There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like 'Just let them run it then. Don't you give them ammunition.'
I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!
When I was younger my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He's the one who got me to be a really big animal lover.
My dad used to say 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say 'You're tearing up the grass' 'We're not raising grass ' Dad would reply. 'We're raising boys.'
I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.
My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be and much less about what we would do.
I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.
My father wouldn't get us a TV he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.
I pressed my father's hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.
