Though I'd have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.

The two championship years were that significant for me.

If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work.

To some degree. I know I couldn't do it anymore.

The important thing is to get the right players on the team so Mike can be successful.

I think the Pistons have such a well rounded team, which is why they're so successful. All you have to do is look at the stats defensively and at their rebounding and scoring.

I've had too lengthy a career and coached too many players to make a choice.

I do some broadcasting and speaking as well.

There's nothing like being involved with a team that can go that distance.

Defense cant guard two things in a row.

Defense doesnt break down on the help it breaks down on the recovery.

Its discouraging to make a mistake but its humiliating when you find out youre so unimportant that nobody noticed it.

Get up from that piano. You hurtin' its feelings.

I was on stage with Cyndi Lauper, and my trousers split. It seemed like she was going to sing for ever.

It was a great experience for me - the ups and downs - because I became a man in Philadelphia.

At Disneyland, you never go 'backstage' - even when you're in the bathroom.

Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep a bath and a glass of wine.

The biggest compliment to me is that guys really approach me and they have a connection with me, so there must be something I'm doing that is authentic, otherwise they wouldn't connect with me so strongly. It's a real compliment.

I will always vote what I have promised, and always vote the Constitution, as well as I will not vote for one single penny that isn't paid for, because debt is the monster, debt is what's going to eat us up and that is why our economy is on the brink.

I'm looking to do an action film where I can run with my shirt off and a gun in my hand; and do like a 'Taken' role and get up on one knee and kill the bad guy.

I never could read science fiction. I was just uninterested in it. And you know, I don't like to read novels where the hero just goes beyond what I think could exist. And it doesn't interest me because I'm not learning anything about something I'll actually have to deal with.

I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for.

It seems thus possible to give a preliminary definition of walking as a space of enunciation.

The truest poetry is the most feigning.

It's too distracting to read about yourself. You want to be perfect and you want everyone to love you, and that's never going to happen.

I feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually.

Anguish of suspense made men even desire the arrival of enemies.

A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words... the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt.

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.

I think it's really important for my daughter to see her parents being physically fit and for that to be a part of her life. The examples we set for her will stay with her the rest of her life.

One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then.

Liberman said to me, 'I must cut back on the work you do for Vogue. The editors don't like it. They say the photographs burn on the page . After some years, I began to understand that what they wanted of me was simply a nice, sweet, clean-looking image of a lovely young woman.

The right of liberty is God-given and immortal. It cannot be regulated. Or controlled. It cannot be banned. And it must not be restricted.

That's what I think we're all looking for - an honest love wherever you can find it.

When I was offered 'Hawkeye,' it was very intimidating at first because that book is so loved and so successful, commercially and critically. The worst thing you could do is try to imitate what they did because, in the end, you're just going to get a watered-down version of what they did.
