“It’s a great stretch for me to do my game show. It’s very hard. It’s not me at all. The only part that’s me is sort of when I’m sitting in the booth looking tormented. That’s the only part that’s the real me.”

Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.

Life lived to help others is the only life that matters.

When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers, talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed.

I hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys.

You cannot win if you’re not at the table. You have to be where the action is.

It means zero to be against greed.

I’ve never liked the idea of just having an office in a college somewhere and teaching classes and going to the library and doing research all day. I’ve never wanted that. The glamorous life is the life that appeals to me.

The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.

I am back in LA now. And I keep thinking back to my time in New York after the bombings…. I was crying so much I could not see, and the other diners joined in, and I thought, What do you do with such atheistic evil?

Hollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.

The ordinary American – as far as I can tell – knows so much less than he did fifty years ago and has such poor work habits compared with fifty years ago that the average multiplicand of knowledge/capabilities is a much smaller number than it was in 1961.

The first step in getting what you want from life-decide what you want.

I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.

I feel as if I’m in on a pass and am damn lucky to have whatever I have. It could all be taken away in a second.

Prime-time network television has become an island without religion in an ever-more-religious America.

Emperor Sid Caesar is gone to eternity himself now. He takes with him the gratitude of every one of us who first learned the relief of laughter from this genuinely great performer.

As far as U.S. tennis, we need new stars coming up in the pipeline, but I don’t know if we have it.

It’s all about chemistry. Talent alone won’t get it done.

I read the three Hunger Games books in a week and because I liked them so much I wrote Just a Game.

We have made drugs an Olympic event. It receives most of the coverage at the Games and even the suspicion of guilt can ruin a reputation for life.

We are a team. We share the ball, we share the game, we share the worries.

At the end of the day, when two combatants get into the ring and/or cage, it’s anybody’s game, especially in MMA.

We need to make a game out of earning money. There is so much good we can do with money. Without it, we are bound and shackled and our choices become limited.

I’m very impatient. I am. That’s the bane of my game. I don’t think about what I’m going to do – I just go hit it, I don’t stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.
