If you're normal, if you're healthy, you look at your children and you see your image, and you want the best for them. And you applaud when they take their first steps. And you are their biggest fan when they first sing in church. And, you know, that's a normal healthy person, father, parent, I believe. Well, multiply that by infinity and that's how God sees you. So I say that's pretty "nice."

Our preachers weren't always right, but they were never in doubt.

It's not a great song unless it makes your DNA remember Eden and your spirit long for Home.

When you're younger, you think of your age in fractions. 4 1/2, 5 1/2. You don't hear 36 1/2. You become 2, you turn 40, you reach 50, you make it to 60. By now you're going so fast you hit 70!

Life is a series of recoveries.

I do one sit up a day. I get up in the morning, that's the first half. I lay down at night, that's the second half.

We don't help people by showing them our trophies. We help them by showing them our scars.
