When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.

I've had an angel on my shoulder all my life.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.

If life is just a stage, then we are all running around ad-libbing, with absolutely no clue what the plot is. Maybe that's why we don't know whether it's a comedy or tragedy.

You have to wonder how they got it up there. But, this is what life is all about. History, which he was such a major part of. Not just being raised in Somerset, but being a famous general during the Civil War. I guess every small town wants to be connected to history through a famous person and he's who we connect with.
