I believe that there is God in all of us

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

There are a lot of things in this world that are more important than being popular. Being true to yourself is one of them.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

Life is generally something that happens elsewhere.

I missed my teenage years. I was never a teenager.

When I die, nobody cry at my funeral, in fact let's all have a party; I've lived the life of ten men. I lived all my dreams and more.
