I've got a pretty iconoclastic attitude about all institutions myself. And I just think the church was corrupted right after Christ was killed.

I do all the classics, like Dylan, Kristofferson, Jimmy Reed, Mexican mariachi songs, some jazz songs from the '30s. Cole Porter's 'Begin the Beguine,' that's one of my favorites.

I like to do nothing.

I just wasn't psychologically made to get married or, God forbid, be a father.

There is no answer. That's what Buddhism says. The Void, oblivion, no answer. To be in that state is an enlightened state.

Study up on the Eastern religions. They're the only ones that are realistic. There's no answer, see.

For a musician to be good, he has to have humanity and care about the other guy. And as for blues - in a sense, black people have kept this country alive and given us our entire musical heritage.

I don't recall what the first record I bought was, but I definitely remember hearing Creedence's 'Born on the Bayou' and going out and buying it. The guitar and drums in that band were really good. I loved the words to the title track, and Fogerty's voice sounded just great.

The first music I remember hearing was the traditional songs of Kentucky - things like 'Roll Along Kentucky Moon.'

My sister tells me I began singing before I could even talk. My first performance was of a song called 'My Blue Heaven,' which I began singing when I was a year and a half.

There is no self.

I watch television. Game shows - I hate the hosts and the people on them, and I love the questions and the answers.

I've never seen a Western that was really truthful. Most are just morality plays. Good guys and bad guys - and the good guys always win, whereas in reality, most of the sheriffs were as bad as the gangsters they were after.

I've always been a searcher - you know, a hunter. I'm certainly not the only one. They say actors shouldn't get political and everything, but you can't separate yourself. You can't disconnect yourself from anything.

I change every day. I'm still changing.

I'm very fortunate. I don't think anyone should have a job that they don't really enjoy.

I was in a movie called 'Twister,' and in it, I had to hit a golf ball off of a roof with a driving wood. The guy who owned the place where we shot showed me how to do it, and I hit the ball about 150 yards.

The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.

Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.

I've never been ambitious about recording.

I took speech training. I took a few voice lessons in college.

I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.

I play myself all the time, on camera and off. What else can I do?

I have a good ear for languages.
