The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.

I make one pledge above all others - to seek and speak the truth with all the resources of mind and spirit I command.

I'm not pretty. The truth is I didn't think I could be a model at all. I was looking at some of the guys on the walls at Irene Marie and I thought to myself 'Jesus Christ. I can't do this. I don't look anything like these guys'.

Also, I used to think that one day I might get someone to iron my shirts, but the truth is I really like doing them myself.

Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.

The only thing I can do is tell the truth as I see it and let the chips fall where they may.

The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.

I'd like to say I'm R&B's savior. Whether that's the truth or not, I'm definitely going out there with my mic and my shield to declare, 'I am here to save R&B.' I will have the people saying, 'Sir, there is a man at the musical gates saying he is here to save R&B.'

Remember the sufferings of Christ, the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort, no one ever wins the crown.

Truth is always exciting. Speak it, then life is dull without it.
