Indecision may or may not be our biggest problem.
When we did the first one, I really thought that one would be all that would be necessary. Everybody would say 'Oh yeah, the farmers are getting screwed here, let's fix that,'
What has changed is that nothing has changed. . . . That's what has made me more unhappy than everything else.
I think this is a great thing that's happening. It's good for the country, it's good for Oklahoma, it's good for all of us.
I think it's true, we have to watch what we're doing. I think if we start out to make what we're trying to do work locally, using local farmers, local people, local control, not going outside and importing a lot of things - everything we need, grow it in the area and be self-sustaining - I think we can probably keep that from happening to a certain degree.
I think it's time we start looking seriously at alternative energies so we don't have to go around the world looking for oil,

I'm not prejudiced in any way that I can think of. That's just not the guy I am.
I guess if you can't sing, you better have a style!
I like to stick with music I know I can play. I love classical, but I don't think I could ever play it. I'm just not qualified.

When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.
Everything about Sinatra was good. He had the ability to pick great songs, and once Sinatra had sung them, that pretty much was it. He pretty much put his stamp on everything.
