Willie Nelson

I like to stick with music I know I can play. I love classical, but I don't think I could ever play it. I'm just not qualified.

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience. That's why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

Freedom is control in your own life.

When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.

You could make any song sound creepy if you wanted. It's all about the inflection.

When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.

I wanted to connect all people who are thinking about peace on Earth.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.
