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

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.

A first love is something that lasts forever in your heart. It's something that marks you.

If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.

A lot of times, L.A. is desaturated, and cement and freeways, and downtown.

Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance.

I'm very close to the pro-life movement.

There is no place, no country, more compassionate more generous more accepting and more welcoming than the United States of America.

I don't like when I look too cluttered.

All my money was made doing the dates and selling products when I was out there on the road.

Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained.

An unclean person is universally a slothful one.

I have won many trophies in my time, but nothing will ever top helping win the battle for peace in my country.

Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong.

Lowered reliability obviously yields a lesser competence. But lowered breadth does so as well.

I enjoy finding a low subject and bringing it up high. I think with strong technique, you can glamorize certain things. You can make the imagery sharper, rounder, and basically better looking.

The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans.

At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.

I like that there's no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there's no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.

I've got big, big dreams for the future.

All my favorite books and movies are franchises like 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings,' so that was always the dream, that maybe I'll get to write a series of my own.

I'm not looking to be famous, but I want a body of work and a moral character that is deserving of fame.

I pinch myself every day anyway. Everyone knows the road I have had in the game and how I have managed to get myself to where I am today.

At the end of the film Val suggests there may be a way to rejoin the living, when he says, 'Let's see if we're able to live among the living, walk among the living.'
