You don't want to make records so you can win a Grammy. You make records because you want to be a musician.

I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business.

I don't care about the gold records and all of that stuff. I care about what we do onstage, and the joy that we bring to people.

I don't need an award to inspire me to keep making music.

I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.

If you want me in the Hall of Fame put me in because of some contributions that I have made to country music.

I have to make rock records occasionally.
