In life, you have people that love to party. That's me. People that love God. That's me. People that love sex. That's me. People that love people. That's me. And people that make mistakes. That's me also.

I'm sure a lot of people out there make mistakes.

Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deeply.
