I think all great innovations are built on rejections.

A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.

I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze.

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.

What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.

True strength is delicate.

Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination.

Wrestling is realer than reality TV.

A couple years ago I was going to back off and actually thought about retiring, but it keeps calling me back, and I'm going to keep going back as long as it calls me.

But I want to just caution, it is not incumbent on the United States to prove that Saddam Hussein is trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. He's already demonstrated that he's trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement.

My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.

Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.

I was dressed like Darth Vader. Vader was my man, even with the villainy. He wore all black and had a deep voice; he reminded me of my uncle. I had a cheap mask-cape combo, the kind available at any pharmacy during October.

You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.

To this wonderful page in our country's history another more glorious still will be added, and the slave shall show at last to his free brothers a sharpened sword forged from the links of his fetters.

We need to renegotiate our contract with nature. Ecology is a unifying force that can diminish intolerance and expand our empathy towards others both human and animal.

I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.

Life is like a very short visit to a toy shop between birth and death.

People stayed with me and worked extra hard for me because I could see the potential in them - I'm not so sure they could see the potential in me.
