I think it's true, we have to watch what we're doing. I think if we start out to make what we're trying to do work locally, using local farmers, local people, local control, not going outside and importing a lot of things - everything we need, grow it in the area and be self-sustaining - I think we can probably keep that from happening to a certain degree.

It's usually a little costly to do a movie instead of a tour. I don't make that much money in the movies.

Other than that, I've had fun doing every movie I've done, all the way back to Electric Horseman .

Whether you're young or old, when you meet someone, you look 'em in the eye and speak up so you can be heard.

The three-hour show, Mr. Benson said, is going to be heavy on performances (23) and light on awards (9), with an emphasis on showing country music's influence on other genres and on New York artists. Mr. Benson said he was particularly looking forward to a pairing of Willie Nelson and Paul Simon before they present the song-of-the-year award, Mr. Simon will sing Mr. Nelson's Crazy, ... Still Crazy After All These Years.
