I started working when I was three years old and was basically known before I knew who my own name was. My parents needed money, so at that time it became my responsibility to pay the bills.

When God put everybody here, I don't think that he had a master plan of a pecking order. That's not what you see in the Bible. I disagree with that notion, so in my estimation, we've all been put on this planet to share it. It is our duty and our obligation and our responsibility to make sure that we've done so in the proper fashion.

I have led a pretty colorful life.

I believe that things happen for a reason. I think there are no coincidences in life.

People do not realize this, but my drug addiction was actually a short span of time. It was only for two years.

It's funny; I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.

I knew how to read a contract by 10 years old, but I didn't know what it meant for somebody to come in and tell me they loved me and kiss me goodnight. That's a problem.
