The moment you grab someone by the lapels, you're lost.

Marriage is about the most expensive way for the average man to get laundry done.

I can sing as well as Fred Astaire can act.

You can only hold your stomach in for so many years.

My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.

I've always gotten along well with Texans. You've got to.

Jay Leno is wonderful and a good friend, but it will always be the Carson show to a lot of people.

The moment you grab someone by the lapels, you're lost.

Florida is a very healing place.

In football you can make it if you've got the 'I'm-going-to-get-up-off-the-ground-and-kick-your-ass' attitude.

As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

Even a song on the radio that completely lacks substance is there for a reason. Sometimes, people need a break from cold reality; the song that you really don't have to put that much thought power into can be just as entertaining as something that might take you on a three- or four-minute cruise through the depth of reality.

I run like an electric golf cart. Now I look at eating as a way to feed my body and keep me younger. Its not about starving your body but treating your body like a Ferrari. You dont put in the crappiest gas you can find. You use supreme. In the long term youll run clean.

Most restaurants in most cities, including Washington, are at a sort of mid-level. They're somewhat trendy, or they have some sort of gimmick, or they're somewhat expensive. And they make a lot of money off drinks. I tell people don't go to most of them, unless your goal is just to socialize.

Pakistanis can't trust. They've seen in history that people, particularly politicians, are corrupt. And they're misguided by people in the name of Islam. They're told: 'Malala is not a Muslim, she's not in purdah, she's working for America.'

I'm all about building a relationship with viewers and getting to know them.

Of course there is really vile anti-Semitism in Wagner's writings, but I can't accept the idea that characters like Beckmesser and Alberich are Jewish stereotypes in disguise. Would Beckmesser be a court councillor if he was meant to be a Jewish stereotype? No Jew could occupy such a role.

Rejoice as summer should...chase away sorrows by living.

Sometimes fitness is a good thing to have, but you have to recognise that fitness takes you only so far, and skills are the most important thing. Fitness just helps you execute those cricketing skills for longer and more consistently, maybe.

I believe in Buddhism. Not every aspect, but most of it. So I take bits and pieces.

It angers me that a timed, planned and paid smearing campaign is run against me in the press.

Geography is the art of the mappable.

'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry.

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.

I always felt that I had a mission in life. I thought I was born to play sports. Even now, I still feel that must have been my mission because I came through so many close calls where my life could very easily have been ended.

I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology.

I'm just someone who marvels at God.

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.

One can say with reasonable confidence that the likelihood of something analogous to a human evolving is really pretty high.

It's important to ensure that the person who replaces Tim Scott be a reliable conservative, a proven fighter and a leader who will join our mission to cut wasteful Washington spending. I'm convinced the best person for the job is Larry Grooms.

Winning the Olympics was an amazing feeling, but afterwards, it was a bit like, 'What do I do now?' So I lost a bit of motivation going back into training and competitions; I had so much pressure on me. I kept thinking, 'I'm the Olympic champion. I can't lose' - being only 19 and having to deal with all that pressure.

Follow lifes bliss.

Guinea pigs are quite difficult to draw, I think, because they're so furry.
