Putting all your eggs in one basket has never worked for me. Personally, I find if I decide too quickly that someone is my match, I start to get a little nutty.
A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.
If a director brings a guy to their movie who does improv, they've got to let him do what he does - otherwise it's like bringing Michael Jordan to your basketball team and telling him to just pass the ball and don't shoot.
Your film is a hit, you bathe in champagne; it flops, a single malt lessens the pain.
I wish I had thrown out the bathroom scale at age 16. Weighing yourself every morning is like waking up and asking Dick Cheney to validate your sense of inner worth.
A lot of times, the press guys ask why I take an hour and a half to come to the interview room, but if you don't do the massage and the ice baths and the stretching and the cooling down and the eating, and your opponent is doing that stuff, they already have an advantage.
Give yourself more opportunities for privacy, when you are not bombarded with duties and obligations. Privacy is not a rejection of those you love; it is your deserved respite for recharging your batteries.
In the Marine Corps, your buddy is not only your classmate or fellow officer, but he is also the Marine under your command. If you don't prepare yourself to properly train him, lead him, and support him on the battlefield, then you're going to let him down. That is unforgivable in the Marine Corps.
There is no God-given right to victory on the battlefield. You win that through the skill and the devotion, the valor and the ferocity of your troops.
The most important 6 inches on the battlefield is between your ears.
I say, don't try to fight your own battles because God will do it.
Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.
Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.
Sometimes you've got to tip your cap when they're painting stuff on the corner. But you can't give up, got to keep battling and make some adjustments.
When you're from the Bay Area, there's this chip on your shoulder that you inherently come up with, because us, as a region, we've been overlooked in the grand scheme of the history of the genre and the culture.
Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours.
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
Go for great. Own your game. Be kind. Get big things done.
