I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.

Don't judge me by the cover, 'cause I'm a real good book.

I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope.

We can't all be stars; we can't all be leaders. We are all God's creatures, living life, and we have that God light in us and we're supposed to let it shine. And not everybody wants to be like me and stick their neck out to get up on stage and perform. There are those like me, but there are also those that are of a shyer nature. And they're smarter than most of us that are out there showing our asses.

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 would never stoop so low as to be fashionable.
