Though I was a Catholic, I recognized that Protestant churches had something.

I've never been able to feel that there is anything undignified about making your living by the sweat of your brow.

Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice, lust, and drinking that was all about me.

I learned early in life not to judge others. We outcasts are very happy and content to leave that job to our social superiors.

We never had a bathtub. Mom would bathe me in the wooden or tin washtub in the kitchen, or in a big lard can.

There is a great supply of amateur undertakers in show business.

I wondered what I would do if I didn't have my God to turn to and be able to read the Book He had divinely inspired.
