I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.

I grew up in Chicago, but I spent a lot of time down in Kentucky, and Kentucky was about 20 years behind the life that was in Chicago.

Of course I'm going to say 'I'm a thug,' that's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here!

Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey.

The beer and the wurst were wonderful, but I was dying to be back in the South, where the livin' was easy, where the fish were jumpin', where the cotton grew high.

There's a vintage which comes with age and experience.
