I get so frustrated with all these so-called singer-songwriters coming out and they don't write!

Like a lot of young people growing up in the middle of nowhere, I was desperate to leave my small town behind, but music reconnected me to my roots.

If you aren't free to protect yourself - when government puts its thumb on that freedom - then you aren't free at all.

No government should ever be big enough to substitute for the family.

I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen.

I think that political marriages are subject to more strain than most precisely because of the nature of politics.
