When you get successful, the money comes in and pretty soon you've got to hire an accountant, you've got to get up early, and then you've got a day job.

I'm a background person.

I sing and play guitar, but songwriting is how I pay my rent. And so I didn't really need a lot of publicity to get people to record the songs.

I'm basically a songwriter, man. Songwriters are down in the fine print, you know? And I really enjoy that.

I'm an electronic manipulator. Most people think J.J. Cale, he's organic. There ain't nothing organic about me.

Sometimes the simplest forms of music are the hardest to play. Especially for musicians that are accomplished.

We used to say when we were 20 years old, that when you reach 30, you gotta hang up your guitar and get a real job.

I basically make my living writing songs, so I've been able to go around in my trailer. If I got tired of a place, I could move on and roam around. It's a nice environment for writing songs, as opposed to sitting at a recording studio console all day.

I love the rabbits and the squirrels and the birds.

I was a late bloomer in the music business.
