If you could see yourself the way that others do, you'd wish you were as beautiful as you.

New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York, but you were in its shadow. Anyone who's come from here will tell you that same story.

I was just another long-haired teenage kid with visions of grandeur, strumming a tennis racket or a broom in front of his bedroom mirror.

Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.

If you're from New Jersey, let people make all those bad jokes about our state. Don't let anyone know how great it is here. It's the best kept secret.

Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey.

I pray every day, several times. It soothes me. I don't ask for anything, except for health.
