I find that once you start helping others, it makes you feel better about yourself. It helps you figure out what you want to do with your own life.

I can't bear looking in the mirror - I guess that's why my hair looks like this.

I was always the Southern gentleman.

I've always dreamed of having a large family.

I definitely didn't want to be that person that came out and was like, 'O.K. I'm going to lead every parade.

I love cooking. It's one of my favorite things to do. To share my parents' recipes that I grew up with is just something very special to me.

I'm still Christian. I was not raised in a Christian church to hate people. I was taught to love people and accept people. I know what I believe.

At some point in our lives there's something about every one of us that makes us feel like an outsider, I believe.

I think everyone dreams of that nice romantic wedding.

Get to work. Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair.

As long as you give my friend Jonah Lehrer a free pizza, I'll write a song about your restaurant.

I love any scene where there's a physical confrontation. It reminds me that I'm in show business and I play pretend for a living.

Even bullies need love.

I loved being in America. It was a great experience. People will be drawn to China because of the money but the lifestyle, everything about America, I couldn't recommend it enough.

Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee. Light gains make heavy purses. 'Tis good to be merry and wise.

There's nothing wrong with the world. What's wrong is our way of looking at it.
