My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.

I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

My partner and I won the race, and I threw my hat into the air and bent to pick it up. Everyone started laughin' because I had split the back end of my pants out, and I wasn't wearing shorts.

When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.
