I went to Catholic school in and out. I'm what you call a recovering Catholic. I have many major issues with the church.

I'd crawl over broken glass for Elle MacPherson or Cindy Crawford.

I'm a football guy. Baseball, I enjoy it at playoff time.

I'm not a big disco guy.

My health and my family are the core of my being.

The Rolling Stones set the bar to where I look to as a band. But I don't envision myself touring in the way they do. My knees won't hold out.

There's not a platinum record hanging in my house anywhere. It doesn't exist here. I'm over it. They're all in the garage, wrapped up in bubblewrap.

We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?

You're never going to see the fat Elvis in me. People I admired like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and John Belushi all died at 27. I've got jeans older than that.

I went to a radio station on Long Island in 1982, and thank goodness for me, it was so new that there was no receptionist. So the DJ opened up his booth, and took my tape and listened to it and thought it was a hit song.

New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York, but you were in its shadow. Anyone who's come from here will tell you that same story.

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

You just stay the course, and do what it is that you do, and grow while you're doing it. Eventually it will either come full circle, or at least you'll go to bed at night happy.

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don't, who will?

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.

Women rule the world. It's not really worth fighting because they know what they're doing. Ask Napoleon. Ask Adam. Ask Richard Burton or Richie Sambora. Many a man has crumbled.

Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
