George Strait

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me, seeing another part of the entertainment industry.

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
