My life is a struggle.

The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.

Either you’re the one erasing or you’re the one being erased.

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television.

Life is a song to me.

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?

If you look at my life, generally, I’ve been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

When the external factors over which one has no control in a way start to become negative, it starts to affect our creative juices.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.

I break ground. I trailblaze.

After all, life hasn’t much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.

Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That’s what surfers do – take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, we’ve become incredibly adept technically. We’ve treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part.

I can express myself.

Baseball is a universe as large as life itself, and therefore all things in life, whether good or bad, whether tragic or comic, fall within its domain.

I suppose that’s one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
