Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

If I am through learning, I am through.

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

Success in sport is based on you thinking you are doing something to gain that edge, but if I wanted that little bit extra, I would go and run up sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr.

I've carried my chip with me my entire career. I've had to fight and claw for every position I've had. I sat on the bench as a junior in high school, I had to compete my senior year in high school to get the job. I competed again at Vanderbilt before having success.

Every decade of my life I attempted to write a novel. But I had nothing to say. I was far too self-absorbed, and now I realize I was writing for others, so that they'd applaud me, see my genius, tell me how wonderful I am, or be jealous of my success.

Don't be afraid of failure; be afraid of petty success.
