We know that, when it comes to technology and the economy, if you're not constantly moving forward, then - without a doubt - you're moving backwards. ↗

And I said, 'Why not? It's the truth! Why can't I say I'm a Beatles fan?' I used to get criticized for that. ↗

But most distinctly, I remember always saying to myself that when I get big, I'm not going to go to bed hungry, I'm not going to wear hand-me-down clothes. ↗

I enjoyed the Hee Haw people, but from 1980 on I didn't enjoy it and thought about leavin', and thought, hell, it's an easy job and pays wonderful. I kinda just prostituted myself for their money. ↗

Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don't have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can. ↗

We were sharecroppers - we were a little bit of everything. We farmed and tried to make something. ↗
