You're going to think I'm being corny, but this is how I really feel: I hope my family and my friends will be able to say that I was an honest, kind and fairly decent man.

I am a demonstrative man, a baby picker-upper, a hugger and a kisser--that's my nature.

Sometimes I wonder whose side God's on.
