"I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. But I'm still striving to be a better man."

"I'm not a saint, and I'm not a sinner. I'm just a man. I'm a man who's been through a lot, and I'm a man who's learned a lot. And I'm a man who's still learning."

"I wear the black for those who've never read, or listened to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness through love and charity. Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me."

"I'm not a legend. I'm a man who's lived a long time. And I've seen a lot of things."

"I'm not a saint. I'm a sinner. But I'm a sinner who's trying to do better."
