There's just no stopping me. I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.
My life has been being a daredevil. I am Evel Knievel. I am a daredevil.
The most important thing in life is, if you have a dream, I mean a real good dream, follow it.
If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.
I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could.
I don't have any problems in life, just situations.
I've been asked to do a TV reality show where I'd pick the greatest daredevil in the world. I'm giving it some serious thought, too.
Well, I ride just a couple times a week.
Buddy puts his nose to the ground and gets things done. He came up the hard way, and nobody gave anything to him. I have lots of respect for him for that.
The other thing I wanted but never got to do had something to do with Liz Taylor but she's getting a little old and a little fat.
We are awaiting a donor of a liver that will be a suitable match for my blood type, O positive, the most common type in this nation.
I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.
Breaks your heart when your son doesn't love you.
Sometimes I keep a car for only a week or two. I like the newest and the flashiest.
