I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.

It didn't matter if I got bitten by a dog or I ripped my pants on the fence post or I poked myself in the eye with a tree branch that I was crawling over, it was all about the shortcut. My whole life I took the shortcut, and I ended up lost.

It was like the Wizard of Oz had spoken, and what he said was too ludicrous to take seriously.

To be 26 years old and lose your left heart ventricle was probably the most dramatic thing that's ever happened to me in my life...

She was probably the girl I loved the most of all my girlfriends, but also the toughest one to make things work out with. If I had put that much effort into any of my other relationships, I'd be married with five kids now.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

I was like a clock that had exploded- my springs were hanging out, my hands were cockeyed, and my numbers were falling off.
