Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.

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.

The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber.

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. So It's probably 80 percent luck and 20 percent skill.

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

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