“No matter how many books I've sold, nothing can correct the fact I look like Alfred Hitchcock from the side.”

“I unloaded trucks for a living and I hated it.”

“I'm a much nicer guy than people think I'm going to be.”

“If you do anything with the Cowboys, there's an interest in it. And there are people who constantly want to write books about our teams in the '90s. They want to interview me. I say, 'Look, I've done it a million times. I'm just not interested. What's left to tell?'”

“So he said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and put it in a library.' I thought 'That's a turn-up for the books.'”
