I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it. ↗

I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special. ↗

I'm going to write, and after two years, when I've quit touring, if a special event comes up that I want to do, by all means I will do it, but as far as a structured tour goes, at the last date of 2014 goes, that will be it for touring. ↗

For my Vienna is as different from what they call Vienna now as the quick is different from the dead. ↗

I'm just not going to tour. One point I want to get across to everybody is that I'm still going to make records and I may still do some events. It's not the last time I'm onstage. It's been a part of my life for too long to quit everything. I have done it since the '80s, and I think it's time now to maybe see if I can live without that part. ↗

I've always thought that whether I'm writing or not, I've gotta pick the best songs, whether or not they're mine. I'm not gonna sing them just because I wrote them. I've gotta find the best songs to make the best record I can. ↗

I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years. ↗

I am not concerned with truth, nor with conventional notions of what is beautiful. ↗

We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8. ↗

Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time. ↗
