I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe, don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.

If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissing all over today.

I was eccentric, even as a kid. I was an early reader, an early talker. I was very curious in a way that maybe the other kids weren't. I was a little more outgoing.

Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.

I might have skipped class, but I didn't miss any lessons.

Life is the power that's greater than I can ever comprehend.

Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone's watching or not.
