If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.

Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.

You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

Kids come up to me all the time and say, 'Once I was going through a really bad time, and I saw you crash and get up, and it inspired me.'

If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.
