What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.

I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.

In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.

Virtue is not photogenic.

Streets crowded with people strolling, or sitting at outdoor cafes. And always, talking, gesturing, singing, laughing. I liked Rome immediately.Everybody was a performer.

I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.

You haven't learned how to live until you've learned how to give.

Obey the voice within - it commands us to give of ourselves and help others. As long as we have the capacity to give, we are alive

The goodness you do might fail; but keep doing it, because the real failure is never doing goodness!

I want to help people to not feel alone, like I feel and have felt for so long. Everybody's just trying their best. I guess I'm like an anti-star.
