The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.

Money's only important when you don't have any.

Nothing in your life is beyond redemption.

I think you can get the wrong impression about me from my work and think I'm always a bit down. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving.

A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.

I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
