I don't think anybody ever really just retires where they don't do anything.

My short game's not that good. It just becomes a matter of getting that weight moving.

We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything.

We saw very little of the real Jack Buck behind the microphone. He would touch people in ways that we will never know. Jack was much more than just an announcer.

I don't know how many people have ever seen the National Guard break in somewhere, but they mean business.

I didn't know how much I cared about having a woman on the court until the day there was a woman on the court.

I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.

Everyone leaves a legacy, whether they want to or not. The question is, "What kind of legacy will you leave?"

It is fantastic to be found in a foreign country.

I like the things around me to be beautiful and slightly dreamy, with a feeling of worldliness.

Before you criticize someone you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

I mean, there are things in the book you could never do in a movie.

I'd like to do things to make money to save myself but right now I can't do nothing. If they want to put me in jail, they can do that. It's kind of tough.

The whole thing was an actor's dream - getting a character that tickles you so much you can't wait to act as him.

I like to be as free as possible at all times.

Whenever I was upset by something in the papers, Jack always told me to be more tolerant, like a horse flicking away flies in the summer.

We've had Audrey Hepburn, we've had Twiggy, we've had Veruschka, we've had Kate Moss. I'm trying to figure out why I am to blame for skinniness.

My private measure of success is daily. If this were to be the last day of my life would I be content with it? To live in a harmonious balance of commitments and pleasures is what I strive for.

You can't just tell actors, especially young ones, to 'act happy' and expect them to do it. They must in some essential way be happy.

My greatest political asset, which professional politicians fear, is my mouth, out of which come all kinds of things one shouldn't always discuss for reasons of political expediency.

I wanted to be a novelist from a very early age - 11 or 12 - but I don't think I ever thought I would write historical fiction. I never thought I might write academic history because I simply wasn't good enough!

Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.

What you do to others will bear fruit in you.

No one's gonna give a damn in July if you lost a game in March.

Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.

When I was 35, all of a sudden I thought maybe it'd be nice to knit a sweater.

I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don't like free weights, because I build muscle easily.
