“Southerners smile more than other Americans.” — John Shelton Reed Quote

“Southerners smile more than other Americans.”

“Country music historically has been sort of middle-aged people's music.”

“We could say that people who eat grits, listen to country music, follow stock-car racing, support corporal punishment in the schools, hunt 'possum, go to Baptist churches and prefer bourbon to Scotch are likely to be Southerners.”

“I'm not invincible. I am not picture-perfect. The reason I am here is not because of the money; if I get to entertain people and put a smile on their face, I feel content.”

“Practicing yoga has helped me realize a deeper, grounded way of being in the world. I have learned how to communicate in a meaningful way that makes me smile and have learned the super handy skill of efficiency. Use what you need. Rest what you don't.”

“We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.”
