My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.

When I was 20, I would have taken a bullet in the head to never have to be 35.

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

I see possibilities in everything. For everything that's taken away, something of greater value has been given.

If Spirituality is that you're humble in the face of forces greater than you and you believe those forces are more inclined toward being good than being bad, then I'm a spiritual person.

Don't spend a lot of time imagining the worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice.

No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.
