Zitat des Tages von Jim Nabors:
My life hasn't been the norm. The most interesting parts are before I got into show business.
After I sang 'Back Home In Indiana' the first time, I became a Hoosier.
I could go on all night about my wonderful experiences.
I visited Minnie Pearl's home down in Nashville, and I liked it so much I asked the same man to help fix up my place.
I'm a farmer! We have a farm that's part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Maui, and we raise macadamia nuts.
When I went to Vietnam in 1971 with Bob Hope, we went to Da Nang, which was a Marine base. I just have to say it was one of the biggest thrills I have ever had.
I started singing in college just as a fun thing to entertain.
People I knew in high school have gone in many directions, as I have gone in my particular direction. They now have different and absorbing interests of their own, just as I have mine.
It's people, not possessions, that make home for me. It's not that I get much time to entertain, or any of that, what with the television production schedule and, now, singing concerts all around the country and making recordings.
A mother and a little boy were walking along, and I could tell the minute the recognition hit the little boy. As he walked by holding his mother's hand, he said in a real loud voice, 'Look, Mother. There goes an old Gomer Pyle.'
I'm far happier now than when it seemed I was on the cover of every magazine in the land.
Even though I've got quite a bit of singing experience, I still get nervous when stretchin' my pipes.
I've never considered myself an actor; I get much more immediate satisfaction singing. If you sing good, people clap. On television, you never know whether you've done well or not.
