I love you every day, Mom

People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does...And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.

Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up, and giving up is the ground floor of doing yourself in. It’s not so much, what’s the point? It’s more like, what’s the difference?

I know I cannot undo this. None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded.

The most important elements of faith [are] believing in something bigger than yourself, taking care of those less fortunate than you.

when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.

You can be a mama's boy, be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So you cling to the one you think you might lose.
