I hadn't really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.

Learning to play golf is like learning to play the violin. It's not only difficult to do, it's very painful to everyone around you.

I challenge myself everywhere, onstage, on the golf course. Hey, isn't that the point of it all? To keep getting better? Otherwise why do it?

I rarely repeat playing the same role in a show. I figured I'd plumbed 90 percent the first time around, so let's move on to something where I'm starting from scratch.

Don't be an escort to people on their way to success, for it is equally as if you're a sign post, leading the way, and rusting at the end.

Vladimir Putin wants practical things, like the end of economic sanctions, but he also wants far greater sway in Europe and in the overall ideological trends of the world.

I would like to step out of my heart and go walking beneath the enormous sky.

Things are rough all over.

Computers are like bikinis. They save people a lot of guesswork.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It's much more of a business - very scientific.

If arrogance were shoes, he'd never go barefoot.
