I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.

Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.

I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.

The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story whether in print orating writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers.

A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.

Traditionally scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given ' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far I think it's respect and quality and company not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

Hobbies of any kind are boring except to people who have the same hobby. This is also true of religion although you will not find me saying so in print.

I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.
