I Mean As Long As

It’s Innate In Me To Be A Democrat — A True Southern Populist Kind Of Democrat. There’s Not A Lot Of Those Anymore. I’m Not Saying I’m Right Or Wrong. That’s Just The Way I Feel. The Issues That Matter To Me Are The Social Safety Nets For People, Health Care, Middle-class Concerns. We Need To Take Care Of The Middle Class And The Poor In Our Country. The Chasm Is Getting Larger Between Haves And Have-nots, And That’s Something We Need To Close Down A Little Bit.

I Think There Are More People Waiting To Forgive Me Than I Need To Forgive Them.

When I First Started, I Was Really Nervous. You Could Hear My Voice Quiver. So I Started Drinking A Bit And That Helped. A Lot Of Entertainers Have A Few Drinks Before Going Onstage And Don't Overdo It. Me, It Turned Into A Bigger Habit. But I Stopped That. I Was Getting Older, And I Was Thinking About My Kids. There's Enough Roadblocks Out There Without Throwing In More Yourself.

But, Yea, I Grew Up In A Strong Baptist Background.

Most Of The Time I Ask, "why Have I Forsaken God?" I Look At Myself And Ask That Question When Probably The Better Question Is To Say, "where Are You God, And I'll Let You In." Instead Of Thinking That You've Abandoned God, Push Yourself In The Other Direction Like, "god, How Can I Get Closer?"
