I like to stay home and watch television. The Game Show channel, mostly.
I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.
I took speech training. I took a few voice lessons in college.
I've never been ambitious about recording.
Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.
The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.
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.
I'm very fortunate. I don't think anyone should have a job that they don't really enjoy.
I change every day. I'm still changing.
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'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.
There is no self.
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.
The first music I remember hearing was the traditional songs of Kentucky - things like 'Roll Along Kentucky Moon.'
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.
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 think I'm blessed with a pretty tough psyche.
I just wasn't psychologically made to get married or, God forbid, be a father.
I like to do nothing.
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.
