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.
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.
Nothing's worse than a guy who loses fair and square and then whines about it.
