Personally I support 14,000 kids in Zambia - I feed and clothe them - but I don't hold press conferences about it. I don't do it so you'll think what a nice person I am; it's private.
Well that's not a good idea, but that was close to reality, because my kids' real mom, Shannon Tweed ... was a former Playmate, ... It's tough for a very young child to explain to the other school kids 'yeah, mom was on the cover of Playboy and dad's this wacky rock star who has a talking codpiece and spits fire.'
The best you can do is set your kids on the right track; staying on it without falling is up to the kids.
That's why I'm a big supporter of the death penalty. I want to be the hangman. I would put many more people to death like the kids who want to kill other people, I'd put 'em to death. Postal workers who get arrested, they have mental problems. You know what? When you're dead you don't have a mental problem. If you take a life, I will take yours. Put me in charge, I will fix it.
Elvis is the king of rock and roll, who made white kids shake there shackle.
It's very professionally done, very clever songwriting. I like Backstreet Boys more than 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, it's all very well done stuff. Much better than the Partridge Family and New Kids On The Block. I took my kids to see Backstreet Boys live and they flipped out
Never negotiate with kids. They don't have life experience, and they don't have repercussions for bad decisions; they still get fed and housed.
The only jobs kids have are to do well in school, to be charming and polite, and be thankful. That's it. I'll house you, protect you, I'll even give my life for you, and in return, you will behave.
We recognized right off the bat that he was a good athlete. From that point on we were looking at how he could best fit into the system.
When you look at Clark Kent when he's working at the Daily Planet, ... he's a reporter. He doesn't fly through the air in his glasses and his suit.
The notion is that if you want to welcome me with open arms, I'm afraid you're also going to have to welcome me with open legs.
The venue has to know what it's buying.
It's a personal statement that's a sort of personal allegiance to the United States of Indy.
If someone likes you, they'll buy what you're selling, whether or not they need it.
