Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.

I've seen so many people in this business that made a fortune. They get old and broke and can't make any money. I tell you something... no one's going to play a benefit for Jimmy Dean.

A lot of things I am, and a lot of things I am not. But I think I'm about as good an American as there is. I love this country. It's been very, very good to me. And it will be good to anybody if they are willing to give of themselves.

Be yourself. Because if people don't like you as you are, they're not going to like you as somebody you're trying to be.

Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little bit better than you said you would.
