Playing in New England and the Boston area, the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well, they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly.

That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.

I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is.

You want hot days to get your fruit ripe but then you want it to cool off nicely at night so that the grapes stay on the vine longer and develop complexity.

I retire with a smile on my face, in good health, and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life.

I had a great career and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing.

I'm not fast. But there are a lot of guys that are a hell of a lot slower than I am. Somebody wants to do a pay-per-view race between me and [Tom] Brady, sign me up.

The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top.

I feel pretty good when I get out of bed in the morning. I don't feel all beat up, which is nice.

The positives of retiring outweighed the positives of returning and my desire to still play.

Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream.

The Lethean Library, for all its incalculable volumes, is, I know, sadly incomplete without Mr. Goodman's effort.

I'm thankful that my memory is good because my vision is going.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.

In each of us there dwells a mystery, and that mystery is the human personality.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

I try to play within the flow of the team's offense.

If I didnt promote Joker, then who promoted

The means that heaven yields must be embraced, and not neglected; else, if heaven would, and we will not heaven's offer, we refuse the proffered means of succor and redress.
