“I loved Roy Acuff with all my heart, and I never dreamed I'd be able t...” — George Jones Quote

I loved Roy Acuff with all my heart, and I never dreamed I'd be able to meet him or see him onstage, or especially become good friends with him. For all this to happen, it's hard to explain what a dream this is when you love something as much as I love traditional country music.

I miss all of my old friends who have passed away. Sometimes you just don't understand why they were taken so soon. I loved and miss Johnny Cash. I miss my old buddy Johnny Paycheck, who happens to be buried in an area of the cemetery that I bought for my family.

After the first couple of years recording, I did a lot of praying. I said, 'Lord, please give me a hit.' I want one so bad.

Roy Acuff was a big hero for me, and I was so sad when he passed. It's hard as you get older to lose your friends and family.

I love Foo with all my heart, that's my man. Me and him we did this whole thing together. I have him to thank for a lot of stuff that's going right in my life. Me and him are always good. That's my uncle. I love him.

I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.

I know that Christ doesn't say it's gonna be an easy life, but he's there to get us through it. I believe with all my heart the Bible to be true.

There must have been something in my nature - I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now - which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy.
