But my dad also was a remarkable man, a good person, a principled individual, a man of integrity.

My father was a tomato farmer. There is the phrase that says he or she worked their fingers to the bone, well, that's my dad. And he was a very good man.

To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

If I'm remembered for having done a few good things, and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.

I am not a hugely religious person, but I believe that there is a oneness with everything. And because there is this oneness, it is possible that my mother is the principal reason for my life.
