I probably worked every single entertainment medium, including some that don't exist. I worked the circus, carnival, I had my own medicine show, I worked 18 years of radio.

The struggle goes on. The victory is in the struggle, for me. And I accepted that a long time ago.

I went to all the Love-Ins. I took my kids. I enjoyed myself.

My secret for success? I don't know what the hell success means.

I'm more important to me than any body you can mention. Do you know that?

I know who I am. I don't have to brag. I know what I contributed. I know what I did. You think you can do it better? Hey, go right ahead. The stage is yours.

The ruling class is smarter than you, and they're more creative. And if you forget that lesson, you go down the drain. Because if they weren't, they wouldn't be around as long as they have been and as strong as they have been.
