I saw my parents go through tough times between 1979 and 1983. They almost split up.
It was hard to say no to Johnny Cash.
I never felt like I had to sound like my dad. I wanted my music to be creative expression with no expectations.
Some folks expect my music to sound like my dad's.
I listen to all types of music.
I was getting up on stage and taking a bow as soon as I could stand.
I love to cook, man, I'm the short-order cook of the house. It's also my creativity. The kitchen is my space. I'm always cooking, I'm always making something.
I was born on March 3, 1970, as Mom and Dad's stardom was nearing its peak, while The Johnny Cash Show, was airing regularly on network TV.
My parents kept me close to them. I even slept in the same room with them throughout my younger years.
I think most of my life I have spent trying to gain normalcy, whatever that may be.
My father and mother were together because of their faith.
Sometimes, you find peace through misery.
My father was always respectful to my grandfather. I really wanted that to be known because I never saw him disrespect my grandfather, and I never saw them have a cross word.
He gave me a picture of himself when I was 14 and it said, 'To John Carter: My Best friend, Dad.' That meant so much to me. We were best friends, but we struggled.
I knew 'Hurt' way before Dad recorded it. In 1992, 'Downward Spiral' was one of my favorite albums.
I was 33 when my father passed away.
In the end, the best music will always rise to the top.
Words are powerful, but action rules.
We do not let slip from our understanding that America was founded on a bonding of many people, from many places and of various color and religion.
People come to Nashville where I live and they say, 'What's a great Southern restaurant?' Well, you got to know the right grandmother, because there's a lot of magic to good Southern cooking.
