I started finding humor in everything. I used to watch a lot of TV, and I finally figured I didn't need to watch TV to find funny stuff. I just watch the commercials. I mean, the commercials just blew my mind.

I had always been able to make people laugh in school, so I really developed that and worked on it and I got pretty good at it and it turned into a career.

In Jones's experience, the decision to turn one's life around in a different direction rarely arrived with fireworks and marching bands. Often, the decision came with tears and regret. Then, almost impossibly, the power of forgiveness would fill an unseen void, allowing a new day's optimism and sense of purpose to take hold and point that life in a new direction.

There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make.

People tend to read books about a guy who goes back in time or a guy who is living under a pier.

When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.

It is not enough to recognize what is right and true. One must control the impulse to do what is wrong and easy.
