I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that's very telling.

I was very curious about the world even at a young age, and I don't know at what point I became aware that other cultures believed in different religions, and my question was, 'Well, why don't they get to go to heaven then?' And the answer was always, 'Well, everyone gets a chance - meaning at the word of God as it was described to me then. And that didn't sit well with me then. But in times of trouble or discord, it's a great comfort. And it wasn't till I left home that I really came to the conclusion that it didn't make sense to me for many other reasons.

I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.

I fell in love with the place! You know, the people, the bourbon, the music... it's in the air. It's something you can't describe on camera.

Same-sex marriage polls is our last chance to make a difference. If you're like me, you don't want to have to ask yourself on the day after the election, what else could I have done?

Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.

We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession.
