Sometimes in the heart of the summer, I look at people with their faces shaved and think it'd be nice, but once you get used to it, it's not as hot. Most guys say it gets itchy, but once you grow it out into a big man beard, the itching is gone.

I would recommend getting married young. That way you don't have all the baggage.

Making duck calls is the hardest thing that we make, so there's skill involved, and they're all handmade.

We've been in business together ever since we were children, so back in the day, there were so many references to 'your dad.' Rather than wanting to sound totally hickified and go, 'Well, my daddy said,' we would refer to him as 'Phil.'

I think Dad didn't really treat us like children; he treated us more like little adults. We were good kids.

You don't set off in life to be mediocre. At least, I don't.

It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

One of the most important things in the digital world is being able to story-tell and help people envision the art of the possible with respect to different technologies.

You have to have conviction and completely question everything and anything you do. No matter how much you study, no matter how much you know, the side of your brain that has the smarts won't necessarily help you in making art.

My position is that serious and good art has always existed to help, to serve, humanity. Not to indict. I don't see how art can be called art if its purpose is to frustrate humanity.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

You need an attitude of service. You're not just serving yourself. You help others to grow up and you grow with them.
