Very few people are blessed enough to call their father a legend, and an even smaller number are able to share that notion with the rest of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never considered myself as a legend - just a simple man with heart.
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
When people see a legend, they call it a legend. But to be a legend, it's a lot of hard work and patience. You can't play for five or ten years and be a legend. It takes longer than that.
To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old!
My father was a really funny guy. He lived a good long life. And he was the reason I wanted to be funny and become a comedian and a comedy writer, so to say that he's somewhat of a mythic figure in my life would be an understatement.
When a person becomes a legend, the very thing that makes them human and knowable is killed off, so it's like being killed over and over and over again, for all eternity.
It's natural that anyone is compared to their father.
You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.
Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.
There is only one legend. That's me.
