Jerry Reed

I got my first guitar at age of 7 and never laid it down. Momma taught me G, C, and D. I was off to the races son!

When I was a kid of six or seven, I used to get up on the stove woodpile for a stage and I'd put on the wildest show.

I used to watch people like Richard Burton and Mel Gibson and think, 'I could never do that.'

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.
