With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didnt use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program.

When you are surrounded by four people, one of them smiling, taunting, demanding, terrorizing, you don't have a complete grasp or perfect vision.

Society is better off without certain people.

Jail is much easier on people who have nothing.

I don't regret pulling the trigger. I should have been more careful with many of the things I said afterwards. That was a big regret.

I would, without any hesitation, shoot a violent criminal again.

Prior to being mugged I did not feel I had to carry a gun. However, I knew how to shoot a gun very proficiently. As a boy, I used to play cowboys and Indians all the time.

Don’t try to fly if you are worry about landing on the earth.

We are nothing without compassion for others and for all other beings!

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

I have read the last page of the Bible and I know for sure that we win in the end.

The business of philosophy is to circumnavigate human nature.

When you get punched, you have to get up.You have no other choice. If you don't, you're not going to grow, you're not going to get better as a player.

Redundancy of language is never found with deep reflection. Verbiage may indicate observation, but not thinking. He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts.
