I believe in faith, family and country. I really keep it that simple.
I am a peasant from the Auvergne. I want to keep my farm, and I want to keep France. Nothing else matters now.
I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.
I'm a little old-fashioned.
Dad worked his entire career as an aviation technician. Mom was a legal secretary who became a teacher. We lived a simple American life.
The only thing I know is that no one ever sat in a therapist's or a psychiatrist's room saying, 'My parents just loved me too much.' The only thing you can do is love them and be around. Kids don't really care what your car is like or how big their house is. All they really care about is that you are around.
Although no one believes me, I have always been a country girl and still have a country girl's values
I come from a blue-collar family, and I'm just glad for the work.
We're just Southern people.
That's what I love about kids. They don't care about anything else but who you are as a person.
We search the world for truth; we cull The good, the pure, the beautiful, From all old flower fields of the soul; And, weary seeker of the best, We come back laden from out quest, To find that all the sages said Is in the Book our mothers read.
I'm an old-fashioned guy.
I never grew up with heroes in show business. My hero was my father.
I'm from Iowa, we don't know what cool is!
I've never been a guy who plays the political game. It's either right or wrong; that's how I was raised.
My label is just "good farming", which isn't something you can put on a t-shirt.
I represent hardworking people. That's who raised me. That's who I grew up around.
I use the lessons my father taught me every day. And I believe the simple value of integrity matters, even in a complicated place like Congress.
I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.
Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels.
Prizes do not mean anything to me. I think it is more important to make a child aware of the existence of a weird creature like a water spider that breathes through its backside.
I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.
I want to be part of the resurgence of things that are tangible, beautiful and soulful, rather than just give in to the digital age. But when I talk to people about this they just say, 'Yeah, I know what you mean,' and stare at their mobiles.
There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.
Work hard and do it right. Very simple; but very effective. They are morals I got from my mum and dad. And within that are the details. Be respectful. Try and smile, try and enjoy it. They are things that I still value.
