"I'm not a guru. I'm just a man who's lived a lot. And I try to share what I've learned."

"I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been. Each one an orphan's cry, a mother's silent sin."

"I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to live. I'm not afraid of anything."

"I'm not a judge. I'm a man who's been judged. And I try to be kind to others."

"I'm a storyteller. And I try to tell stories that are real, stories that are honest, stories that are true."
