My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

Life is good when we think it's good. Life is bad when we don't think.

If you don't take the chance to live life, what can you say at the end of it?

In the end, I want to be able to say, 'My life was what I made it.'

I basically have a very positive philosophy of life, because I don't feel I have anything to lose. Most things are going to turn out okay.

A philosophical problem has the form: I don't know my way about.

One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side, and know that my present is not going to be everything. So if I'm having a bad day, she goes, 'Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.'

Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it.

Someone told me something that stuck with me: 'You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.' I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.
