I told my father I wanted to play the banjo and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday and between that time and my birthday I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.

I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.

I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962 and I was ready to make music.

I think the best thing for you to do is just live your life. Live a life that's worth living one where you do what you want to do pursue your passions. That way if you meet someone they'll be joining a life that's already really good.

I'm human I'm not perfect. I make mistakes all the time but I guess my job is to keep those mistakes to myself which I'm already fine doing and just try to be the best I can be for those kids.

I love that for Barack there is no such thing as 'us' and 'them' - he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat a Republican or none of the above... he knows that we all love our country... and he's always ready to listen to good ideas... he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.
