We're nothing if we're not loved. When you meet somebody who is more important to you than yourself, that has to be the most important thing.

Everybody is a hero in their own story if you just look.

I do try to live every day as if it were my last, and it has worked for me so far.

I have great family and good friends; the stories I told became popular, and people all over the world bought them.

If you woke up each morning, and immediately dwelt on your ills, what sort of a day could you look forward to?

I have been lucky enough to travel a lot, meet great people in many lands. I have liked almost everyone I met along the way.

I remember watching myself on video and being so disappointed with myself because I was constantly moving around the place and laughing. I thought, 'I must be so much louder than I think I am. From inside it feels fine.'
