When those you love die, the best you can do is honor their spirit for as long as you live. You make a commitment that you're going to take whatever lesson that person or animal was trying to teach you, and you make it true in your own life... It's a positive way to keep their spirit alive in the world, by keeping it alive in yourself.

One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

When it looks like I may live longer than five minutes I'll drop cigarettes like a hot potato.

If I leave this Earth, I want to leave this Earth just knowing I've tried to give something back and tried to do something worthwhile with myself.

I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles.
