I have nothing against old people; I want to be one myself one day.

I like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.

My wife's married. I'm not.

I don't believe athletes should be role models. . . . We're a one-shot deal, one in a million, so we should be the least likely role models. . . . I think one of the problems in society today is that we don't stress education enough, because we glorify athletes, actors and actresses.

I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.

Well, all I can say is that people know I'm not saying anything out of malice.

I'm serious. I've got to get people to realize that the government is full of it. Republicans and Democrats want to argue over stuff that's not important, like gay marriage or the war in Iraq or illegal immigration... When I run - if I run - we're going to talk about real issues like improving our schools, cleaning up our neighborhoods of drugs and crime and making Alabama a better place for all people.
