- You don't have to be good at something in order to get started. You just have to get started in order to be good at it.
- I believe that Friedrich Nietzsche had a superb point when he said, "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." I'm the first person to agree with you that a nemesis really is a teacher in disguise, that conflicts are actually opportunities for proving yourself. Most adversity in fact presents chances for unlocking passion, love, inner strength, and personal freedom. Just don't be the guy who had one kung-fu lesson and then strolled into a barroom full of Hell's Angels to test it out.
- My sisters - particularly Julianne - and I never fight among ourselves, if we can avoid it. We just have too much admiration, respect, and fondness for each other. If Jules and I can't agree on how to do something together, unless we can try it both ways, we'll play "dueling shoes" - like in DELIVERANCE, only with dancing instead of banjos - and whoever breaks the rhythm gives in.
