• I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right.

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.

• I'm always looking for that place, you know, where there's no rednecks, that place where people get along, and I never find it. I went to Australia, right, and I thought Australia was gonna be a groovy, surfnoid, smoke-a-joint wombat, you know? 'G'day mate!' 'No worries!' And it's like Arkansas with a beach.

• Moving to Australia was not a career move, but a quality of life issue. It has no guns, no God, and no gangster rap.

It's worth the drop in income.
