All my life, I never realized you could have a conversation with a ghost.

I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't.

Chadron had a water tower, grain elevators, a tanning salon, a video rental store, a small liberal arts college, a Hardee's, a stoplight, and a curling yellow sign in the pet store window that read, 'Hamsters and Tarantulas Featured Today.'

Most people would live in an outhouse in Bangladesh before they would voluntarily move to Nebraska.

I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream.

My life now could not be better.
