“Well, I don't ever get excited. I haven't been excited since I got a Chopper bicycle when I was about 12. Once you get older you realise there's always a catch to everything.

“I love what I do and I'm super confident in it, but I also think of myself as humble in it.

It feels so good to me that it doesn't really matter what it means to other people because that's more about them than me. I'm in a really great place with it.”

“Jenny, all my life I have wanted to do miracles. I have wanted to be holy. I suppose it was ambition or pride or some other unworthy thing. It was not enough for me to conquer the world--I wanted to conquer heaven too.”
“Do it or don't. It's amazing how many things in life are that easy.”
