Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries dating and religion.

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.

There was nothing more important I could do than be supportive as a dad.

We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.

If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest I would've said 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.

I think there's nothing better than laughing in life so that's nice to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine.

My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I'm a people person like my mom but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. He's my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me.

There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like 'Just let them run it then. Don't you give them ammunition.'

Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope.

I'm not a fighter but I would love to be a boxer because I love the courage and toughness. I mean there can be nothing more terrifying than walking into an arena and looking at Mike Tyson in the ring.
