"If a song can't be written in 20 minutes, it ain't worth writing. ... I get more kick out of writing than I do singing. I reckon I've written a thousand songs and had over 300 published. ... I don't know what you mean by country music. I just make music the way I know how. ... You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly. ... I was a pretty good imitator of Roy Acuff, but then I found out they already had a Roy Acuff, so I started singin' like myself. ... I ain't gonna worry wrinkles in my brow, cuz nothin's never gonna be alright nohow. No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive." 

Hank Williams
