Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

If you want things to change to different things, you must think different thoughts. And that simply requires finding unfamiliar ways of approaching familiar subjects. Ask and it is given.

What man is, only history tells.

To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one's own.

You never know what's hit you. A gunshot is the perfect way.

I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.

I will count to 10 before tweeting.
