Baseball got into my blood early and I worked harder at it than anything.

Flying was as necessary to my business as fiddles and footlights.

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.

I loved Mississippi and do to this day. The rainbows that stretch from horizon to horizon after a summer rain are the most spectacular I have ever seen.

Redd Foxx was the same gruff old codger you saw on television.

Mother was a talkative person, and I was a lot like her.

There are worse things than being thought a Republican.
