When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

George Jones will always be one of the most amazing singers who ever lived. He was a true Country Music legend who made music very personal to the listener - I think more than anyone else. He will be dearly missed, but always remembered.

I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.

When I'm dead, are they going to remember me? I don't really think about it, it's up to them. When I'm dead, who cares? I don't.

The traditions of the dead generations weigh like a nightmare upon the living.

I would like to be remembered as a man who brought an innovation to popular singing.
