My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash so when that happened... well I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.

While I have felt lonely many times in my life the oddest feeling of all was after my mother Lucille died. My father had already died but I always had some attachment to our big family while she was alive. It seems strange to say now that I felt so lonely yet I did.

My family you know are all still you know very close. We're all still very close. Mom and Daddy are still alive. So what more can you ask for? Your kids are healthy.

I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing but I'm there trying to do it.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

Not truth but faith it is that keeps the world alive.

The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover it is kept alive by hope and fear by childish faith and by cowardice.

When something is new to us we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
