It's always easier if you have the support of your family if you're not alone. I came from a country that has been through a lot of troubles in the last 20 to 30 years but we have been through them together.

For so long as the Jew has even one ally he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will through no choice be compelled to turn to G-d.

I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.

One of the places where we lived when I was growing up had this big wood out the back. And starting when I was about 8 I used to enjoy just walking alone through the wood late. Eleven p.m. Midnight. Later.

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

For me growing up the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door through my dad.

Getting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to.

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone with the knowledge that only God is watching him and play his ball where it lies is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
