had to pray a lot!

I chose to be Mrs. Johnny Cash in my life. I decided I'd allow him to be Moses and I'd be Moses' brother Aaron, picking his arms up and padding along behind him.

For the last 20 months, I've just been going from one hospital to another.

I have always enjoyed being a part of his life. I've always loved him, and he's always loved me.

I've flown out of character so many times. In that sense I've been lucky, because I've been given the liberty to do just about anything I've wanted to do in my lifetime.

I worked with John, but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records, but I wanted to have a marriage.

I was brought up Catholic and know the stench of the Catholic Church. I moved away from religion early, but the impression remains.

I'm oftentimes called away from my family... it's rather hard for me to be away from them. We're very close.

Apparently God takes reception of Holy Communion seriously. Apparently some things are more sacred than politics. Apparently it's all or nothing when it comes to being Catholic.

You're at your best, when you're focused and you're serious and passionate about what you do, but at the same time you can relax and have fun and be confident.

A righteous father protects his children with his time and presence.

I do not have any fears, no fear of dying, of failure, of anything; that means I am very dangerous for my opponents.

I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.

The real strength of the environmental movement is the tens of thousands, even millions of individuals around the world who are really making a difference and they are doing it out of passion.

The English mind is always in a rage. The intellect of the race is wasted in the sordid and stupid quarrels of second-rate politicians or third-rate theologians.

They say plan it. I say do it.
