The businessman gets his name on a door. The star gets his name in lights. They both get their names on a parking space.

I visited Minnie Pearl's home down in Nashville, and I liked it so much I asked the same man to help fix up my place.

People I knew in high school have gone in many directions, as I have gone in my particular direction. They now have different and absorbing interests of their own, just as I have mine.

I was smart or lucky or both. I saved my money. I was on TV for 10 years, and then I spent eight more years on the road. Working on the road is where you really can save money if you put your mind to it.

In Hollywood, I was used to being on a dirty old sound stage, and the whole crew is just scratching themselves. They don't care who you are.

I don't like the pressure of TV.

I've learned that just because you're successful in one area doesn't necessarily mean you'll be successful in another.

Even though I've got quite a bit of singing experience, I still get nervous when stretchin' my pipes.

I could go on all night about my wonderful experiences.

My life hasn't been the norm. The most interesting parts are before I got into show business.

No man has more than a handful of close friends. He may find some of them early in life, some later.

One thing I've learned is when you find a best friend in this life, you better hang on.
