Welcome to Chicago. This town stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.

There is no such thing as character other than the habitual action, as Mr. Aristotle told us two thousand years ago.

The subject of drama is The Lie. At the end of the drama THE TRUTH -- which has been overlooked, disregarded, scorned, and denied -- prevails. And that is how we know the Drama is done.

Many players will not improve because they cannot bear self-knowledge.

You can't rely on the acting to tell the story.

You got an all-out prize fight, you wait 'til the fight's over, one guy's left standing and that's how you know who's won.

A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team.
