I am proud of being a Southerner. I wasn't about to let Southerners on my show be stupid or aw-shuckses who just sit on the front porch and spit in the yard. I wasn't about to do that, and I made that very clear from the start. I was kind of the gate-keeper on that stuff.

Whether a man is guilty or innocent, we have to find that out by due process of law.

I'm not really wise. But I can be cranky.
