Human beings are social animals and nearly all of us are driven by the need to be loved and the desire to successfully sustain meaningful romantic relationships for life.

Remember, the pain of rejection is nothing compared to the pain of regret.

Never stop trying to impress your partner. If you can both stay in that place, when you really want to show the best of yourselves to each other, relationships can become such a powerful team.

We don't enter relationships hoping to create an extraordinary existence; we come to them to share one with someone else.

Men are often miserable in relationships because they feel their partner takes them for granted, or shows him no appreciation for the things he gets right.

The one thing I can't get enough of is boxing. I love sparring in the ring or just doing the training, and it's easily one of the most effective ways of keeping off fat.

In this new era of social media the rules of the road have changed significantly, yet the basic yearning for true connectivity and love have not.

I'm not someone who likes having a master plan for everything, but I do believe in a vision for your life.

The idea of empowering people and that moment when someone sees what they are capable of is just incredible to me.

I get some female attention from fans, but mostly it's people asking for advice about a situation with their ex or their boyfriend, so it's not all love letters and fan mail!

The gift of life is the most valuable wealth.

Pass on it if you’re not passionate

Here's a tip: never get drunk while wearing a hooded sweatshirt. You will eventually think there's someone right behind you.

Stress is the worst thing. That's the ultimate demise of any good thing.

I've been many kinds of writers in my career: novelist; tele-playwright; short story writer. As a high-school student, I wrote amateur pieces for fanzines, and I've written for Hollywood.

I am persuaded that foolish writers and foolish readers are created for each other; and that fortune provides readers as she does mates for ugly women.

My time in prison only deepened my resolve against apartheid. Even while I was in prison, I fought against it, teaching my cellmates about white supremacy and how to fight against it.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult

Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.

I don't see music as working.
