“My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down — but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let’s all have another round.”

“We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.”

“Get in there. Sing the song. Get out. I’m not big on a hundred takes and a thousand overdubs. My kind of singing isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s meant to reflect the imperfections of a human being like me. After a couple of takes, that reflection is pretty accurate.”

I got to see him in concert and he took every single one of his songs and changed them up! Okay, I totally understand Willie, that you might get bored with your work after having to sing it a bazillion times, but, I've only heard you ONCE, and I want to hear the songs the way they were originally recorded.
