I can sit underneath the shed with all my family, my cousins, and everything, and just be like, "Yeah, this is what it's about - just sitting with people you love and hanging out."

Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.

Someday you'll miss her like she missed you. Someday you'll need her like she needed you. Someday you'll love her and she won't love you.

I want a man as nice as my retarded dog, but one that doesn't crap on the floor.
