I've never been good at giving advice. The only advice I ever gave people was to find something that you are passionate about. But I hate giving advice, because, who am I? I'm just a girl.
The idea that I should become president seems to me too visionary to require a serious answer. It has never entered my head, nor is it likely to enter the head of any other person.
I recognize my limits but when I look around I realise I am not living exactly in a world of giants.
Being able to travel and see the world really makes me appreciate the blessings in my life. There are so many people that will never get a chance to see some of the things that I've seen during my travels. I'll never take that for granted.
Am I an intellectual? I don't think so. Less than people sometimes think, I have to say. But more than some others think.
I don't view any of the hits I've ever written as the climax of my career. They're just minor stepping stones.
I'm very pleased and very proud of my accomplishments, but I'm most proud of that (hitting four-hundred home runs and three-thousand hits). Not (Ted) Williams, not (Lou) Gehrig, not (Joe) DiMaggio did that. They were Cadillacs and I'm a Chevrolet.
I'm just another Opry entertainer. I'm not the start of the Opry, and I'm not the ending. I'm not the Alpha, and I'm not the Omega. It's been a pleasure taking part in the Opry and country music these many years. I'm part of a big operation.
I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.
I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.
I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.
There's tons of people doing awesome things with comics online - I'm just one dude!
I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game.
I am often compared to actors who were launched with me. I feel blessed with whatever I have got so far.
My brother's a teacher in Costa Rica and actually does a more important and significant job than I will ever do.
I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.
I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs.
It's their story, and I got to be the guy in the back while they were in the foreground.
