BILLY CARTER

The press made me something I really wasn't and I tried to live up to what they made me.

I refused to conform to an image that a lot of people thought a president's brother should adopt.

I've got a sister who races motorcycles and another sister who's a Holy Roller preacher.

I do not deny I brought most of my notoriety on myself, nor do I apologize for it.

Yes, sir. I'm a real Southern boy. I got a red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer.

Beer is not a good cocktail-party drink, especially in a home where you don't know where the bathroom is.

My mother went into the Peace Corps when she was sixty-eight.

Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it's hard to stop drinking beer.

I always said what I thought and I didn't hold anything back.

Yes, I'm a real southern boy.

There is no such thing as a bad beer. It's that some taste better than others.

I think I may have created a monster with my - I won't say act - but with my redneck pose.

I had this beer brewed just for me. I think its the best I ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it too.

The only thing I'd like to see hi [Jimmy Carter] do when he gets to the White House is appoint a working farmer as secretary of agriculture, that's all.

As of right now, I have two votes, mine and Jimmy's. I'm sure of Jimmy because he said he is gonna vote for me and Jimmy never tells a lie.

I got a mama who joined the Peace Corps when she was 68. I got one sister who's a holy roller preacher. Another wears a helmet and drives a motorcycle. And my brother thinks he's going to be president, so that makes me the only sane one in the family.

I never spoke to this many Yankees at one time.

I think he [President Jimmy Carter]'s around too many people that kiss his ass all the time.

Jimmy [Carter]'s still mad because I wouldn't take secretary of state. I want to be director of alcohol and firearms.

I found out water can be drunk straight.

Jimmy used to drink liquor. Now he's running for president and he drinks Scotch, and I've never trusted a Scotch-drinker.

Well, a good ole boy is somebody that rides around in a pick-up truck - which I do - and drinks beer and puts 'em in a litter bag. A redneck's one that rides around in a truck and drinks beer and throws 'em out the window.
