I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.

Life is great, football is better.

Life is good. Football is better.

My father always used to say ‘treat everyone as a gentleman; not because they are, but because you are.’

But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life cannot be better than the one I've lived down here, the football life. It's been perfect.

To me, football is very personal. Even as a kid, I looked at football in dramaturgical terms. It wasn't the score that interested me, it was the struggle.

I've always believed in making films that you make the little decisions with your head, but you make the big decisions with your heart.

Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.

To grow old is to lose everything.

We all pretend to be very strong, and then in a fraction, you can just break down, at least for me.

For God will deign to visit oft the dwellings of just men -- delighted, and with frequent intercourse -- thither will send his winged messengers on errants of supernal grace.

Politics is about a lot more than winning and losing. I think politics at its best is about compromise, shades of grey and about issues.

The past is history written in stone that can't be altered. The future is transitory and never guaranteed. Today is the only thing you can alter for certain. Make the most of it.

The United States needed a civil war to unite properly.

Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.
