I just follow my nose, and instead of letting someone run my affairs and probably make me wealthy within a matter of years, I've just kept the board of directors down to zero.

It's the opposite side of the coin from sinking back into the recliner and becoming somebody they bury.

Read about some squirrelly guy who claims that he just don't believe in fighting, and I wonder how long the rest of us can count on being free.

Running down on a way of life our fighting men have fought and died to keep. If you don't love it, leave it.

I think we have to have capital punishment, I think there has to be something to contain certain people. Those deterrents I think are necessary, especially in prison.

I hate it, though, the thought of the death penalty is terrible, but it's completely necessary.

Willie Nelson's the one who told me the reason it costs so much to get divorced is because it's worth it.
