I really wasn't into comic books growing up.

You don't win NASCAR races without ability.

When I was a child, I had it in my head to play in the Champions League and win it.

Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship. Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and Team USA, led teams to each of these honors... within about 24 months.

A window of opportunity for me usually involves a rock.

If a rock band throws a TV set out of a hotel window, it's seen as anti-Establishment.

Johnny Winter doesn't know the word 'subtlety.' But it works, it works.

If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.

Half of the days in 2014, I had to confine my daughter to my home like a prisoner because the air quality in Beijing was so poor. One morning, I saw my daughter banging on the window... The day will come when she asks me, 'Why do you keep me here? What is going to hurt me when I go outside?'

So many of the bands that influenced me growing up were English, even if I didn't realise it. English pop ruled the world in the '80s!

Sequoia seeds have flat wings, and glint and glance in their flight like a boy's kite.

It's the duty of the federations to make sure that the funds reach the athletes properly. They need to make sure that the athletes get proper facilities so that they can win the medals for the country.

I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.

I drank more wine when I wasn't working as much, to be honest.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.

It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race.

My main focus is, 'What can I do today to help the team win the ballgame?' You have those blinders on. It helps you focus.

I haven't pursued it as a senator because I know it's like spitting in the wind. But I still believe it's the right thing. And if I were governor and a bill came to my desk that provided for background checks at gun shows, I would sign that.

You know, you want to win and you want a ring. But when you win and you get the ring, you never really wear it.
