Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

The actor creates with his own flesh and blood all those things which all the arts try in some way to describe.

The American dream is not about how much money you make or how many buildings have your name on it.

As an actor, you get hired to repeat yourself. It wears you out.

Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
