First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

I purposely don’t talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It’s not about the money.

Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.

I don’t like people going behind my back.

I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

We had problems like all families but we had a lot of love. I was extremely loved. We always felt we had each other.
