I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined.

Music is what I must do, business is what I need to do and politics is what I have to do.

When I came into politics I always thought there was a possibility I would be killed.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.

I came from nothing really to something; I came from the gutter to making the gutters.

The town I came from really had one industry, and that was furniture.
