I'm very emotional. That's why I wear shades a lot.

I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.

We believe that God is big enough to give every nationality their own religion, as he's given them their own taste in food, in plants, in furniture, and housing. I think that each religion has their basic Christ-ish way to get to the Everlasting God.

Where mercy is shown, mercy is given.

I'm marrying my common-law wife, Beth, the Christian way, with a preacher and all that.

And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.

It's just like being a father; you got to show them love and you got to show them the path. I don't like this role-model stuff, though.
