It Was Kind Of Exciting Being On

You Really Get The Most Out Of Sweet Corn If You Pick The Corn Off The Stalk And Rush It To A Pot Of Boiling Water. The Longer You Wait, The More Sugar You Lose. But If You Get It In The First Half Hour, That Is The Sweetest Corn Ever.

And Really, The Basis, I Think, Of Achieving Some Success In What I Want To Do Today Comes From My Mother's Push To Get Me To Read And To Make Something Of Myself From The Standpoint Of An Education.

As I Went To College, I Went Into Radio And Television. Now I Suppose Most People Think That's One Step Ahead Of Basket Weaving As A Major In College, But It Was Part Of The Journalism Department.

And From A Military School Which Taught Me That To Fit Into Society, You Can't Just Do Anything You Damn Well Please Because It Will Suit You. And That It's Much Better To Be With The Winners Than It Is With The Losers.

My Mother Gave Me A Push. If I Hadn't Had Her, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Had The Push. If I Hadn't Gone To Military School, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Decided To Get With The Program. Maybe I'd Be Running A Bulldozer, Rather Than Going On And Doing Something More.
