Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.

It's very likely that graduates, current employees and retirees have some wonderful pieces of Deer Park history in their closets or garages.

The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made.

What fun is life without a bit of showing off?

Fear shuts off possibilities. The first thing that kicks in when you're reacting with fear... This is what I love about Roosevelt's quote, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself."

I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.

I love hitting into the rough because it gets me close to the people.

Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

Your mind must be at its best for God before it becomes His dwelling place.
