Merle Haggard

Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.

In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available... in America right now.

And then, of course, there's a couple that claim to be, but I haven't done any DNA tests or anything.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

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

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
