I'm very proud of my heritage.

I've already got my rent paid, and it's too late in my life for me to go around talking up stuff that I don't like or believe in.

Well, we all are what we are, I guess you might say by an accident of birth.

No, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky.

I rope steers in team roping events. There's a header and a heeler on a roping team, and I'm the heeler.

I didn't go to acting school, but I've been observing my fellow man for 66 years now, and I would think that's the best school there is.

Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.

The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.

Hopefully, generations after us will continue to protect, preserve, and look after this wonderful land.

I've got about $30,000 in chips, not near enough.

I live on a ranch in Utah for now, but I'm gonna move. I've got another ranch to move to, but its location is a secret. When I get there, I'm gonna plow the road in behind me.

I'm a widower with three sons and seven grandchildren. One of my sons is my partner on the ranch.

I'm very proud of my heritage.

I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.

I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.

I'm not anybody's judge; I don't know what motivates people to do what they do. But I have a lot of admiration for anybody who can start with absolutely nothing and make a little something out of it.

I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'. You need to get out in the water and swim.

I love watching a good horse do what he's bred to do - I guess that's what I like the most about it. And I love to see good athletes do what they're bred to do.

What I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning.

My saddle horses are my friends. My dogs are my friends.

I raise quarter horses. Mine are mostly thoroughbred cross horses, a little bigger horses than some people like. I sell them or use them on the ranch. A lot of them go to the rodeo arena and some of them go to racetracks.

Hopefully generations after us will continue to protect preserve and look after this wonderful land.

Never far from my thoughts are memories of being a little girl in Queens, N.Y., our family of five crowded in a small one-bedroom apartment, struggling to learn English and survive a new life in a new country, America. We humbly and gratefully still recall the kindnesses shown by strangers and neighbors who became new friends.

You never realize how much of your background is sewn into the lining of your clothes.

Rhetoric and dialectics can't change what I have learned from observation and experience.

Lawyers are: One skilled in the circumvention of the law.

My experience as a refugee had made me strong; I could survive anything, even the world of fashion.

I was devastated by the loss of my job in March, although I can understand why it occurred.

The world is not black and white. More like black and grey.

For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work.

Doing a budget means learning an ancient and powerful word NO.

Over the years, I would go to my agents, my manager, and I would say, 'Hey, there's this amazing true story about this gay English mathematician who committed suicide in the 1950s.' And they would be like, 'Please don't ever write that script. That is an unmakeable film.'

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom but we hope it we know it.

There is the theory... that you live in two places: You either live in fear, or you live in love.

Soul development depends on attachment and bonding. Every brain and body is genetically wired to develop itself, but the full soul development of brain and body depends on each child receiving the care of between two and five completely bonded caregivers.

I just remember watching Federer the first year he won Wimbledon. He was struggling with his back problem. I remember it vividly. It looked like there was a chance he was not going to finish. He had that look in his eye. Then, somehow, he found the wherewithal to dig a little deeper, and suddenly he wins the thing, and he's a different player.

Are we the first hominids? I really, really, really doubt it.

Learning ballet is wonderful for children even if they never become dancers. It is wonderful because it teaches discipline grace and manners.

The danger of dioxins in our environment, our food chain, and our bodies is difficult to illustrate, since they are not visible to the naked eye. My time in Vietnam allowed me to see the result of large quantities of them and therefore understand better the insidiousness of the smaller quantities that have found their way into our lives and bodies.

It's very important to prioritize. I know, for me, my family comes first. That makes every decision very easy.

Government alone cannot solve the problems we deal with in our correctional facilities, treatment centers, homeless shelters and crisis centers - we need our faith-based and community partners.

Betty White is probably a very nice woman.

Theres a dignity in consequences.

Most of us manage the fateful things that happen in our lives the best we can, certainly not to a Stalin-like 20-year plan.

I've been vegan for 15 years, and it turns out it makes a very big impact on the environment to eat fewer animal products, which cause more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined.

From the 1920s into the 1940s, Britain's standard of living was supported by oil from Iran. British cars, trucks, and buses ran on cheap Iranian oil. Factories throughout Britain were fueled by oil from Iran. The Royal Navy, which projected British power all over the world, powered its ships with Iranian oil.
