Gleason used to rack balls for me when he was a kid in Brooklyn and in Long Island.

No one on this Earth knows how old I am.

Paul Newman is not a very good pool player.

The women all want to dance. I dance all night every night.

I'm known clean around the Earth.

Cities get built out of poets dreams.

I played golf competitively as a teenager. I actually took a year off after high school and just played golf and went to a university in France for maybe a month and dropped out.

Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don't lose the passion and the love for what you do.

I think life is a chain of events.

I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.

When a dish really hits a nerve with the American palate, it can really take off across the entire country, facilitated by food vendors' freedom to copy good ideas.

I am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.

My interest in art must have started with my Catholic upbringing. Art was everywhere: churches with its paintings, sculptures, stained glass, textiles, and fine metalwork.

I will continue to be intelligent, I vowed, no matter how beautiful I become.

I am convinced that music, like philanthropy, bridges hope.

Of course love is never earned. It is a grace we give one another. Anything we need to earn is only approval.

People find meaning and redemption in the most unusual human connections.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

I'm not a comedian. And I'm not sick. The world is sick, and I'm the doctor. I'm a surgeon with a scalpel for false values.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

Capital isn't this pile of money sitting somewhere; it's an accounting construct.

I'm a voracious reader, and I like to explore all sorts of writing without prejudice and without paying any attention to labels, conventions or silly critical fads.

God's desire is that we excel.
