I've told everyone that I grew old on 'Hee Haw,' but I could've grown old without it.
I used to rejuvenate in 'Hee Haw.'
Of all the people that I got a chance to meet as I was growing up, probably one of the most famous was Eddie Peabody. I saw him live in person when I was just a child, and that excited me to want to learn more.
'Hee Haw' was a concept that nobody (including myself) thought would ever succeed.
A TV camera goes right through your soul. If you're a bad person, people pick that up.
When I hear or see his name, I see the Glen I've always known. There will never, ever be another Glen Campbell.
There were some that said if you hung in long enough, the world would catch on, and they have.
We didn't burn out. We were fresh. So when you go through the 13 shows, that was it until the next time. That way, you went out and did your concerts and things, and you were ready to go again.
I was the token bumpkin. It became, 'Let's get that Clark guy. He's easy to get along with.'

I keep a band of great young people around me, and we're not musically restrained. It's not about 'Let's do it correct' but 'Let's do it right.'
Music was my salvation, the thing I loved most and did best. Whatever was fun, I'd go do that.
Humor is a blessing to me. My earliest recollections are of looking at something and seeing the lighter side. But it's always spontaneous. I couldn't write a comedy skit for someone else.
