If there is one thing I am, it's always right.

I surround myself with positive, productive people of good will and decency.

I clearly understood the concept of wise use before I ever heard the actual words, for my father wouldn't allow us to waste anything.

How dare politicians continue to pass insane laws forcing good, law-abiding people to be defenseless and helpless.

I'm repulsed at the concept of man-on-man sex, I think it's against nature, I think it's strange as hell, but if that's what you are, I love you. I'm not going to judge people's morals. I say live and let live.

The hunting season is sacred. It's been sacred in my life since birth. I've never missed a hunting season in 64 years. It's my calling, it's what I am, it's how I was designed, it's what inspires, fascinates, satisfies, and drives my quality of life. And I know that it brings me such joy, and it does such a critical and essential performance for nature and for the environment, that I am dedicated and have been for over 40 years to promoting and celebrating that. I never defend it. I always promote and celebrate it.

Jerry [Garcia] got high and Jerry's dead. I went hunting and I'm still Ted.
