The image is one thing and the human being is another...It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way. When I was a child I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times. Ah just act the way ah feel. Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes. I ain't no saint, but I have tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God. I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I had contributed something to the world. Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity. I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants. Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just shorta do'em all together, I guess. I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend- without a song" So I keep singing a song. |
