When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

I want people to look at a checkerboard and think of me!

Before I got in this business I was in the chicken business.

I'm just grateful to be on this planet. I have no enemies that I know of. I'm just the guy who makes happy.

It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.

Hooka Tooka, my soda cracker, does your momma chaw tobacca?

Wiggle like a stick, wobble like a duck, that's what you do when you do the Hucklebuck.

I want my flowers while I'm alive.

God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK.

You wave your hands up to the sky, kick your legs to the side. Are you ready, let's do the Freddie.

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and Im it. Im the electric light.

Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.

The mind has greater power over the emotions, and is less subject thereto, insofar as it understands all things to be necessary.

I don't get along with anything, I really don't...I'm, I'm, maybe I'm just a, you know, incredibly tasteful human being.

Humans cannot produce viable offspring with our closest animal cousin: the chimpanzee. We cannot impregnate a chimp. So you know what that means? No condoms.

If human equality is to be forever averted -- if the High, as we have called them, are to keep their places permanently -- then the prevailing mental condition must be controlled insanity.

The military said we'll be able to confirm Saddam is dead with DNA testing. Apparently we have a sample of his DNA. So Monica Lewinsky is working for the CIA?

A dream becomes a goal the moment you write it down. A goal becomes a plan the moment you break it down into doable steps. A plan becomes a reality only when you take action.
