Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports." "Parents don’t understand kids and kids don’t understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad." "From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you’re in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly."

What is true is true and will never change, whether it’s in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It’s about oneness."― Hugh Jackman "Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong."― Ice T "You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler."― Denis Waitley
