For me, this was all or nothing. I left no room for anything else. That goal was just for my own push, my own self-esteem. The fear of not being a success in my life made me push even harder.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

NO ONE is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

Life- ride it until the wheels fall off.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'

I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.

Everybody has a Big Momma: the mother or the grandmother who tells it like it is, keeps it real with them, isn't afraid to tell you the truth about yourself.

I don't really judge. To each his own. You like what you like.

You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.

My audience is a diehard audience. They are dedicated. My audience always follows me and sticks with me. They're the reason I'm still here - in the films and in stand-ups.

... you might have been born to work the land. But according to the fate you’ve made for yourself, you were meant to save it.

I don't know, the word 'famous' just sounds really weird to me, because I'm just me.

None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.

The temple will be an ever-present reminder that God intended the family to be eternal.

Regret is an appalling waste of time.

Speak up, speak often and don’t worry about those that at this point cannot understand as they can never un-hear what we tell them.

Never give up on your dream...Perseverance is all important. If you don't have the desire and the belief in yourself to keep trying after you've been told you should quit, you'll never make it.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

For men were born to pray and save: Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, It's with O'Leary in the grave.
