Progressive rock was happening.

I began to pay attention to Scripture and meet people who walked the walk, and little by little, I guess you could call me a born again Christian. 1978 is when I found my walk with the Lord.

I went to parochial grammar school, and I give thanks to the Catholic training because of course, they brought me to the heart of Jesus.

It was the Lord's love and my recognition of His presence in my life that made me realize how important it was to give Him the glory and be there for Him.

The more knowledge you've got, the more understanding you have, the better you are able to implement and pass it on to others.

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.

A lot of my identity as an Aboriginal person is about family.

I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me.

Racing, for me and for most people that watch it, it's about personalities.

Never be afraid to fail. Failure is only a stepping stone to improvement. Never be overconfident because that will block your improvement.

I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big waves, but there's constant activity, and that's the way I prefer to live my life.

I've been surprised at the number of people who were really angry that I tried to convey gender neutrality by using a gendered pronoun.

It's hard to mix with a crowd when you're walking down the hallway and everybody else is a foot shorter. I remember hanging out with my friends, like at the mall, and thinking people were staring at me and talking about me. It made me turn inside myself. I became more shy and quiet.

Joe Cocker never sounded forced. Crazy, perhaps, but not forced.

I certainly don't want our nation to go into default, but at the same time, I'm very concerned about our ongoing debt problem.

Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are.

I'm never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

I don't think I was awake for much of my childhood. I did a lot of napping. This might have been a defensive measure against encroaching depression. Until about the age of eleven or twelve, I had zero interests other than trying to steal gumballs from supermarket gumball machines.

I always wanted to devote a certain part of my life to dance - my true being is to be a dancer.

The beauty of performance for me is finding details with which to betray character.

I wasn't a wrestling fan growing up; I knew who Hulk Hogan was and stuff but I didn't watch it. I started watching wrestling about three years before I got involved with WCW.

You took care of your horse, and your horse took care of you.

You can come out of the furnace of trouble two ways: if you let it consume you, you come out a cinder; but there is a kind of metal which refuses to be consumed, and comes out a star.
