Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks around '92 and '96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success sold lots of records and played bigger shows I had the least control of my own life.

I've learned it's always better to have a small percentage of a big success than a hundred percent of nothing.

It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.

The only thing I'm addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

They wanted me to play more sports because they were acutely sensitive to their children being one hundred percent American and they believed that all Americans played sports and loved sports.

For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.

Yeah I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent but it does give you more of an edge mentally knowing that you were in the same situation because in sports you always find yourself behind.

Competing in sports has taught me that if I'm not willing to give 120 percent somebody else will.

I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.
