Whatever you are, be a good one.

I believe in a business boarding up early. If you make a mistake, you put the boards in the window of the store and say, "Hey, I made a mistake." Let me take two shots in the arm and a punch on the nose and let me get on to the next thing. I don't believe in worrying over failures. I worry about successes. This is opposite from most people. Most people zero in on their failures. I try to keep all my attention on a pyramid type philosophy rather than the averaging-down philosophy.

I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice.

We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody's civil rights to say whatever he pleases.
