I get it now; I didn't get it then. That life is about losing and about doing it as gracefully as possible... and enjoying everything in between.

I'm going to take the high road because the low road is so crowded.

Rage and grief are savage companions, but despair is the final undoing.

Don't get involved with anyone who doesn't respect his mother.

Life is about loosing, everything, gracefully

I learned that you can't truly own anything, that true ownership comes only in the moment of giving.

Find things that shine and move toward them.

A person without regrets is a nincompoop.

I work out at least once a day. If I'm not working, I'll work out three times a day. I do it because I enjoy it. It's a way of living and it makes me relaxed. It gives me mental stability, honestly.

When I was a little kid, I took tap and ballet. I've always loved to dance. I'm a rhythm machine.
