Before, revolutions used to have ideological names. They could be communist, they could be liberal, they could be fascist or Islamic.

If I could change anything, I would definitely have had a father around. My father. I would definitely say it affected me deeply as a young man, coming up. Who doesn't want a father? Those are the beginnings, and those are what can dictate the roads you choose in life, and choosing them well.

If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.
You have to be a student of the game to be successful, and it's promising when you can say that, with a world-record performance, I still have things to improve on!

Don't do anything in practice that you wouldn't do in the game.
Of course, success takes you where your character can't sustain you.
With modeling, I'm thankful to have so many work options. But you do have to be able to say no. In reality, everything would be yes because every gig pays more than any normal job. But you still have to keep your priorities straight in life. And my priorities are my girls.
As long as you believe in Him, no matter what happens in your life, understand that it's all for a purpose.
I say from my experience that, you know, I have to do my career, and, you know with us, our careers come first, and, you know, anybody we're with has to take a back seat to that and understand that these are our lives.
I was trying to learn about Lyndon Johnson when he was young and creating his first political machine in the Texas hill country. I moved there for three years. You had to learn that world.

I don't know if this is a stumbling block, but I had a real setback when I won a Nebula Award for the first story I ever had nominated for a Nebula in 1982. And you might think that was a good thing - and it was a wonderful thing, I don't regret it a bit. But I was sort of discombobulated by it.

The most important thing as a conductor is that you have to want it. People will give you a million reasons why you shouldn't.
I spent a lot of time in boarding school. This is something I will never do to my kids. I think if you're having kids, then you have to take care of them; otherwise, what's the point?

Watch out when you're getting all you want. Fattening hogs ain't in luck.

You have to be willing to ask questions that almost no one else would ask.
The way I grew up, I was always taught that it's uncouth to talk about money, and that's not what should inspire you.
