Death is not the biggest fear we have our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Prohibit the taking of omens and do away with superstitious doubts. Then until death itself comes no calamity need be feared.

Dependency is death to initiative to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.

To me I'm just a regular person going to the mall with friends and now I'm in Forever 21 and I see this random group of girls staring at me and taking pictures. But now I usually have my dad who is a really tall and intimidating person with me so he's kind of my bodyguard.

I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna Australia. When they got home I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.

My dad still calls me and makes sure I'm taking my vitamins.

I finished high school moved to Nashville for college and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

Playing music has always felt very natural. You know you do try to do other things and you do learn lessons that way but eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber you become a plumber. It's the family business and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

My memories are of my dad taking me to football on Saturday mornings and my mum taking me swimming. Those are the things I remember from my childhood not sitting around the table debating capitalism and the profit squeeze.

I think 'Family Guy' and 'American Dad' have definitely staked out their own style and territory and now the accusations are coming that 'The Simpsons' is taking jokes from 'Family Guy.' And I can tell you that ain't the case.

What is a normal childhood? We weren't rich we were pretty middle-class. My dad survived from job to job with him taking care of so many relatives he couldn't save any money.

Feels good to try but playing a father I'm getting a little older. I see now that I'm taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

Babies don't need fathers but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.

My talent is such that no undertaking however vast in size... has ever surpassed my courage.

A life lesson for me is how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks it's not the end of the world. It's cool it's fun it's exciting.

My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV.

I'm taking a lot of my favorite artists different people my favorite music and marrying that with what I do as a comic. It's very collaborative arty fun and cool.

I haven't took no punishment. There's nothing cool about taking punishment.

So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.

I'm looking to evolve the concept of the new renaissance artist taking the world by storm through the art of public display and demonstration with technical savvy using cell phones and computers.
