I rope steers in team roping events. There's a header and a heeler on a roping team, and I'm the heeler.

The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.

I've always played cards. I can't remember when there wasn't a gambling game going on somewhere, even if it was a craps game in a wheelbarrow on the backside of the racetrack.

Well, we all are what we are, I guess you might say by an accident of birth.

I didn't go to acting school, but I've been observing my fellow man for 66 years now, and I would think that's the best school there is.

Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.

I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.
