So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.

When something happens, we always say it happens for a reason.

I'm used to being the big tough guy, the bodyguard type.

People always have an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's wrong, but we have to respect their opinion.

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.

I was up around 340 pounds because the producers said they wanted a really big guy, and I'm not that big, you know! I've lost it all now though. I'm 285 pounds, my sexy weight!

Always wake up with a smile on your face, because a lot of people who went to sleep last night are not with us this morning.

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

My sister used to say I had a frail chest and she 'd beat me up all the time.

I believe that teachers committed to the community are the ones who deserve to earn the top dollar, a starting salary of a quarter million dollars a year.

There were a few things scarier than a bipolar vampire off his meds, but to be honest, not that many.

He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.

If a dedication page were to precede the total of my work, it would read: To the glory of Man.

I always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.

Someday in heaven, when the angels all sing, well, these rags that I'm wearing will be fit for a king.

With the absence of pressure, it's hard to do great things.

You know, I want to teach, but I don’t want to read?

Your approval before God is woven into the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, not what other men and women think about you.

We are entirely in the care of Divine Providence, and it is very sweet to remain so in peace. The Cross is never lacking; may it be our consolation.

Speed slows down the game.
