Nothing has ever opened my eyes like transcendental meditation has. It makes me calm and happy, and, well, it gives me some peace and quiet in what’s a pretty chaotic life!

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy.

To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.

The longer it takes you to become successful, the harder it will be for somebody else to take it away from you.

If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.

I've never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent, a selfish act.

Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.

Breakfast is my specialty. I admit it's the easiest meal to cook, but I make everything with a twist, like lemon ricotta pancakes or bacon that's baked instead of fried.

For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade shoes.

The trouble with this whole country is that it's divided up into little puddles with big fish in each one of them.

My readership seems to be the sensitive people, for the most part. Then there are the occasional fans who are like, "Ah, video games!"

I play drums and guitar, I snowboard, I do martial arts and acrobatics. I go to the movies every Friday.

Offering multiple games to reach such a broad audience is a great way to create awareness about horse racing. Obviously, my favorite is the jockey game. It's very realistic.

I have to live the content, then come back and write about it.

He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.

[My half-sister] Ella and I always were much closer as basic types; we're dominant people, and [my other half-sister] Mary has always been mild and quiet, almost shy.

Wars will remain while human nature remains. I believe in my soul in cooperation, in arbitration; but the soldier's occupation we cannot say is gone until human nature is gone.
