Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.

Springtime blooms the starry treeBearing fruit the mariners see.High by night and low by dawnThe silver apple guides us home.

There's nothing I wouldn't do, no matter how dirty or hard.

In speaking of Jesus, I must speak about Christianity because I do not think it possible or profitable to divide the two.

A good goal is like a strenuous exercise - it makes you stretch.

White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.
