Alcohol is the cause of all my problems.

If I had to think of what I would do different in my whole career, it's that I never would have picked up a beer, bottle of vodka. That definitely changed my life. That is an Achilles' heel for me.

I want to be here, for my family. I want to be here for my baby. I want to see the birth of my baby.

If it wasn't for prison, I was in a bad way.

If your nose is up in the air, you cannot see where you are going.

There are so many people in the communities in need and so many organizations in need. People are doing amazing, beautiful things just to keep the world from not hurting more today than yesterday.

At the U.N., any nation that fights back is censored as an "aggressor."

I am too busy. I have not time for worry.
