“Any love involves loss, and that’s the risk you take. And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I’m with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary.”

I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don’t discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that’s very telling.

Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.

I don’t feel restless, I just like to travel.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.

America is not a country, it’s a business.

I don’t want to waste time being angry at someone I love.

You make yourself what you are. You have control of your own destiny.

The woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it.

I’m not a big proponent of happiness. I think it’s highly overrated. I think misery is underrated. There’s so much value in that. You can’t have one without the other.

Your shame will be your torture, and your torture will be your life. I wish it long.

Equality, absolutely, that’s what defines us. It’s what makes us great. If it doesn’t sit well with your religion, let your God sort it out in the end, but that’s us. We’re equal.

Without pain and suffering, we would be nothing

America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.

You dont know someone until you know what they want.

No more excuses. I can’t blame anything on my parents. I’m responsible for my mistakes and my choices.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You’ve just got to keep moving. You can’t stop.

I go to correctional facilities and talk to kids there. They have little kids in there who are, like, 12 years old, stealing cars and stuff like that.

Right now, I do not like kids at all. I mean, I love my fans and everything, but when you have kids following you around all day, it’s like, ‘Ugh, kids!’ Maybe that will change when I get older.

Children listen, I’m trying to tell you something good, don’t get caught up in the hood.

The day my children move out is years I can count on two hands I have them half this time years I count on one.

I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I do see myself settling down, getting married and having kids. But when I think about a family life in the future there’s rarely a man involved which is kind of weird.

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.
