Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.

I am not a famous person at home - I'm just a guy here. I'm a father, I'm a companion, I'm a human being. I am not a public figure in my house; I am not a celebrity. I am not a famous person to myself - I am just a guy.

The funnel of deep feeling and profound satisfaction in life comes from the capacity to feel.

All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.
