I'm always looking upwards and looking forwards and so when someone says, "Hey, would you consider a TV show?" I say, "Hell yeah, I'll consider that. I'll check that out."

To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There's a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage.

Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.

My unconditional sure thing is that I don't have one.

Some soldier will say, 'You know, sir, you and I have some political disagreements, but I'm glad you came all the way out here.' And you know, you say, 'Well, maybe one day you'll see the light but I'm glad to be out here with you.'

And I love the hate mail I get, the unsigned, misspelled letters I get telling me to go back to Russia or wherever.

Half of life is up - the other half is dealing with it.
