I have no fear, no fear at all. I wake up, and I have no fear. I go to bed without fear. Fear, fear, fear, fear. Yes, 'fear' is a word that is not in my vocabulary.
If I screw up raising my kids, nothing I achieve will matter much.
I'm the leader of the platoon and I run gambling and lotteries, dances and I sell beer illegally. I'm a con man and I'm thoroughly lovable.
I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.
I don't watch myself generally. I do something, see it once, and then I'll probably never see it again unless it's an accident.
It's not what you know, it's what you think you know.
