I don't mind dying if I have to, but I'm damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. I'm sorry.

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.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

Politics can be a factor neither in shaping Islam nor directing Muslims' acts and attitudes in Islam's name.

Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.

A loss leads to victory, being fired leads to a dream job..I find comfort in believing that good things can grow out of tragedy.

The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance.

The acceptance of all that God has given us and the willingness to let it go - to give it back to him at a moment's notice - that's true human freedom.
