I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

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.

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

I made more money yesterday than I ever thought I'd make in an entire lifetime. But it's like somebody's going to take it all away from me and I'll be back in Texas, installing them damned irrigation wells. I didn't like that when I was sixteen. And I know I wouldn't like it when I'm eighty.

Love is an ice cream sundae, with all the marvelous coverings. Sex is the cherry on top.

Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.
