I was sexually abused by my step father for years and years, and that caused scars you can't see. And we know many people have the kind of scars you can't see.

It's your life... why not fill it with as much joy as possible?

People fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster!

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.

To a certain extent I don't see any real need for socialism in the United States immediately, but things change and it may be that there will come a need for partial changes in our economy.

It was very, very challenging being on this thing called the gimbal. It would throw you around, give you whiplash, and they'd tie you down.

When you lose your sense of humor, get a job running an elevator, because your life will be a series of Ups and Downs anyway.

Inspiration follows aspiration.

These kids know so much these days, and are bigger, stronger and quicker mentally. We just have to find out how to use it for good and not evil.

'Keep England White' is a good slogan.
