1. MY WIFE

"She's saved my life in a lot of different ways. She's loved me through times when I didn't love me. She's tolerated me. She's been tough on me when I needed somebody to be tough on me; she's been easy on me at the right times."

2. MY DAUGHTERS

"All three of them, they're so different, but each of them has such a unique gift to make you happy."

3. MUSIC

"Everything good that has come out of my life has happened because of music. It gave me a profession. It gave me confidence: It turned sort of a scared kid into a confident guy who felt like he could do something. It got me my wife. It's been my train."

4. FOOTBALL

"Pro, high school, college, all of it, I watch them all, and I switch channels all the time—my wife can't stand it."

5. THE OCEAN

"The power and the peacefulness, specifically of our ocean, 'our beach,' as the girls call it, where our house is in the Bahamas. That's our favorite place in the world to be. When we get off the airplane down there, everything relaxes. We relax."

6. CHILI DOGS

"A blessing from God—but no beans in the chili. I have stood in line at Pink's in L.A., but we started a trick: Now I tell someone to go to the front of the line and offer to buy that person's hot dogs. It pisses off everybody behind them, but it works almost every time."
