Personal Quote:

I've never been in a scandal. I've never been caught running naked down a highway. I've not tried to shoot anybody. Nobody's ever tried to shoot me. My child is legitimate . . . I've never been to Betty Ford . . . No porn . . . No drug addictions . . . I've outlived three of my doctors. So if you're going to write a juicy book, I've got a problem. See more »
