I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.

It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

I was silver-white by the time I was 35, but having grey hair makes me look washed out. My wife and son have both said that grey hair doesn't suit me because I have a boyish face.

I'm never going to retire and say, 'This is it. This is my last show.' I will not go on tour - I promised my wife and son no more than two weeks on the road.

I'm not saying that I won't tour again, but the chances are slim because my priorities are different now.

As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

All of Christianity is based on a person—Jesus Christ. Christ Himself is the embodiment of the Gospel.

Nothing in the world is like this-a bright white page withpale blue lines. The smell of a newly sharpened pencilthe soft hush of itmoving finallyone dayinto letters.

Damning, with bell, book and candle / Some sinner whose opinions are a scandal. / A rite permitting Satan to enslave him / Forever, and forbidding Christ to save him.

In some way the secret vice exhales its poison; and the evil passion, however cunningly masked, stains through to the surface.

The normal and the stigmatized are not persons, but perspectives.

If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms.

It was a long period of time where I tried to figure out what worked, what didn't work.

These predators loved with wild fury, but they were also darkly possessive, crossing the boundary into what humans might term obsession.

I reckon if I ever marry, she will have to be a strong woman in a circus or something.

Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
