There are a lot of people who influenced me, nurtured me, helped me along the way. But I can just recall looking back, the first time I got my baseball glove. Put it on the wrong hand, all those kind of things.

I remember the first time I walked on that stage. Maxine and I were just a duet at the time, and we walked on that stage and did 'Looking Back to See.' Ernest Tubb introduced us at the time. I remember my knees were shaking.

Looking back, I spent a lot of time sitting in pubs when I should have been perfecting my playwriting.

I don't know what else I would be if I wasn't me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.

I'm not a great one for looking back.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.
