From me growing up with a large family and everybody singing around the Christmas tree, it was a wonderful, wonderful upbringing.

Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends.

La Marseillaise' sounds best ringing around a packed sports stadium. Its lyrics evoke revolution, conflict, taking up arms, preparing for the fight - everything my music does not! Even in our largely peaceful times, it retains its rousing, martial air that gives it a power that hasn't diminished.

I know I haven't spent a lot of time with my children because my job takes me all over the world and takes me away from my children, but I've given them a good education and security. If anything happens to me, my children's future is well-secured. So I think I've done well as a father.

Even in the case of a god, audiences - paradoxically - enjoy recognizing the human traits.

I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.

If you have a group of people come together around a vision for real discipleship, people who are committed to grow, committed to change, committed to learn, then a spiritual assessment tool can work.

Remember that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord.
