I believe in a business boarding up early. If you make a mistake, you put the boards in the window of the store and say, "Hey, I made a mistake." Let me take two shots in the arm and a punch on the nose and let me get on to the next thing. I don't believe in worrying over failures. I worry about successes. This is opposite from most people. Most people zero in on their failures. I try to keep all my attention on a pyramid type philosophy rather than the averaging-down philosophy.

Can't win without talent, you know.

I don't think any decent human being enjoys recruiting.

I come from New York where, if you fall down, someone will pick you up by your wallet.

I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

You can always tell the Catholic schools by the length of the cheerleaders' skirts.

The next time I will cry is when I die. My life has been that beautiful.
