I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about.

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.

I've never wanted anybody to like me because I had long hair or short hair, or that they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I smile.

One thing is certain, You can't shake hands with a fist.

Teach my children to love! They'll learn to hate on their own

Now I lay me down to cheat on the woman I love so, and if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know.

I took the hardest possible route that you could take, and I still overcame and succeeded.

My long hair just can't cover up my redneck.

You don't have to call me 'Mister', Mister; The whole world called me 'Hank'!

The Beatles were just the beginning of everything music could be, just like the Stones I was Rolling along like a ship lost out on the sea.

If there ever was a poet for the working class Billy Joe Shaver and Merle Haggard would be my nomination

Out here on the water, it’s a fine line between feeling in control and losing it altogether.

When compelled to cook I produce a meal that would make a sword swallower gag.

I'm a complete romantic - it's why I always get married. Someone should really stop me.

Theres no guilt in eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains.

I love to draw. I spend hours every day drawing.

I wonder if I shall ever see her again, and I realize that I scarcely care. I can feel the sheets beneath me, and the cold air on my chest. I feel fine. I feel absolutely fine. I feel nothing at all.

Just being born makes you worthy enough to be here

Sensations are nothing but confused modes of thinking.

Electronics was something I could always fall back on when I needed food on the table.

If you aren't working on your goals, you aren't working. You're just wasting time.
