When I was doing interviews at the FBI, my tape recorder battery died. They gave me a new one, and I said, 'Of course, this is bugged?'
I didn't really start doing stuff until I was 8 or so, but I was an extra in a bunch of different movies, and I just really took to it and really enjoyed it. I kind of bugged my parents to give L.A. a shot, and they were just super-supportive.
I was frightened. I hadn't really had any experience, and then all of a sudden I was thrown straight into doing interviews. Most people have build-up. I had none.
One Christmas build-up tradition, however, has totally bypassed me - that of going up to town and 'doing a show.'
I would play games long enough to discover what games were doing and how they were doing it. And then I'd spend the rest of my time building.
I caught hold of the great bull market in soybeans in 1977. I had no idea what I was doing, incidentally.
There was times when I was bullied about dancing and stuff. But you couldn't hit me hard enough to stop me from doing it.
By the time I was 4 or 5, I was doing 250 push-ups and sit-ups a day. When I was 6, we bumped it up to about 500 push-ups and sit-ups a day. Some days it could even be 750 or 1,000.
Trump bumper sticker is the new Confederate flag. Absolutely. All Donald Trump is doing is making America hate again.
It just makes that person feel that what his work is is going to be more valid. But who wants to see a guy standing in front, looking like a bum, doing something that a bums don't do? This don't make sense.
Focus on doing the right things instead of a bunch of things.
I love doing bank robberies, drug cases, homicides - as a prosecutor, that's what I thought I was going to be overseeing when I got to the bureau.
What can I do if everyone from the president to a junior bureaucrat is dying to convict me. If I am such a criminal, what was I doing outside jail before my marriage to Benazir?
I love doing my 'Buried Treasure' show.
I can talk to my dad like he's my manager, and put 'Dad' on the back burner. We've been doing it since I was 13.
Every time I sat in a chemistry lesson, I thought, 'What am I doing this for? I don't ever want to be in a job that involves a Bunsen burner.'
That's one of the reason T-Bone Burnett calls me... he thinks I'm used to doing what I do in the studio for him.
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.
That's the thing: You don't understand burnout unless you've been burned out. And it's something you can't even explain. It's just doing something you have absolutely no passion for.
If the bus driver is black, I thank him... when I get off at my spot, whereas I would never think of doing this if the driver were white.
