Willie Nelson

I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.

Freedom is control in your own life.

When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

I'm a romantic slob!

If you got the money honey I got the time and when you run out of money honey I run out of time.

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.

Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

Freedom is control in your own life. I have more control now than in the past, and I'm learning the value of saying no. That's very important.

I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.

All my kids were raised on computers: They were home-schooled on the Internet, so they're pretty good at that stuff. And I'm proud of them, but I don't really keep up with it.

There are more serious problems in life than financial ones and I've had a lot of those. I've been broke before and will be again. Heartbroke? That's serious. Lose a few bucks? That's not.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

Fortunately, we are not in control.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
