The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Live each day, as if it we’re your last. It’s written in the stars, your destiny is cast.

The child needs a helping hand or he’ll grow up to be an angry young man some day.

Where could I go but to the Lord?

Love is a thing you never can share.

When I was a child I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times.

I feel so alone sometimes. The night is quiet for me.

Deep down we all have a sense of our own inadequacy about coping with life.
