I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.

The ones that you're calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.

I haven't been familiar with hard work. It was no problem for me. But first I hitchhiked to Pontiac, Mich. and got a job working in Fisher Body making those 1951 Pontiacs.

I worked there [on Pontiac] three weeks, got really sick of it, went back home and joined the Air Force.

I sang those old gospel songs for my mother, and she said, is that you? And I said, yes, ma'am. And she came over and put her arms around me and said, God's got his hands on you.

I read novels but I also read the Bible. And study it, you know? And the more I learn, the more excited I get.

Love is a burning thing and it makes a firey ring.
