I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
Making the Hall of Fame, would it be something that's gratifying because of what I've sacrificed? Sure. Baseball has been a big part of our lives. We've sacrificed our bodies. It's the way we made our living.
I feel a responsibility to try and give back. I see young people out there who are trained, and any way I can help them and give them an opportunity is gratifying.
It seems like a totally gratuitous myth to tell people a giant rabbit comes round at night leaving candy in a haphazard way around the house... and the cover shows the bunny caught in the act.
There's something Zen-like about the way I work - it's like raking gravel in a Zen Buddhist garden.
We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.
People that are 40, they don't sit around at talk about gray hair and how it covers their hair. They talk about highlighting, of course they're covering gray, but they don't talk about it that way. They're going to get their colors because they need a little lightening.
The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
I'm not a great believer in marriages as an institution, or even in very long term relationships. I'm not sure we're built that way.
Look at Cillian Murphy: 'Batman,' 'Tron'... those are some heavy-hitting franchises. But he works his way around it. He manages to have a great career and a great life.
Directors are our teachers, and I'm always craving to work with a great director. They're pretty much the first thing that interests me about a project. Let's put it this way: It'll take me a lot longer to read a script if there's no director attached.
In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard.
I fantasised about F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' - I loved it, and then I read everything J. D. Salinger had to offer. Then I was turned on to Kerouac, and his spontaneous prose, his stream of consciousness way of writing. I admired him so much, and I romanticised so much about the '40s and '50s.
Flip Saunders is a great coach and a great guy. Glen Taylor is the same way. He's a great human being.
When I realized I could use Facebook as a way to communicate directly with my fans, I thought it would be a great idea.
It was some great times and some great moments⦠I'm proud to be a WWE alumni. If it wasn't for my time there, there's no way I'd be excelling at Fox and acting.
I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.
The best way to advance in a career is to get great results while working with people.
Great stories start with great opening lines. 'I'm a lineman for the county' - what a great way to start a song.
