I was always listening to my father more than anyone. I was always afraid of my father more than anyone. But there's a moment in time where other men in your life can have a huge impact.

It's nice to be wanted. That's a really good feeling. I'm not immune to it.

Life's better when it's fun. Boy, that's deep, isn't it?

I had a difficult time hearing my own inner voice about what I wanted to be in this life, because there were all these perfect examples of what a man actually does. The notion is that he goes to college, gets married and provides. That's what a man does.

You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.

I like American history, so I was aware of the participants and a lot of it.

It sounds vain, but I could probably make a difference for almost everyone I ever met if I chose to involve myself with them either professionally or personally.
