I'm as serious as a heart attack.

You know me. It's my duty to please that booty.

Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesnt make it pancakes

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years.

If you do not have courage, you may not have the opportunity to use any of your other virtues.

You ain't got but one life. You ought to live it the way you want.

We've come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay. I can't imagine Dr. King watching the 'Real Housewives' or 'Jersey Shore.'

If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.

Anyone who tells you money can't buy happiness never had any.

The best advice that was given to me was that I had to be 10 times smarter, braver and more polite to be equal. So I did.

I try to learn the most I can from every mistake.

Competition in rowing doesn't just come from other countries. It comes from Wall Street, med school, law school. You think Harvard and Princeton grads want to live in Chula Vista?

People think I'm crazy, but I'm in demand.

Immigrants do more than help us win our wars, or set up cleaning shops or ethnic restaurants.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.
