One thing I've found is that if you educate and show people the risk, they will do something about it.

I was just a guy who ran away from home at 16 because my parents were getting a divorce and the judge was making me choose which parent to live with. I didn't want to make that choice. I ended up in New York City.

When people ask me about being portrayed onscreen by Leonardo DiCaprio, I always say, 'I love it - no matter how old I get, people are going to think that's what I look like.'

Everything I have today was because of the love of a woman.

When I look back at my life now, I'm not amazed by what I did at 16 to 21.

Most people are fascinated by what I did as a teenager, but when I look back at my life, I don't think very much about those years. I was an opportunist and got away with things because I was very young, but I went to prison and came out and remade my life.

When I was 28 years old, I thought it would be great to have a movie about my life. I was egotistical and self-centered.

You get to a point in your life where you go, 'I don't remember what I did.'

People say that life is short, but it isn't short. It's very long.

It's amazing to me that we live in such a wonderful country where anyone can have a problem in life and get up, dust themselves off and start all over again.

I was an opportunist and got away with things because I was very young, but I went to prison and came out and remade my life.

Only one thing makes a man a man. He loves his wife, is faithful to her, and puts his wife and kids as the most important things in life.
