I don't care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

When people use you, it does not feel very good. But when God uses you for His purpose, it's the gretest feeling in the world!

An intelligent consistency is the foundation of genius.

I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.

Nunc fluens facit tempus,nunc stans facit aeternitatum.(The now that passes produces time, the now that remains produces eternity.)

I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.

For me going out to party never meant drinking or taking drugs.
