I've learned that many of the worst things lead to the best things, that no great thing is achieved without a couple of bad, bad things on the way to them, and that the bad things that happen to you bring, in some cases, the good things.

That's the irony in the work: the best stories are the worst things that happen. My best times were somebody else's worst.

I was never at my best when I was at my worst. When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.

I've never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a steppingstone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen.

I have led an exceptional life in some ways, yes. I mean, I've been very lucky. I seem to have had a gift for landing in the right place at the right time.

So I had the worst experience at the very beginning, and things have been getting better since.

I'm better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.
