My family was a good family, I had a great Canadian education and I came up in a great, little town like Ottawa.

I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and ev'ry highway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

I've always believed that if you don't stay moving, they will throw dirt on you.

As long as you're growing in your profession and you're respected, you're going to stay as clean as you can, because you've got something that you love that you don't want to lose.

The thing is to be able to outlast the trends.

I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs. I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes.

There were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out.

Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret. I just told my mother I want a bra. Please help me grow God. You know where.

It is not enough to read many books, you have to read the right ones.

Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.

A man's truest self realizations might require him, above all, to learn to close his eyes: to let himself be taken unawares, to follow his dark angel, to risk his illegal instincts.

If you focus more on the inside, you'll feel just as great about the outside. I feel attractive when I'm doing good and helping people.

Oh, I was an ugly kid. My old man took me to the zoo. They thanked him for returning me.

How weird that must be, to stay the same as everyone else changes.
