To have that kind of ovation, that happens very seldom for a lineman.

My whole life has been one of seeking experience.

Old #64 chose... a gentle jog, fast enough to prove I was alive, slow enough to savor the cheers. They washed over me. They warmed me. I knew I could live without them but I loved them.

It is something that most parents hope for in life: That their children will be moderately successful, polite, decent human beings. Anything on top of that is something you have no right to hope for, but we all do.

Probably the best part of my life has been watching the kids play their games.

Normally, if you go through a game without attracting attention, you are doing a hell of a job.

In November, 1964 when I was a patient at the Mayo Clinic I though seriously about killing myself.

When the game is over it is really just beginning.

The whole book experience was a look into another world, the world of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.

College was especially sweet because of the positive, hopeful atmosphere of a college campus.

We will pay any price that we are instructed to. But the money has to come from somewhere.

To have that kind of ovation, that happens very seldom for a lineman.

There's a great deal of love for one another on this club. Perhaps we're living in Camelot.

I lived in the Republic of Ireland. I wrote a book about the North but as an outsider. The hatreds there were not mine. I never felt them. I liked how open in most ways Catalan nationalism was, compared to Irish nationalism. I disliked the violence and cruelty in Ireland.

The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.

When the legs go, the heart and the head follow quickly behind.

You may have a broken heart but you may find someone else.

Laurel Canyon is kind of grotesque. It's this nature-themed place, and everybody is kind of angry.

Just because you lost your last game doesn't mean you change anything.

The French fried potato has become an inescapable horror in almost every public eating place in the country. French fries say the menus but they are not French fries any longer. They are a furry textured substance with the taste of plastic wood.

I continued studying by myself in the field of jazz with my own technique of improvisation, walking bass lines, rhythms, all kinds of stuff, which I created for myself.

To the newcomer who has not learned its language, a large city is a chaos of details, a vast Woolworths store of differently colored, simlarly priced objects.

It has been a pleasure being in the same era. I mean, the guy's last name is Bolt, and he's the fastest man ever. You can't write a story like that, and so to be in the pages in there is nice.

The acting training in school was great, but it was mostly fun being young and in New York. Because my upbringing was so transient, New York ended up being my home. I've been living in New York longer than I have anywhere else in my life.

One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.

Juarez had become a failed city. The mayor of Juarez lived in El Paso. Not only did he not live in his own city, he didn't live in his own country. You had all these kids out of school who didn't want to work because they saw their mothers toiling in jobs for hardly any cash.

Very early on, when I started doing these plays and live shows, I would travel from city to city, and there were a million shows out there... so I wanted to step out among it, and I started putting my name above the title.

My parents never got carried away with the extraneous elements of being in the business.

It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.

People say money ain't nothing; money is basically everything.

Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything's going right.

Language has historically stood as a barrier for some voters seeking to participate in the electoral process.

When I came out of service, the first couple of releases didn't really hit so I just took a little hiatus and sat down to see what was happening. I just glued my ears to the radio and then I started writing - the first hit record that came out was 'Everybody Loves a Winner.'

Cotton Owens was leading and daddy was second. They came up on me and I moved over to let them pass. Cotton went on, but daddy bumped me in the rear and my car went right into the wall.

The biggest misconception people have is that quality is all that matters. The truth is that quality helps, but there's a ton of high-quality things that don't go anywhere.

Better safe than sorry
