I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.
I'm an old fashioned joint smoker ya know.
I just enjoy both working and not working.
There's a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world.
At 82, Nelson (who wrote the song "On the Road Again," among a thousand or more others) is the elder statesman of country music, a steadying and powerful voice in the industry and on environmental issues, and he's still on the road much of the year. The music keeps calling.
When I'm driving the highway by myself is when I write best.
Vaporizers are good for your lungs. Cigarette smoke will kill you. I never heard of anybody dying from marijuana smoke. Vaporizers I think are smarter.
I am not a pig farmer. The pigs had a great time, but I didn't make any money.
If I started drinking again, there would be a lot of people bringing me pot because I can't handle alcohol. I just am not a good drinker. I get a little alcohol in me and I start trying to change the world, and that's not good. A lot of people are the same way. So that's why I don't drink anymore.
When I was growing up, Nashville was the place to go if you had songs to sell and thought you had talent and wanted to tour and be on Grand Ole Opry [radio show]. It was the big deal back in those days to play the Grand Ole Opry. And you could travel around the world saying, "Hi, I'm Willie from the Grand Ole Opry".
I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.
You could try to live monogamously. Good luck.
Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.
Songwriters might write cynical, world-wise lyrics and constantly talk about money, but most of us are downright naive when it comes to business.
I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.
There's so many things going on in the world, Babies dying. Mothers crying. How much oil is one human life worth. And what ever happened to peace on earth.
I believe in looseness.
More and more people are finding out the benefits of it - hemp and marijuana. The more they delve into it and research it, the more they realize, Hey wait a minute, we should give this another look.
I smoke pot every day, and I love it!
How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
Small family farmers are the only things that can save us because they take care of the land. Future farmers of America are going to be our heroes. Same with biodiesel, either way we need small family saustainable and organic farmers.
I think there must be safety in numbers. If you f - up enough times, they forget which one you really did. They start thinking, "Well, nobody can be that bad."
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.
When you hear me, you know it's me, regardless of the song.
