I'm not buddy-buddy with the players. If they need a buddy let them buy a dog.

In my wildest imagination I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts - in a poor black neighborhood in the poor rural community of Eufaula Oklahoma - would someday be called Congressman.

My dad doesn't like religion much but I grew up very close to the Baptist tradition. God isn't this distant thing. God is right here with you all the time. He's your buddy and you can talk about everything.

The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it but he found out from the coach.

I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning and they're crazy.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.

The good Lord is amazing He opens up doors. I was close to abandoning the dream and He was like 'Hey slow down there buddy.'
