Where mercy is shown, mercy is given.
I need to get a greater vocabulary than what I have and when I get mad and my brain searches for a word. I have to find different words and to do that you need to have more of an education.
I'm marrying my common-law wife, Beth, the Christian way, with a preacher and all that.
I was in prison for a charge in Texas, murder one. Back in the '70s in Texas, I was there. I heard the shot. I was in the car.
I have a hard problem, being some part Native American - being a Christian: do you get burned, do you get cremated, do you get - let the sharks eat you? How do you die?
Everybody's under God's planet, and God is the Almighty, the Beginning, the End, the Alpha, the Omega. He's Big Daddy. He gives out these little soldiers and sons and angels and saints to help everybody else get through to him. I'm not the 'Jesus-only or you're going to Hell' kind of guy.
As a bounty hunter, I have to dress the part. If I came to the door and looked like Carrot Top, you'd laugh.
And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.
You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.
Born on a mountain, raised in a cave. Arresting fugitives is all I crave.
I've been a biker, I've been a convict, I've been a husband, father, and son.
It's just like being a father; you got to show them love and you got to show them the path. I don't like this role-model stuff, though.
I say to all fathers - be as good as you can be- because your sons and daughters will follow in your footsteps.
The closest thing to hell on earth is prison. It's the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Besides death.
