I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.

If I hold back I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes than holding back all the time.

The last time I saw him he was walking down lover's lane holding his own hand.

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand but in playing a poor hand well.

That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was holding us together.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.

I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
