On learning to swim: I'm too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say 'Now kick your feet.'

Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What's the point of being realistic? I'm going to do it. It's done. It's already done. The second I decide it's done, it's already done.

I have a great time with my life, and I wanna share it.

Here I stand before you - brown. Color of the mountains Colossal as the earth Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind Here I stand before you, the color of the night Frozen by the potential of me.

I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns, and - it's hard to put into words, it's real metaphysical, esoteric nonsense, but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.

The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.

If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
