Two of my biggest heroes were my father and John Wayne.

If I didn't like someone, I wouldn't want him calling me up when I was dying. I wouldn't want them having regrets that they didn't talk to me.

I never wore earplugs — that would have been cheating.

I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.

Europe was a horrible place. There was nothing on TV. The food was terrible. And they don't even have ice. Who doesn't have ice?

People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me.

If a man can tell if he's been successful in his life by having great friends, then I have been very successful.
