When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.

Mama is funny. She has a great sense of humor and loves a good joke. Loves a practical joke, too.

When I left, after my divorce, when I left Oklahoma, I never looked back. It was the future. It was looking forward from then on.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma on a working cattle ranch, and it was always very romantic to me: The West, the cowboy, the Western way of life.

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.

Again its time to pray for peace.
