I went to a Catholic University and there's something about being a Catholic-American. You know, St. Patrick's Day is, I'm Irish-Catholic. There's alcoholism in my family. It's like I've got to be Catholic, right?

Actually, the reason I look like this is because my father was from Sweden and my mother was Elton John.

Be more assertive with what you want to do.

Failing and laughing at your own shortcomings are the hallmarks of a sane parent.

I think the worst professional advice I received was this kind of unspoken message of "sit back and wait your turn," or "sit back and wait and let other people do things."

Now that I'm married and have two beautiful children, it really makes me appreciate... being alone.

I married a woman who loves to camp, and I am what you would call "indoorsy"... My wife always brings up, "Camping's a tradition in my family." Hey, it was a tradition in everyone's family 'til we came up with the house.
