Glen Campbell's quotes

People speak out today, like the guy that did it on the Academy Awards [Michael Moore]. They can make an ass out of themselves if they do that. I don't get mixed in with politics.
I'd never acted in a movie before, and every time I see True Grit (1969) I think my record's still clean!
I'm a jazzer. I just love to get the guitar and play the hell out of it if I can.
I'm not a country singer per se. I'm a country boy who sings.
[on 'Rhinestone cowboy', the number he considered his personal anthem] I thought it was my autobiography set to song.
I couldn't smoke pot. It just made me go to sleep.
I've often asked myself, how much information can the brain actually hold? There'll probably come a day when you're able to download it; that's what you have to do when the machine's full. Or else you make a bigger machine. But they can't do that.
People who are advocating burning draft cards should be hung.
I think I'm most proud of my 1967 hit Gentle Of My Mind ... it's become my theme song. It was a privilege to record all those great Jimmy Webb songs such as Wichita Lineman, Galveston and By The Time I Get To Phoenix too.
