A Quote by Charlie Brenneman

From the beginning of my days, it comes right back down to my parents. Raising all the kids. They really taught me principles of hard work, honesty and integrity. Those are the things that will always carry with you. My brother and I carry on those qualities that my parents have taught us. It helps keep me in check.

I know that's easier said than done but keep trying.

My childhood, I wouldn't say it was bad. It helped me grow up. I stayed out of trouble.

I was in the house nine days out of 10. There wasn't nothing good outside for me.
