It was as though all my hostilities, anxieties, and conflicts were in one ball that was flying away into space, farther from me all the time, leaving me content with myself.

My philosophy is to take one day at a time. I don't worry about the future. Tomorrow is even out of sight for me.

My goal is to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer.

Sure my career means a hell of a lot, but it will never come before Sandy and my son.

I think the saddest thing in the world will be for people who face their death and realize they never lived. That won't be me.

Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.

I'd worked for the 'Dallas Times Herald' for ten years, and its death was a kick in the gut the like of which I cannot recall ever having experienced.

If Christ can die in a barn, I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad.
