The fact is, my parents loved me, and I wanted to be worthy of their love. I wanted to make them proud.

A father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool.

I guess that's what I was: a set of abs. And they lit the abs and shot the abs and sent the abs on their way. The photographer didn't look at my face once. I was humiliated.

I like parties, but I'm shy, and I often find myself standing around, feeling awkward.

My father was a sergeant with the Connecticut state police. My mother was a hairstylist.

I too have my own demons, and I have struggled. I've made my own mistakes, and I'm not proud of them.

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.

I'd gone to Manhattan to become a model.

It struck me that what I'd heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn't a myth; it is tangible and forceful.

I wasn't even 20 at the time, but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man, a warm, funny, loving family man, and turn him into a loser and worse.

Mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together.

You know you've reached middle age when all you exercise is caution

Everything I've stated may prove to be total poppycock.... Perhaps time will tell. Perhaps time will do nothing of the kind.

When someone walks into my room and goes 'wow' at my record collection, at that moment I could actually hate music and just want to go sit in the garden.

Do not help the quick moneymakers who have delusions about taking possession of classics by smearing them with paint.

Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself

Thank you for that experience.

1.7% increase in terms of success rate a year, its nothing. By the time we get to the 24 century we might have effective treatments, Star Trek will be long gone by that time.

If not in the interests of the state, do not act. If you cannot succeed, do not use troops. If you are not in danger, do not fight.

I love anything to do with serial killers.
