The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.

Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.

I had no allusions of radio success. I just loved being in studios. I was having fun and in that sense I now feel a lot like I did when I did that record.

I worked on the United Parcel Service truck, I sold home delivery of milk. But always, in the back of my mind, I wanted to get into radio.

Plus, I've always felt that, if the worst came to the worst in my career, I could always fall back to doing voices on the radio.

I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.

Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.

I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.

Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.

I consider myself very lucky indeed to have had the career I have. I listen to the radio now and you can't tell artists apart.
