“When you do a show five days a week and one night a week, the way I was doing, you use up so much music every day that pretty soon you find yourself hustling for material.”

“Sixteen Tons was written eight years before I recorded it.”

“You can keep rummaging around until you find a song you like, but you can't predict whether it'll hit or not.”

“Getting everyone on the same team is a form of hustling.”

“I'm always performing. I'm always hustling.”

“When I'm out hustling up new industries, I can offer Louisiana's many selling points. We have unmatched natural resources, a unique culture and fantastic workers.”
