You know when you're young and you see a play in high school and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.

Men do not fail they give up trying.

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

The activists will not stop in trying to impose their extreme views on the rest of us and they have now plotted out a state-by-state strategy to increase the number of judicial decisions redefining marriage without the voice of the people being heard.

They make Spy Kids they make Scream they make A Scary Movie. This doesn't do that so it could be a very bad marriage. I'm trying to keep this potential nightmare quiet because we're just finishing editing.

It's very trying on a marriage when you're doing a one hour show week after week after week. You don't have enough time for people that maybe you should have top priority.

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood the best in a marriage the kind of people we are trying to become.

Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It's the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.

I believe in the institution of marriage and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.

The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin.

A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're always looking for somebody to love you be accepted and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration I don't think you can go wrong.

I love Wagner but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.

Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy spending so much time trying to pay the rent all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.

Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be Revelation.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances making decisions and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability you know to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do?

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.
