My walk is consistently made fun of.

I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.

It's simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age , I think , what the hell , and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut !

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bright side rather than the dark sida all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.

You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

I find the less you focus on your flaws, the better off you are. Be yourself and be glad of who you are.

Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

Your soul isn't in your body; your body is in your soul!

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

Ideally the ultimate retreat is to retreat from the past and the future to always remain in the present.

True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.

There are lessons in everything. The bad, the good. Our job is to listen, and to continue to learn, so that maybe we get better at this. Maybe get better at life.

I think it is important for girls to see movies where it is not all just about 'the boy' or it's simply being about 'the relationship' or 'Am I pretty enough?' or 'Am I cute enough?'.

Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.

The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force.

Great rewards will come to those who can live together, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together.
