Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.

You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.

All the money in the world can't buy you back good health.

If you lose control of your debt and deficit, you get massive cuts in things such as health and education. You get appalling insecurity, jobs lost, firms going overseas.

Lack of education, old age, bad health or discrimination - these are causes of poverty, and the way to attack it is to go to the root.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever.

Fears that formaldehyde from vaccines may cause cancer are similar to fears of mercury and aluminum, in that they coalesce around miniscule amounts of the substance in question, amounts considerably smaller than amounts from other common sources of exposure to the same substance.
