• [Hay] un chiste que he hecho siempre: 'Hoy en día dicen que la mayoría de la gente será latina y tú contarás historias de miedo a tus nietos: "Hace mucho tiempo, cuando yo era pequeño, solía haber gente que era blanca", y el niño dice: "¿En serio?", y tú dices: "Sí, como el hombre que nos corta el césped"'. Tengo esa frase desde siempre y me encanta.

• I'm really passionate about the song Sky Spills Over. It was fun creating it in the studio and I've been overwhelmed at the response it gets when we perform it live every night. My son Ryan is a really talented filmmaker so I always enjoy working with him on a project. But what made this project even more special was that 3 of my own grandkids were in the video. This video was a lot of fun to make. I hope people enjoy it!

• ...because I'm sure that as soon as things really get back to "normal," once our kids or grandkids grow up in a peaceful and comfortable world, they'll probably go right back to being as selfish and narrow-minded and generally shitty to one another as we were.

• Vi que los ojos de papá se abrían un poco al oír mi voz. Me miró, pero rápidamente se dio la vuelta. No quería que viera su reacción, pero la vi y nunca la olvidaré. En ese breve vistazo, pude ver lo que estaba pensando detrás de esa mirada fija. No habría nietos, no habría más sangre de la familia Creed, nada más que esperar. A partir de ese momento, me había convertido en la última y más devastadora decepción de lo que él creía que había sido su vida: un fracaso abrumador.

• Nevertheless, if you ask me, most people have children just as their own enthusiasm about life begins to wane. A child allows us to revisit the excitement we once felt about, well... everything. A generation later, our grandkids bump up our enthusiasm yet again. Reproducing is a kind of booster shot to keep us loving life.

• The success that comes from my books is not something I feel very comfortable with. Past a certain point you have to accept the idea that the success is a lot to do with the timing and luck and that divorces you from it massively. There are aspects of it that I haven't got used to at all. But I've enjoyed some parts of it massively. It relates to the same reason I did a lot of backpacking — partly for the experience — it's something to tell my grandkids. It's a weird chain of events to have in your life.

• When I was ambushed by global warming advocates recently - no, they haven't given up - they asked me the same questions they always ask: "What if you're wrong?" and "If you're wrong will you apologize to future generations?" I always answer, "What if you're wrong? Will you apologize to my twenty kids and grandkids for the largest tax increase in American history?" They usually don't have anything to say after that.

• ¿Hasta dónde llegarías por alguien a quien quieres? Bueno, cuando mis nietos me pregunten cómo prometí mi amor a su abuela, les diré que le dije que moriría por ella, después de descubrir que no tenía una enfermedad incurable. Luego, me escapé mientras a la abuela le pateaba el culo una mujer embarazada con la que se acostaba el abuelo. Nunca sabes cuando estás haciendo un recuerdo.
