"There's a lot of things that I've done in my life that I'm not proud of. But I'm proud that I'm a survivor."

"I wear black because I'm a rebel; a rebel for Jesus Christ."

"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die."

"I'm not a hero. I'm a man who's tried. And I try to keep trying."

"I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been. Each one an orphan's cry, a mother's silent sin."
