I could not finish the rest of the tours the band had planned. I was replaced by Matt Cameron. The next years of my life were about recovery, healing, and right living. I never lost the need to create.
Peterson was the most coachable athlete I have had in my life, and I coach many athletes.
I only did karaoke once in my life. It was with Courtney Love and it was a total disaster. She pulled me on stage in front of 500 people at a wedding. I'd never done karaoke before.
I haven't always been confident. I actually suffered with low self-esteem growing up. Eventually, I got to a point where I was just like, 'OK, this is taking too much energy.' After that, I started accepting myself for who I was, and I was like, whoever is not going to accept it, they weren't really meant to be in my life in that way.
There's so much else to do in the world. To just be interested in doing films would limit my life.
I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.
My life has ever been devoted to her service from my youth up, though never before in a cause like this - a cause for which I would most cheerfully risk and lay down my life.
I'm not running from any particular problems, I just want to take some time and figure out in my life where I can keep doing what I'm doing but in a way that I can also honor what I want to do for myself.
Marriage does figure in my life, as I do want to have children. But I could also consider having children without getting married. The primary thing is having a good father, a partner who could be there with me through that journey.
I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.
I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.
I became a musician because I love music, and that is what has sustained me; it's not because I thought it was a great way to make a living. Music saved my life.
I really know right from wrong and apply that to my life. At home, I was the oldest of three. My role was to be the responsible one.
I was a businessman for 16 years of my life, so when I started writing, I wanted to keep my literary identity separate.
How happy I am to go to the front at last. To do my bit. To prove with my life what I think I feel.
My life was very Japanese.
My act is based on my life.
My standard for the women in my life is like, 'If no man can treat you better than I can treat you, they can't come.' You gotta step up to the plate. With respect, with acknowledgment, with support.
When I signed that major-label contract when I was 20 years old. I did it because I wanted to play music for the rest of my life. That's every 20-year-old's dream - to do whatever the hell you want.
I've always loved the desert. I've spent most of my life in the Southwest. It's certainly influenced my work. I used to dream about it when I was young.
At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am.
I've kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I've done for TV or movies. I know - I'm weird!
I'm a conservative Republican, small-business guy, married to same gal - love of my life - for 36 years. Strong family man, deacon at my church; I believe in America. I know government is not the answer; individual liberty and personal responsibility is the answer.
I've always been aware of mortality because I've always had ill health most of my life.
I've spent as much of my life fishing as decency allowed, and sometimes I don't let even that get in my way.
I realized my life was not going to be, per se, normal.
I'm not a freak. I'm not really crazy or anything. I don't think I'm really abnormal. It's just, like anybody else, I have interests I cultivate, and one of my interests is not getting too used to things. I've sacrificed a lot of things in my life in order to keep that sense of things being unfamiliar.
Making the City Of Joy gave me the best political education of my life. It became a wrestling match between an Englishman who had gradually ceased to be a Marxist, and a culture that was becoming more Marxist by the day.
I probably only cried five or six times in my life and I think four of those times was from my daddy kicking my butt.
In a way, I have simplified my life by setting priorities.
It's very easy for me to thank everyone for the incredible contribution they've made to my life.
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
The fact that my female characters have strong personalities but are also physically attractive probably reflects the women I've known in my life.
The roles that have come into my life have taught me - and in that time period maybe I didn't even know it, but whatever came up or whatever it is that you have to express at that time, has benefitted me in a particular way.
You know what's funny? I don't ever feel the need to escape. I have a strong marriage. I like my life. You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
There have been many people whom I have admired, emulated and even modeled parts of my life after. I study how they do things, and then I go through a period of 'trying on' those same thinking patterns and behaviors. After awhile, what is not essentially me falls away while the useful parts remain.
