The fuel for the sports fan is the ability to have private theories.
I want a big 25-foot pink statue that holds my grave. Or I also might like the way the Indians did it. They hang you up on the top of a tree and the birds eat you. No, really I would probably choose cremating.
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
I have mainly been interested in acting. I think it's a great job, a fine way to live your life.
I would never want to vilify somebody who considered abortion murder. I was an illegitimate child myself. I may not have existed today.
There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
It's very easy to go down, so always live up. Incline yourself upward.
For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
I'm such a perfectionist. I always feel overpraised or whatever. In the abstract, I know I'm a good person, a good professional. But it's nice to be noticed a little bit, ain't it?
I don't play golf competitively. I tell everybody that I cheat so they won't gamble with me. That's why you can't watch football. Everybody's gambling. They don't want to watch the game; they watch the spread.
Women are sort of like motorcycle gangs with me. They get really shy and polite. I don't know why.
I've always thought basketball was the best sport, although it wasn't the sport I was best at. It was just the most fun to watch.
I'm the age where we didn't have television as kids. So when I saw my nieces and nephews watching Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and so forth, I thought the world had gone mad.
