There was a perception of me and I earned it because I was really intense really gruff. I treated certain people poorly at times. It was because of who I was. It was almost my strength. I came in all business. I tried to find ways to fit in with that demeanor but it's not easy.

I have always been an outstanding football player I have always had uncanny abilities great arm strength an immense ability to play the game from a quarterback standpoint. The problem was that I wasn't given the liberty to do certain things when I was young.

I certainly did feel inferior. Because of class. Because of strength. Because of height. I guess if I'd been able to hit somebody in the nose I wouldn't have been a comic.

I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.

I also work out because I have scoliosis. I have to maintain certain strength in my core.

I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is... I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances... but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying.

The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills only half of the equation. The other half is theirs. An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result.

Our role in Israel is a pioneering one and we need people with certain strength of fiber.

What is being talked about now is the probability of the Sharon government launching an attack against Lebanon to eliminate the resistance of Hezbollah by using the American war against Iraq. But of course in this case we will certainly fight with all our strength.

We are still keeping as much as we can to the one million commitment that we made hoping that at a certain point in time the headwinds represented by the strength of the yen will be a little bit less strong.
