When I was sixteen or seventeen, I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a playwright. But everything I wrote, I thought, was weak. And I can remember falling asleep in tears because I had no talent the way I wanted to have.
One thing modeling taught me is that the spotlight can change everything.
It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.

I went through an anti-Establishment phase and thought we should get everything for free.
I know melody. I know rhythm; I know bass guitar; I know the piano. I know everything about music that helps build the music that go along with creating the whole art form, you know what I'm saying?
My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.
I want to do everything. I want to be the president, I want to learn Tae Kwan Do, I want to climb mountains. I'm always bugged by the notion that I can't do everything.
I don't know that I read more than the average person. I don't think I do very much. I tend to read more when I'm on holiday. That's when I can go through books like you wouldn't believe. I read a bit of everything, but the novel has always been very important to me.
If I didn't have the family and everything, I wouldn't be where I am.

Everyone that's come into my life, everything that has happened, has been a part of the plan. It's not even about being in the industry or becoming more popular; it's just about growing and outgrowing some people.
I try to make everything a positive, even if it comes off negative.
Part of my act is meant to shake you up. It looks like I'm being funny, but I'm reminding you of other things. Life is tough, darling. Life is hard. And we better laugh at everything; otherwise, we're going down the tube.
I think all of this jogging and everything else shows the people want to be masters of their own bodies and environment.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.
My body parts are all I have left now that are only mine - the world owns everything else.
