When I'm in a zone, I don't think about the shot or the wind or the distance or the gallery or anything; I just pull a club and swing.

Golf is just a game - and an idiotic game most of the time.

Hit it hard. It will land somewhere.

If I had hit it like I wanted to I'd have holed it.

If you give people a chance, they shine.

A gripping historical novel . . . heart-stopping, heart-racing and eventually heart-easing.–Library Voice

I have my standards. They may be low but I have them.

Dan Gerber is one of our finest living poets.

I'm a believer in the benefits of translation. It's a necessity and a privilege - it would be awful to be limited to reading authors who's work was composed in the languages I happen to have learned.

The forces of the nineteenth century have run their course and are exhausted.

I can't say I believe in prizes. I was a whiz in the three-legged race - that's something you CAN win.

I didn't want to lift weights and get all big; I just wanted to get cut.

I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.

We have outlived this embryo, this human cradle, and now it's time to be up and about the great business of becoming citizens of the galaxy and at home with our own heart.
