When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I'd be a preacher.

I was born into a family of preachers.

From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.

My grandpa was a preacher.

When I was in meditation, God began to speak to me, and God said, 'Roland, I have enough preachers. I need people where you are in your positions. When you are on radio, when you are on television, you speak into more people in the five minutes than some preachers speak to in an entire year.'

I spent, as you know, a year and a half in a clergyman's family and heard almost every Tuesday the very best, most earnest and most impressive preacher it has ever been my fortune to meet with, but it produced no effect whatever on my mind.

My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.

I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first.

Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.

It certainly was unusual growing up with two fairly well-known pastors as my parents.
