A lot of people would think I have led this easy kind of charmed life, or maybe even a fairytale in some ways. But it has been anything but that.

Being friends with anyone for 30 years is no easy task - people change, they drift apart, they move on.

I sleep with my gun on my bedside table. I live alone; it is my protection and makes me feel safer.

Bitterness and resentment only hurt one person, and it's not the person we're resenting - it's us.

It bothers me when the Hollywood elite are all so against people having guns and want rigorous gun restrictions.

All the violence in videos and movies, you can't tell me that that wouldn't influence a disturbed person.

In my life, there have been people that I was convinced would be around forever, and yet, somehow they managed to drift away after a couple of years. Likewise there have been people who have begun as casual acquaintances but become more important with each passing year.
