If life isn't about humanity, then tell me what it's about, because I'd love to know.

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.

Elf Envy...they all had it.

When I'm not working, I prefer to sit and do nothing. The simple things suddenly become more enjoyable.

I'm rather accident-prone, I have to admit. I've broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times.

I'd like to grow old gracefully or pain free at least.
