The importance of an artist is bringing new signs into a language.

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.

It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood.

The calamity that comes is never the one we had prepared ourselves for.

The great trouble with most men is that those who have been educated become uneducated just as soon as they stop inquiring and investigating life and its problems for themselves.

That's something lacking in a lot of modern-day families - just talking. It's almost a lost art form.

The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant, only once!
