I want to be involved with young people in some way. Teenagers. Because that's the most vulnerable time. I have a fantasy of becoming a teacher one day.

I don't have high expectations anymore. Maybe they've just been beaten out of me.

It would be really wonderful if people connected to the loneliness of what it means to be a human being in the world today.

I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.

Every experience makes you grow.

When you get into your 40s, it's all about lighting. It's hard. You have to face whether the way you look is your self-worth or not. Once you get beyond that, it's all about what's in your heart.

I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.

I became disconnected from the childlike play that art could be. I spent so much time fearing I wasn't good enough that I lost the sense that my artistic expression was worthy.

Take accountability... Blame is the water in which many dreams and relationships drown.

My goodness, why is this woman [ Hillary Clinton ] at 46%? She's like the magic 46. She's 46% in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, she's 46% in a lot of these swing states.

Democracy only works when we claim it as our own.

Thats the hard part about sport: as men we havent started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.

But to me, the most important page in my daughter's book is the last one - because it's blank. It says, "Your Hero's Photo Here," and, "Your Hero's Story Here."

As for how I feel about any success I've had, I just feel extremely lucky. Writing is a tough racket, and there are a lot of writers out there better than me who can't seem to catch a break.

Those who seek for much are left in want of much. Happy is he to whom God has given, with sparing hand, as much as is enough.

There's two lanes running down this road which ever side your on, accounts for where you want to go or what you're running from.

I don't look at myself as a basketball coach. I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball.
