Sammy Sawyer Enjoy Quotations

I was very nervous. When I first met him and walked up to him, everyone was telling me to be sure and stay in character so he can enjoy it, and I got up to him and I froze. I patted him on the shoulder and I said, 'God bless you, Mr. Knotts.' But we talked and he was very kind. We got our picture made and I got an autograph. He was a real gentleman, very cordial, very humble. I was very sad when I heard he had passed away. I always dreaded that day, because he's my hero.

I like (performing) because people enjoy it. I'm here for what the Lord wants me to do and entertaining and evangelizing is my way of doing it. My life verse, what I love to share, is Proverbs 17:22, a merry heart, or laughter, doeth good like a medicine. I believe a lot of us need to laugh and smile, and that would make this world a lot better that what situations we're in.
