I've been privileged to meet presidents and sing at inaugurations and other political events.

I have never been the type of person who has ever worried about what people think.

You could take away the singing, and I am fine. But don't take away my gift of writing. It is the best way I can relate and express what I am feeling and what I am going through.

I applaud anyone who wants to take on the load that comes with being President of the United States. You really have to love your country to place yourself in that position.

I decided to become a surgeon named Bernie who writes books and gives seminars to teach people what he has learned and is still learning about how to deal with life's difficulties.

Moving to Glasgow from Feyenoord was a life-changing experience.

I love animals; I've always loved animals. It's how I identified myself for so long, but I didn't know that in so many ways, I was living my life not in alignment with that. And once I learned about those ways I could be loving animals better, I made those changes, which made me happier and had me living a life that had me contributing.

The most important lesson I've learned is how rich and rewarding life is when one can engage in meaningful work, whether on the job or outside of work.
