I did 'Formula 51' because I got to run around Liverpool in a kilt, with golf clubs.

I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
want kind findings
The only thing I've kind of missed is finding a really good western that I want to do, because I watched westerns a lot.
music thinking jazz
What kills me is that everybody thinks I like Jazz.
happiness money-cant-buy-happiness
Anyone who tells you money can't buy happiness never had any.
mother daughter dad
My dad was an absentee dad, so it was always important to me that I was part of my daughter's life, and she deserved two parents, which is part of the rationale behind us staying married for 30 years.
anger thinking space
I'm not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want.
heart serious heart-attack
I'm as serious as a heart attack.

We need to change America's image round the world. America has lost some lustre in terms of how folks aspire to be like us.

As this was an auspicious change the festival was a very joyous one... The giving of presents and the burning of candles characterized it. Among the Northern people the lighting of a huge log in the houses of the great and with appropriate ceremonies was a feature.
party clothes car
I read, watch television, watch movies, hang out with family. I like my clothes and I have great cars, and I drive those. But for most people, it's like, "That's boring. You don't club? You don't party?"
children way gone
Everything that I've gone through informs me and my opinions in a way, I guess because I am a child of segregation. I lived through it. I lived in it. I was of it.
running kids warrior
I run into a lot of kids who are either on R&R, or on their way to Iraq. They all know who I am and are fans, but they're kids! I am yet to meet one that's over 23. Yet they're full-time warriors.
