I think what creates a winner is a person who can connect with their partner - another human being.. connect with their soul

If I'm going to do television, I wanted that 'North and South' experience. I wanted something that's going to challenge me on a constant basis.

If you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it, and remember thats not who you are. If you live past that, then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist.

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.

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

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

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.
