Everybody in the world wants the same thing...to be needed...a job that he/she can do well...to love somebody...Everybody...There's no mystery.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.

I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.

I'm very blessed that I have a healthy temper. I can become quite angry and burning in anger, but I have never been bitter. Bitterness is a corrosive, terrible acid. It just eats you and makes you sick.

Life loves the liver of it.

I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.

I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
