I know I'm a sinner.

I am from a rebel blood line.

I'm a very respectful person.

I can't really change Nashville.

I've got an addictive personality.

I was a massive Sid Vicious fanatic.

Everything is not perfect in our world.

The true Hank III fans want me to be me.

I'm involved with Satanists and activities.

I'll tell you, Nashville ruined country music.

I got my first drum kit when I was six years old.

Well, I've always felt connected to the outsider.

I'll never outdo Hank Williams. That's impossible.

I would definitely pick Flint over Detroit any day.

The only thing I got of my granddaddy's is a necktie.

Most radio stations suck as far as playing heavy-metal.

Each Hank Williams has always had an independent streak.

We're bringing together the country folks and the rockers.

We're kind of like the Kurt Cobain of country music in a way.

Hank Williams was playing rock-n-roll before rock-n-roll was.

I still believe in hope and that a good song will push itself.

It's a great feeling being with a label that respects what I do.

I always saw myself as a sideman. I figured I'd end up a drummer.

We are kind of country, but we do cater to louder kinds of music.

I thank God for all the independent hard rock that I grew up with.

I've got no respect for anyone who tries to take the easy way out.

I was always a Pink Floyd fan, and I was always into movie soundtracks.

When I'm making a record, I'm trying to take people through different moods.

This is just what I do, play music and create sounds and all that good stuff.

I told all my punk friends, 'If I'm gonna do country music, I'm gonna milk it.'

I would have to go back to being a dog. I've called myself a dog for many years.

I'm just gonna keep doing what I do, and hopefully not make too many people mad.

I live wild and free and reckless, but that's the price you have to pay for rock.

I'm not just a country artist. I've got so any sides to me and the music I write.

The folks at Curb Records didn't have respect for me and I was there for 15 years.

I chose taking the hard road and creating my own niche and getting my own fan base.

It's right there on my birth certificate, 'Shelton Hank Williams III.' It's not fake.

The only person out there worthy of mixing political views and music is Jello Biafra.

We definitely get respect as far as the musicianship, working hard and being road dogs.

It was fun trying to use a few different voices for the vocal track on 'Country Heroes.'

I always wanted to have my own farm. I've never been able to achieve that. It's kinda tough.

You can only be creative so long and then you're just down and out and completely destroyed.

If you look at how much Hank Williams did by 29 years old, it makes you feel pretty worthless.

Energy wise, playing the drums was a lot of fun; I just felt like it was a natural fit for me.

My first vinyl was a Kiss record and a Walt Disney record. I liked the energy of rock and roll.

I want to be able to deliver the kind of show that I want - to go onstage with my chin held up.

My mom nor my father never pushed me into the music business. I always did it because I wanted to.

No other Hank Williams has ever screamed like I have. I guess that's my way of officially being me.

I mean, out of every five shows we do, there's somebody saying Hank Sr.'s rolling around in his grave.

I always think Hank Williams knew that he was going to die young, and that's why he did that much work.
