I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.
I think these shows with the young kids doing these jumps, doing these fantastic back flips, I think they're absolutely great. They did what I never did.
I think I coulda landed on a dime. I really do.
I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.
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.
There's just no stopping me. I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.
Sometimes I keep a car for only a week or two. I like the newest and the flashiest.
