When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.

Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.

Sit tall in the saddle and hold your head up high. Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky, and live like you ain't afraid to die. Don't be scared...just enjoy the ride.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.

But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morning/Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by/They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies.

So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?

The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber.

In a fight, If you don't take challenges someone does.

I was 17 and just learning what high fidelity was, what good sound was, and learning the mechanics of tape machines. It was a real education, going right from the consumer end to the record factory.

The present's just a pleasant interruption to the past.

The Sandinista revolution was without any question a popular insurrection.

The experience of the self is always a defeat for the ego.

On grass, it can be the small things that decide a match.

I just wrote a really cool script. It's called "One Track Mind." It's an origin story about the most successful and the most foul-mouthed, outrageous songwriter in history.

I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.

Courage is a greater virtue than love. At best, it takes courage to love.

A woman is human. She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. Equality is a given. A woman is human.
