I'll talk about the Everglades at the drop of a hat.

Whoever wants me to talk, I'll come over and tell them about the necessity of preserving the Everglades.

There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.

I have wrestled gators in Florida. I have sailed the ocean with Ted Turner. I have swam the oceans in the Caribbean.

I happen to have given lots of free speeches.

I've spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

In high school I was president of the Student Council, and I ended up doing a lot of speeches. After you do a few in front of different schools, you get really comfortable talking in front of an audience.

Whether it's fly-fishing, taking your camper to the Everglades, or just traveling, everyone has got a little retirement dream.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.

I used to practice my speeches on my tractor while I plowed my daddy's field.
