I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had, and I will continue to try to take advantage of them the best way I can.""You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want""I'm just a preacher trying to preach the gospel, the good news of this thing, which is diversity and the richness that it brings to our culture""I'm not as angry as I used to be. I have a happy wife. I have a happy life""Life is too short to be angry all the time"
