It's always embarrassing when somebody does something praiseworthy of you.

From Kris Kristofferson

I've never forgotten a single record I cut or a song I wrote.

From Kris Kristofferson

The one thing I regret is missing the time with my older children when they were young.

From Kris Kristofferson

When I was thirty, and a long time after that, I felt like I had to leave home to do what I had to do. Now, it's just the opposite.

From Kris Kristofferson

I never was one to go into an office and write. For one thing, I had a job. I was cleaning the ashtrays and setting up the studios at Columbia for a couple of years and working every other week down in the Gulf of Mexico flying helicopters. I didn't really get to just write songs for about five years.

From Kris Kristofferson

From Kris Kristofferson

Those 'Idol' shows are kind of scary to me. They wanted me to be on one of those panels one time, and I said it's the last thing in the world I'd ever want to do. I would hate to have to discourage somebody.

From Kris Kristofferson

The great thing about Nashville back in the day was that the old guys hung out where the young guys were.

Everybody was good to us, and everybody loved the music.

From Kris Kristofferson

I hope that I'll keep being creative until they throw dirt on me.
