The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

When my marriage broke up... I had just put on 45 pounds for my 'Shall We Dance?' character. I had to eat 10,000 calories a day just to put on weight while training with Tony Dovolani. I basically stayed in bed for a six-month rotation of depression naps. Dance helped me lose the weight.

I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there, take your vows, and be married to them for the rest of your life.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

I admire my father greatly.

First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.

When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

Common sense is not so common.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

He that is jealous is not in love.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.

Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking.

We provide food that customers love, day after day after day. People just want more of it.

Wine is bottled poetry.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
