I was never a class clown or anything like that, but I do remember being in the first grade and my teacher, Mr. Chad, told the class one day that we were going to do some exercises. He meant math exercises, but I stood up and started doing jumping jacks. To this day, I don't know what possessed me to do that, but all my friends cracked up.
In all my life, I have never been free. I have never been able to do anything with freedom, except in the field of my writing.
I could spend all my time on a plane visiting multiple countries, and I would never visit enough.
I wish I could write about shows outside New York. I often feel like the last person to know anything, because I almost never get to leave town, and when I do, I tend to go for three days max. Seeing between 30 and 40 shows a week in 100 or so galleries and museums takes up nearly all my time.
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
A city like London is sociable in a sense that there are people gathering in bars and restaurants, concerts and lectures. Yet you can partake of all these experiences and never say hello to anyone new. And one of the things that all religions do is take groups of strangers into a space and say it is OK to talk to each other.
Never wear a seersucker suit straight off the rack. It's going to look shapeless and droopy. If you're going to sport seersucker, whether a jacket, trousers or a full suit, have it fitted. A nice, custom, tailored fit makes all the difference in the world.
I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.
I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life you're inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something you've never seen before. If they do, I'm still looking for it.
I never thought I would be standing here, married to an All-American guy, living in Oklahoma. What a country.
You always want what you can't have, and that all-American thing, from the day I was born, I could never enter that dream. That all-American white culture is something that is inherited instead of attained.
My styles range quite a bit. I go for an all-around kind of fan. Never wanted to be the dude that could do one thing. I wanted to be the guy that could hang with anybody.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
You can never come back fresher after the all-star break. I always try to do what I do, try to take care of my body, get some weights in, feel a little bit stronger and ready to push through 25 games.
I would have never thought that I'd be an All-Star in this league, so to finally have my name called, it's really cool.
I never cared for stuff like the All-Star Game.
