I'm from so far back in the sticks that they had to pump the light in there.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I can think of only two or three songs out of hundreds I've recorded that I performed as originally written. I like to become intimate with the material and change it to suit me.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Perhaps I've found the secret for an unhappy private life. Every three years, I go and marry a girl who doesn't love me, and then she proceeds to take all my money.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Roger Miller opened a lot of people's eyes to the possibilities of country music, and it's making more impact now because it's earthy material: stories and things that happen to everyday people. I call it 'people music.'
Quote by -Glen Campbell
With the TV shows, you get eight zillion people watching you. I was really surprised at the way everything went. I knew television was powerful, but that was just... wow.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I learned it was crucial to play right on the edge of the beat... It makes you drive the song more. You're ahead of the beat, but you're not.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
'True Grit' was fun to do, but I wasn't cut out to be an actor. I made John Wayne look so good, he won his only Oscar.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
They could never put me in a slot. They couldn't say Glen was 'country,' 'pop' or 'rock.' I'm crock, OK? A cross between country and rock. Call me crock.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I used to be just a total jazz freak. People used to say, 'Where's the melody? Is there a melody in there anywhere?' Now I let the music follow the song.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I'm running my life according to what I know to be true from the Bible and the old scribes.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
What I try to do is live with myself and please me. If I can't do that, I can't please anybody else or live with anybody else.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
With the first money I got, I built my parents a house back home, gave them a string of credit cards, and said 'Go.'
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I would rather do live than any kind of lip-synching or something like that. I don't like to lip-synch.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Do everything according to God, and be nice, and treat other people the way you would like to be treated.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I don't remember not singing. I started when I was, I don't know how - what, two years old or a year old or something like that.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
You don't mess with politics and religion. Leave it alone. People get upset at that sometimes.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
That's what we grew up with - the good songs, the good lyrics, the good big-band stuff. I miss that era.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
If you've got a good melody and a good story married together, that's a good sign for hit-song material.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
All my records - 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix,' 'Wichita Lineman,' 'Galveston,' 'Rhinestone Cowboy,' 'Dreams of the Everyday Housewife' - they all had strings on them.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
When I did 'Wichita Lineman,' it was as good as I could do it, so I keep doing it that way. It's such a haunting song.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I played on a lot of Sinatra sessions. He was simply awesome. He liked to laugh, and he could be one of the boys when he wanted. But he was also a very serious performer.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I needed a capo - a clamp to hold down the strings - so my daddy made me one out of a corn on the cob and a rubber band.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Our dad taught us not to be a loafer and a slough-off, that you don't blame somebody else for your misfortunes.
