I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'
If you want to call me names, make jokes and doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is I can take it.
I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids.
I never went after fame. It fell into my lap.
I had been carpooling kids for 33 years.
Honestly, since the Diane Sawyer piece, every day it's like, it's exciting to go to the mailbox... Because I get letters every day from all of these people from all over the world.
In the fifth grade I discovered something I could do better than the other kids. One day, the teacher set up a bunch of chairs, and she had everyone run to the chairs and back while she timed us. I had the fastest time in the whole school!
Gamble, cheat, lie, and steal. Let me explain: Gamble for your best shot in life - dare to take risks. Cheat those who would have you be less than you are. Lie in the arms of those you love. And finally, steal every moment of happiness.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.
There is kind of an underground conservative movement in Hollywood, really.
Fortunately, I have been very healthy all my life and very active all my life and have enjoyed an active lifestyle.
My mom is, for 89 years old, is extraordinarily open-minded.
My wife Kris and I enjoy keeping an active lifestyle, so it's hard to imagine what it would be like if breathing problems kept me from participating in the activities I love to do. But that's exactly what happens to many people who develop COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Living by myself out in Malibu has been really good. I kind of have my freedom; I've got a whole house to myself. The tough part comes when sometimes, you know, you get pretty lonely.
