And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.

It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

But I thought love would more than prevail.

And I told her point blank, you've got everything to live for. You've got such talent. You're back singing great, lose the weight. And she went and did it, and look at her now!

Yeah, she was hitting me hard. She was drunk and she was hitting me hard.

I don't have to announce all the women I've slept with.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your manliness.

She was making great money at personal appearances.

I never had migraines. Never had migraines.

I knew I couldn't solve it. Because I couldn't figure out what made her drink when things were going well.

Because I would give it all back to have my health.

She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over.

And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.

On stage, don't go near her. She's the best performer in the world.

It looks like I'm this huge shark going in for the kill... I don't know what I was thinking.

But when alcohol comes in, start running. Because there's a demon there, and it goes back to her childhood.

I'm into women. I've always loved women.

I was already set for life when I met her.

I'm really excited that I'm able to work again.

I was naive enough to think that I could make the difference.

But she told me she was never going to drink again.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head.

She bit my bodyguard. She bit him in the stomach.

I think that the problem with network television is that they cling to the whole business model like they are clinging to the side of a cliff.

I study the Bible constantly. I teach the Bible. You know, I'm a Bible conductor, and I have a lot of people studies. But also, I see how small things really help people to get over humps in their life. Gives them direction.
