When I was in college, my parents' house burned down, and took a lot of the possessions I'd grown up with. That's probably one thing that made me realize material stuff is not really that important.

The most important thing in my life is to live my life and enjoy it - to do what I think is right and what I think is good.

Somehow I got the feeling at an early age that I had to do something important with my life.

One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.

I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.

The two most important things in my life were academics and sports. I had to do my schoolwork first.

The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.

You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.

I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love, health and happiness. I say that, and I believe that, and I try to live that.

I think the most important thing in life is your health. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.
