Hillbillies:

"Don't let 'name tags' bother you or make any difference in your work. People have called me 'the glitterbilly kid' because of my clothes and hair. But basically, I'm just a hillbilly singer in rhinestones. 'Cash with flash,' I think somebody wrote once."

"The four things a hillbilly singer needs are a Cadillac, a Nudie cowboy suit, the right hairdo, and a pair of pointy-toed boots."

Taking A Stand:

"It's good when people recognize you, but it's better when they recognize that you stand for something."
