Musician

A good song is a good song.

I listened to a battery radio, old country and pop stuff. Because I was singing all the time, my dad bought me a $7.50 guitar.

I spent some time in Hell.

I can't be alone.

I play guitar, and it's not a prop.

I don't hold grudges.

I've laughed, and I've cried. Laughing has got it over crying.

'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.

I don't have Alzheimer's. I have part-timer's.

I felt my music wasn't aiming at anybody. Everything I was doing was because it was a good song.

I'll tell you, my dad played and sang, and it didn't take me long to figure out that playing a guitar was a whole lot better than getting ahold of a hoe handle or chopping cotton, man.

Life is too short not to enjoy it.

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.

I don't miss television. It's too much hurry up and sit around, wait till they do this and do that, and get the lighting just right. I'd much rather go out on a stage anywhere and just play and sing for an hour.

I've been singing and playing the guitar ever since I can remember.

I've been every way there is to be.

If we grew it, we ate it. If Daddy shot it, Mamma cooked it.

You don't play around with a good song. You try to just say it right in the proper place, and if you get the music and voice in tune, you'll be all right. That's always worked for me.

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.

I got to play with the big guys, the Wrecking Crew. They just blew me away. I learned a lot of stuff from those guys.
