How you spend your time defines who you are.

There's a group of 12 oak trees on my property in California that I call 'my disciples.' Their branches form a canopy over the ground, and I sit underneath them for inspiration.

There is no such thing as failure. Mistakes happen in your life to bring into focus more clearly who you really are.

This whole celebrity-fame thing is interesting. I'm the same person I always was. The only difference between being famous and not being famous is that people know who you are.

You become what you believe. And to believe that you are created by the power that's greater than yourself means anything is possible.

It's much easier for me to make major life, multi-million dollar decisions, than it is to decide on a carpet for my front porch. That's the truth.

I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.
