I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me, seeing another part of the entertainment industry. ↗

I remember that in '81, country radio was pretty pop, and everybody wanted a crossover record - and all of a sudden it came back to traditional. Now it's kind of swung the other way a little bit, but it always comes back. ↗

I spend most of hunting season at the ranch. We all love to hunt whitetails, and we have a pretty good supply in South Texas. I also love to hunt elk in Arizona, mule deer in Utah, and I've been to Canada to hunt caribou. ↗

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

If you start out trying to achieve a specific thing - like doing stadium shows or going into the studio and doing an album - the end result is what counts. ↗

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