I sting like a butterfly and punch like a flea.
Never insult a mans beard, you either get thunder or lightning
Hey, I'm like Aretha Franklin, I don't get no R -S -P -E -C -T around here!
I was in my tighty-whities and I never woke up, and I ran over a mile.
Everything I say is 95% truthful.
You can't spell squirrel without si, and that's me.
I'm always just carrying a Tupperware cup, ever since my mom went to a Tupperware party and got 'em. I've left them strewn all over the U.S. and Europe. I drink iced tea out of them.
We killed our own hogs, we killed our own beef, we raised our own vegetables, which Mama canned. We did live off the land.
People say, "Look, your book [Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty's Favorite Uncle] is about tall tales." And I said, "No, you don't understand, OK? The book is tall tales, OK, by me. But look, those tall tales are my life, OK? And look, I added some spices in there. That's the five percent. You know the one about the wolves chasing me? The only thing about that - they wasn't wolves, they was coyotes".
When I started out in the duck-call business, my college buddies would come in and say, 'Robertson, you have a college degree. What are you doing?' Then they drove away saying, 'What an idiot!' Thirty-five years later, they're saying, 'The sucker's a genius!'
