I keep lot of my opinions to myself. My grandfather, who was a gravedigger, told me one day, 'Son, the next time you go by the cemetery, remember that a third of the people are in there because they got into other people's business.'
I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it. I'm a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.
When you're poor, you know nothing about the future, you know nothing about the world, nothing that goes on outside 300 yards around you.
I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances.
I've traveled the world and been about everywhere you can imagine. There's not anything I'm scared of except my wife.
I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.
