I Wouldn't Go Back On My Old Days, Though; Everybody Needs To Have Their Wild Years. It's Just A Question Of When And I'd Rather Have Had Them Early Than Be Doing It As A Mid-life Crisis Type Thing.

We Knew We Were Doing Something That Would Make An Impact, Because Of Francis [ford Coppola], But I Don't Think We Were Surprised By How Well The Movie [the Outsiders] Did, But I Think We Would All Say We Were Surprised At How Well We All Did Coming Out Of It.

Adventure Is Important In Life. Making Memories Matters. It Doesn’t Have To Be A Secret Sea Plane And An Historic Sports Moment. But To Have A Great Life, You Need Great Memories. Grab Any Intriguing Offer. Say Yes To A Challenge, And To The Unknown. Be Creative In Adding Drama And Scope To Your Own Life. Work At It, Like A Job. Money From Effort Comes And Goes. But Effort From Imagination And Following Adventure Creates Stories That You Keep Forever. And Anyone Can Do It.

People Have A Responsibility, Especially With Today's Media, To Read Between The Lines.
