The impossible is not quite impossible if you put your mind to it.

I have never in my life walked with a harness. The weight of the tether, makes it feel like I'm dragging an anchor behind me.

Every walk that I do, there's obstacles in the way. There's always somebody or something that comes across negative, but I live for that sort of thing.

My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
