A sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.

I have enormous respect for people who do run for office.

One of the first coaches I worked with on the national team told me that I was too skinny, too puny, and had no natural acceleration. He said I'd be better off looking for another facet of sport to follow. That was a really, really bad moment. For a long time, I felt as if my dad was the only one who had faith in me.

Half a loaf is better than no bread

You can't show up at the bedside and then turn on your skills. You have to keep your game sharp all the time.

Just to eat is a gift.

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.

My kids have played soccer and baseball and basketball, and the parents who come to games are always saying and doing things that are just wildly inappropriate.

I'm kind of a big kettle. It takes time to get boiled, but then I'm always hot.

It's always important to stay in contact with the fans, because ultimately, if they weren't there, I wouldn't be here. It's very, very important to spread the love.

Sometimes I just sit in front of the computer dreaming. I have food in front of me but no appetite to eat it. All because my heart misses you and my mind is dreaming about you.

I have never been particularly picky when it comes to what I'm putting in my hair. Most of it is just the genes I'm so fortunate to have inherited from my parents.
