Pastoral Resources

It is a good motive, fame and money, as it is tangible and measurable. Being an artist is neither measurable nor tangible and certainly not a way to become rich.

My drum sticks are in the 'Hall of Fame.' I know that.

I like this town, it's really great. They've put me in The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. This town is about music. It's about the kind of music I like.

I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important. I'm always amazed how much people talk about celebrity and fame. I don't understand the attraction.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

I guess it comes back to the old motto, you have you're fifteen minutes a fame.

With fame, you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got and what you can bring to their life. It's not a relationship-it's a leech.
