I will lay down my life if it sets us free.

You can't control the success or failure of a thing you work on. You can only control the thing you work on.

I went to a school where everyone was smarter than me. And I'm not blowin' smoke, I, my, I was surrounded by genius, genius kids. What's interesting about growing up in a culture like that is you go, "All right, I gotta figure out what my thing is. Because I'm not smarter than these kids. I'm not funnier than half of them, so I better figure out what it is I wanna do and work really hard at that because intellectually I'm treading water to, to be here."

We get the job done. So what happens if we win?

I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.

I got to fall in love. I got to win a war. I got to write words that inspired a nation.

I probably shouldn't brag, but dag I amaze and astonish.
