Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.

Around the property I have here, I'm about to put an all weather race track. I'm about to build stables. I'm about to ship over a couple of my thoroughbreds from England.

I wanted to be a jockey.

I'm a married man. If I want sex at this particular point in my life, I go home for it.
