We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.
I have to tell you, I'm a happy man. I've lived the life I wanted to live. I've written the books I wanted to write. No publisher has ever even suggested that I change so much as a phrase - commas and periods, yes - and I suspect that I have a lot of serious readers; in fact, I know.
What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
I do pinch myself, like when shows in non-English speaking countries are sold out, and people are singing my lyrics. I don't think I'll ever lose that; I'm always appreciative every day of the support I have as an artist, because I'm not a commercial artist.
I don't know if it is a spiritual, physiological or psychological phenomenon, but I believe now more than ever that singing is a universal, built-in mechanism designed to cultivate empathy and compassion.
If people really saw what was happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, then they might be marching in the streets to end wars. But you know, I think that no one ever sees because we're not allowed to see, and we're not allowed to publish what we do see. So it's quite difficult.
For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Certainly my life will not ever be as private and discreet, and perhaps I should even use the word insulated, as it was before.
No adult in my family would ever tell me anything about who my father was. I knew from an older cousin - only four years older than I am - everything, or what little I could discover about him.
Well no administration ever wants an independent overseer, and there are very good career people who are in charge of this investigation, but it could get hairy.
From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance.
It's flattering to make a picture which becomes a classic within 10 years; it's not so flattering, however, when people get the impression it's the only picture you've ever made.
Bill Powell is the only intelligent actor I've ever met.
I will always have dogs in my life, and I absolutely can't be with someone who will challenge that or disagree with that stance - I will not budge on this, ever.
Neither of my parents would ever stand in the way of any of their children speaking their minds.
I am more convinced than ever that a lively two party system is essential to our democracy.
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Well, I think everybody's a little jealous of the Vietnam Wall, even people from wars that already have good monuments. You have a monument like the Wall and nobody ever forgets your war, you can bet on that.
I was a huge 'Deadwood' fan because I'm a huge David Milch fan, so I've always wanted to play something like Calamity Jane on 'Deadwood' and just be the biggest Western tomboy girl, ever.
I knew that if the feat was accomplished it must be at a most fearful sacrifice of as brave and gallant soldiers as ever engaged in battle.
Just being a model, you're not supposed to speak ever, really.
No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune.
If ever you wish to meet intellectual frauds in quantity, go to Paris.
I'm a big kid, I'm a kid at heart, so I still love the classic family films, such as the great Warner Bros film 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' - not the remake, but the original. It's still one of the best movies, hands down, ever made, and of course that goes back to the ingenuity of the characters and the storyline.
A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.
Elections do have consequences, and those we elect and far too often re-elect have forgotten how government works and for whom they work for, and that an ever growing, power hungry state and federal government are not the answer to the problem, but 80% of the time are the problem.
I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.
I grew up in St. Louis, and I don't know if you've ever been to St. Louis in the middle of summer. There are days in the summer sometimes, weeks in the summer, where the temperature can be over 100 degrees and the humidity can be 100 percent.
I love pink - pink's my favourite. I hardly ever - weirdly - wear it, but I love the colour pink.
Christ was only crucified once and for a few hours. Think of the hundreds of thousands whom Christ has been crucifying in a quiet way ever since.
We need to get ready for a world where terrorism will not ever fully go away.
You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go... Don't ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.
