Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream the farther you get.

If anything needs to get fixed in society it's people's consumption of other people's problems.

So if we have anything original to offer it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society you can't just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it's much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers.

American society is a sort of flat fresh-water pond which absorbs silently without reaction anything which is thrown into it.

The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.
