Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.

I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.

I was extremely moved by the plight of Tsunami victims and I was inspired to try to make a difference.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.

Your choice of armor was your intellect.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.
