I'm not a born writer, and I don't enjoy writing.

One of the upsides of tourism is that people begin to take themselves a little more seriously (and think their) culture is worth something. So rather than disparaging the local culture, they vitalize it.

If you want government to take everything, if you want government to take more and more over with the banks, more of the industries, all of a sudden you're going to have a government auto czar, right there, right down the line, that's socialism.

Each day take the time to reconnect and remember, you are an infinite being with unlimited potential.

I'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.

I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself.

Perfect nonsense goes on in the world. Sometimes there is no plausibility at all.

I'm a healthy eater, but I don't consider Chick-fil-A fast food.

My brothers were the ones who taught me about mythology and storytelling, and showed me how to do stop-motion animation.

There cannot be any better cross-section of America and I think the soldiers represent the best we have. Today's soldiers are brighter and smarter, perhaps in a different way, than past generations because they've been brought up in the computer and information age.

We should not fight wars without a clearly defined end state... when you go to war, it can't be a half-step.

I don't want to become a diabetic.

All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it's impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn't left an imprint through the generations. Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me - I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us.

I always wanted to know what I'd face next, even though that was maybe a bit detrimental to spontaneity. Structuring my life and avoiding chaos was more important.

I have no interest in going to Egypt and seeing the pyramids. I'm just not that kind of dude.
