I didn't want my epitaph to read 'Here lies John Caudwell, billionaire.' I knew that wasn't enough. I've had a charitable instinct all my life, but working gave me no time for it.
I'm a student of patterns. At heart, I'm a physicist. I look at everything in my life as trying to find the single equation, the theory of everything.
I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything.
Soon after, I returned home to my family, with a determination to bring them as soon as possible to live in Kentucky, which I esteemed a second paradise, at the risk of my life and fortune.
I'm eternally grateful to the penal system in California for saving my life.
We've become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that's been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I've ever seen in my life.
I've been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness.
I always felt that I had a mission in life. I thought I was born to play sports. Even now, I still feel that must have been my mission because I came through so many close calls where my life could very easily have been ended.
My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade.
Which is a wonderful irony, I have property there. I go back every chance I get. One of the main reasons I actually wrote the book, agreed to write it having never wanted to do that in my life, very intimidating by the way to write a book.
I love to eat, and if I could, I'd eat every second of my life.
Going through all of this physical stuff, it's been a tough job. But I've loved every second of my life.
If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.
I'm really strict with my skincare regimen. No matter what's happening in my life, I wash my face every single night and I moisturize - even if it's 4 A.M.
Every single thing in my life is built around race.
I have been taking every step toward the future every day through making many paintings and sculptures with my deep emotion hidden in my life.
The most important thing a pastor does is stand in a pulpit every Sunday and say, 'Let us worship God.' If that ceases to be the primary thing I do in terms of my energy, my imagination, and the way I structure my life, then I no longer function as a pastor.
I really don't have any weaknesses. I do have areas of my life that I am working on to grow, heal and evolve. Giving myself permission to rest is an area I am working on. Not rescuing my children and grandchildren is another area.
All my life there's always been an ex-wife or a girlfriend.
