When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself. ↗

There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life. ↗

When I'm sitting in the church alone, I can hear singing of the old people. I can hear their singing and I can hear their praying, and sometimes I hum one of their songs. ↗

On 'Van Halen,' I was a young punk, and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town, gunslinger attitude. But I'd say that at the time of 'Fair Warning,' I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people's minds I'm just a gunslinger. ↗

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics. ↗

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'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. ↗

If it's a good song and it fits me, that's what I'm going to do, I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can. ↗

Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind. ↗

You don't have to be a cheater to sing a cheatin' song, that's what I'm saying. ↗
