For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I’ve had my breasts lifted – but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day; that by honest work, I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time.

If you’re going to be a winner in life, you have to constantly go beyond your best.

It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

To do your best is no longer good enough. We now have to do the seemingly impossible.
