I could start a war in 30 seconds. But some countries spend 100 years trying to find peace. Just like good manners, peace has to be learned.
I would never run for president.
When crossing someone's borders you have to be prepared to engage in a war that is far more brutal than if it were to take place on neutral territory.
There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.
Like I said, I've got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn't mean you can't support them emotionally and financially.
I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
If I'd succeeded right away at acting I wouldn't have sought out writing.
Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.
