I like to hit it downhill, that's the way I was taught to run.

I also wanted to play with Peyton Manning because I thought he could teach me a lot, and he did.

If I'm going east and west, nothing's happening.

I never did have a team that I watched in my younger days.

A team is a team.

I like to hit it downhill, that's the way I was taught to run.

As long as I can stay north or south, I'm gaining yards.

That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.

I don't watch that much football... I really like to play it.

Watching Bo Jackson, seeing his size, his speed, a lot of his abilities, really drove me.

I chose Tennessee because I thought they'd give me an opportunity to play.

I really liked watching Bo Jackson run just because of his size and his speed.

As far as a guy like Ray Lewis is concerned, you know he's going to be around the ball all the time.

I hope we can build our offense and go out there and win games.

When your name is out there like that, guys are going to want to see what you're about.

Luckily, I have the good fortune of being on the same team as Ray Lewis. I don't have to face him on Sunday.

I am a responsible parent and have always provided for my children. That fact cannot be disputed. I have made mistakes in my life, but failing to care for my children is not one of them.

War and preparations for war have acquired a kind of legitimacy.

It doesn't matter where it is in the world or who I'm making the movie with; that's the closest thing that I've got to a sense of placement.

I have to be realistic about what I can and can't do. So whatever I do has to really be worth it. I like to master the things I do.

I know just enough Japanese to get by if I get lost and greet an audience properly, just from having a lot of Japanese friends and being there over the years.

I never have been an anarchist, I've always had goals and always have acted out of love.

In politics there are so many holes, so many contradictions, you don't know what's happening.

Just watching TV as a kid, for a long time I thought, as a young kid, obviously when I was, like, 4 or 5, I thought that people lived in the television.

A kingdom man understands that God never said a godly life would be easy; He just said it would be worth it.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.

When you're poor, you know nothing about the future, you know nothing about the world, nothing that goes on outside 300 yards around you.

I think the older that I'm getting, the more I'm understand what a privileged job I have, and what an opportunity I have. Now I'm directing films and I'm getting my first movie in America off the ground, and you start to understand how the system really works.

When you have a kid, it changes your life. It reminds you, this is my life now: I'm responsible for this tiny person. It's so surreal.

Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.

I go out in New York, and I think, boy, you can look at someone and pretty much determine their zip code. Everyone seems to want to conform. I wonder, are they all just button-pressers, on the Internet all day long? I don't know.

Sometimes being a good mother gets in the way of being a good person.

I've just been really lucky to not be too much of a stereotype.

My dad traveled a lot, so I only usually saw him on weekends, growing up. His favorite actors in the world were Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. If Clint or Burt had a movie out, we would go to the movies. He didn't like movies, generally, unless Clint or Burt were in them.

While most trudge through their days straight-jacketed in the social compact, living for others as much as or more than for themselves, a select few excel.

Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.

If Im going to sing like someone else then I dont need to sing at all.

You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think.

Because TV is mostly close up, it has to be fast. And because it has to be fast, you don't have time to explain completely, by a sequence shot, what's happening between people. So instead of experiencing what's happening, say, when a couple is dancing, dialogue is used to explain.

You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think.
