The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

When I was broke, no one ever offered to buy me a beer. Now that I have quite a bit of money, everybody tries to buy me beers. Where were all these people back when I was in college and broke?

Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

World Class players can lay down the toughest hands and play any two cards at any time without fear. Their reads are impeccable.

I always pretend like I'm nervous no matter what. I try to fall asleep.

Other than that and the fact that I don't have to work any more my life hasn't changed a bit.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

You're all incredibly thoughtful souls who keep my head attached to my body.

When you share your knowledge, you gain wisdom. Share as much as you can and as often as you can.

The philosopher cannot seriously put to himself questions that his civilization has not lived.

That's a parents' job, isn't it? To raise a child strong enough to leave and break our hearts?

If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?

The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It's strange how involved people get: invested and angry, really disappointed.

I have 4 bedrooms in my house. 1 is for guests, the other 3 are for closets.

I was so brilliant in the past. Now my mind is a blank. It's so glorious to get old.

Nothing can be proposed so wild or so absurd as not to find a party, and often a very large party to espouse it.

We want to be in a situation under maximum pressure, maximum intensity, and maximum danger. When it's shared with others, it provides a bond which is stronger than any tie that can exist.
