I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.

I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.

I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.

I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.

Understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger. An iron has no gentle touch, and love ain't learned from hate.

There's a lot of rednecks in the country where I grew up.
