I'm not really concerned about boundaries. I just follow my conscience and my heart. Follow your heart. That's what I do. Compassion is something I have a lot of, because I've been through a lot of pain in my life. Anybody who has suffered a lot of pain has a lot of compassion.

My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.

Stop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love.

They're powerful, those songs. At times they've been my only way back, the only door out of the dark, bad places the black dog calls home.

You know, the man's best friend is his dog... if he's got nothing else.

The hardest thing for me in Vietnam wasn't seeing the wounded and dead. It was watching the big transport jets come in, bringing loads of fresh new boys for the war.

He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.
