There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.

I never travel without my Stetson, but the more I wear it the more I realise that no one wears hats any more. When I was a kid everybody wore hats, especially in Texas, but I get off the plane in Dallas now and I'm the only guy with a hat. It's amazing.

Oil rich boys . . . had a nice, sweet smile but when you finished meeting with them your socks were missing and you hadn't even noticed they'd taken your boots.

I did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.

I was born with success. Lucky for me I am able to handle it. Also, I damn well deserve it!

After ten or twelve years you can only play something so long and then you start to parody it.

I've travelled a huge amount, but almost all of it has been through work. I spent five years stationed in London in the special services of the American Air Force, producing and directing shows for the troops, which I absolutely loved.
