I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.

It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.

If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I didn't think I could do it.

They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today.

None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think.

I have some of the old videos of my performances on it.

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.

As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was.

Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit.

Yeah, they let me do whatever I wanted to.

There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time.

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.

You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

I'm still learnin'. I pick up something from every performer I watch.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.
