Experience is something you get when you don't really want it.

Baseball is the only sport I know that when you're on offense, the other team controls the ball.

In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base.

I don’t think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we should live in mobility. We should always be moving.
