Jessica Simpson on Willie Nelson

She credits a fellow Texan for helping her with her acting. “Willie Nelson taught me an amazing thing on (2005′s) The Dukes of Hazzard: He memorizes his lines by writing them as a song, and they become a melody to him,” she says. Nelson also gets credit for inspiring her musically. “I’ve been wanting to do a country record because it’s just my roots; it’s my soul. I aspire to be like Patsy Cline. Willie actually turned me on to her because he used to be one of her background singers.”
