Quote

I'm a firm believer in God himself, but that's as far as I can go. I'm not any denomination. I'm not Catholic or Presbyterian or Baptist or Methodist or Jewish or Muslim. I'm none of those things. And I'm sure that's just fine with God.

All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.
