I had been raised on country and western in Missouri. But gospel was great.

I lived in a hotel across the street from Disneyland for a month.

Garry Trudeau put me in the Doonesbury strip many years ago. So I've been a cartoon once.

I could have gone on to be an engineer full time, except that there was more demand for my playing. But the love of working the board never leaves you.

Memphis is in a very lucky position on the map. Everything just gravitated to Memphis for years.

My ears won't fool me. Even when I do a session on digital, we still warm it up somewhere in the process, in mastering or mixing, running the signal through some tubes somewhere.

Most studios in Memphis had a house set of drums; the drummers just brought their own sticks.

If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.

My favorite animal is steak.

Robert Altman's Nashville is my all-time favorite film because it covers all the bases - it's original, moving, and has something to say, but also funny and incredibly entertaining.

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.

It's the sense of what family is at the dinner table. It was the joy of knowing mother was in the kitchen making our favorite dish. I wish more people would do this and recall the joy of life.

I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. When they boo you, you know they mean you. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.

My favorite monologue in the book is Kate Harrington's story of her relationship with Truman.

My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.
