Zitat des Tages von Glen Campbell:
I've laughed, and I've cried. Laughing has got it over crying.
With a lot of songs, songs that don't make a good statement, I forget the words.
It was Dec. 22, 1981. I figured I had messed up enough, and I decided to have a little faith and let God take over. It definitely straightened my act up in a hurry.
I'm an avid golfer.
It's easier being with somebody who's got some sense.
TV is just an incredible media.
I was out of control... I was a mess, but God has forgiven me.
Hank Williams' music - it just doesn't go away, for some reason.
I was very candid in my book because I want people to know the truth... and that people can change for the better.
I'm running my life according to what I know to be true from the Bible and the old scribes.
I guess I'm like Roger Miller who used to say that he didn't have as many jokes as he thought he did.
Dean Martin. He was incredible.
There's no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.
You don't play around with a good song. You try to just say it right in the proper place, and if you get the music and voice in tune, you'll be all right. That's always worked for me.
With the first money I got, I built my parents a house back home, gave them a string of credit cards, and said 'Go.'
You don't mess with politics and religion. Leave it alone. People get upset at that sometimes.
I've been singing and playing the guitar ever since I can remember.
I've always been forgetful.
I'm not an actor, really. I can play myself pretty well.
I used to be just a total jazz freak. People used to say, 'Where's the melody? Is there a melody in there anywhere?' Now I let the music follow the song.
Some people have said that I can 'hear' a hit song, meaning that I can tell the first time a song is played for me if it has potential. I have been able to hear some of the hits that way, but I can also 'feel' one.
I gave John Wayne the push he needed to get that Oscar.
I can think of only two or three songs out of hundreds I've recorded that I performed as originally written. I like to become intimate with the material and change it to suit me.
I like to start the day early, it keeps me out of trouble.
I know it was raw in some places, and I was a jerk in some places, but that's the way I was, and I was stupid.
I don't hold grudges.
God's law is God's law, period. Teach your children that.
I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.
I would rather do live than any kind of lip-synching or something like that. I don't like to lip-synch.
I go to a great church.
We didn't have electricity when I was a kid. We had to watch TV by candlelight. No, that's a silly joke.
The very first big one I had was 'Turn Around and Look At Me.'
I've been through a lot of changes.
I'll tell you, my dad played and sang, and it didn't take me long to figure out that playing a guitar was a whole lot better than getting ahold of a hoe handle or chopping cotton, man.
I love symphonies. I love string sections.
Honesty I can take. Lies I get upset about.
