Anybody who goes searching can find enough artistic things I've done that nobody can ever say I sold out.

I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about.

If there ever was a poet for the working class Billy Joe Shaver and Merle Haggard would be my nomination.

I've never wanted anybody to like me because I had long hair or short hair, or that they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I smile.

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
