I want to be that guy that says I was one of the first guys to put a banner in Brooklyn.
I fought tooth and nail: I didn't want to learn Hebrew. My Bar Mitzvah came around, and I didn't want to read the Torah portion. I look back with a lot of chagrin about how I behaved.
I don't want to be a negative piece of barbed wire sitting up in the booth with all the answers. I think that's a turn-off.
I stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.
Once, right before a show, I realized I'd forgotten shoes. I didn't want to wear my flip-flops onstage because I could trip. I ended up going barefoot, which actually worked out because it became my 'thing.'
Human nature says that you want a bargain, whether you want the goods or not. You think that something is a steal, you'll buy it.
Until you learn to play what you want to hear, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Mommy smoked but she didn't want us to. She saw smoke coming out of the barn one time, so we got whipped.
I bought a wrestling ring in either my third or fourth year in the league. I had it built in my barn and didn't use it much except for at parties when my friends' kids would want to get in there.
All I ask is to be held above the barren wastes of want.
I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can't.
When I'm done playing basketball, I want do something bigger. I'm working on my doctorate right now at Barry University in Florida.
My standard comment is, 'If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.'
Athletes are going to tease each other. Football players want to be baseball players. Baseball players want to be football players. Basketball players want to be baseball players, and vice versa.
I know that baseball players have certain rituals or habits that they develop, because sometimes it becomes somewhat superstitious if they get on a streak and want to do the same thing over and over again.
If you really want to know what Middle-earth is based on, it's my wonder and delight in the earth as it is, particularly the natural earth.
Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private 'revelation'.
For novelists or musicians, if they really want to create something, they need to go downstairs and find a passage to get into the second basement. What I want to do is go down there, but still stay sane.
I didn't want to bash young people. I don't want to bash a kid for dreaming or wanting something or being slightly ambitious - that's not the problem. The actual problem is with the culture surrounding him.
I don't want to bash Bill and Hillary, because they're friends of mine, but I do have a difference of opinion about how to take back the House and the Senate.
