You know what I think happened? After 'Rocky,' I was almost set up in the eyes of the media to make a flop.

When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.

I keep trying to tell people. I said, at 40, 45, you're at that crossroads. You really are there. And it's not like you can have gain without pain, but this is it. The days are - like when I wrote this whole thing about, in the beginning of my first magazine. I said, "If you live to be 75 years old, that's 3,900 weekends. That's it."

I guess the best thing I do of all is ride. Horsemanship, I have a natural flair for it.

If you're willing to take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd, maybe it's, you know, the pleasure will be worth the pain.

Boxing is a great exercise ... as long as you can yell "cut" whenever you want to.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
