I realized that while I would never be my mother nor have her life the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.
Few men during their lifetime comes anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
In all my perplexities and distresses the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
I was never into sports and my passion was the arts as long as I could remember.
I didn't grow up a theatre kid going to theatre camps. I played sports and that was my main direction. But luckily I never had to choose between sports and theatre.
I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports or plays or school performances so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.
My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports we were all big into sports as kids and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on because he didn't know about sports but he knew about wrestling.
I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s after my music career got going.
No matter how many years you play it's always something new and exciting. It's sports you never know what may happen.
If I wasn't dyslexic I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader then that would have come easily sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.
I love that men like to look at women that they love sports that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.
I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated ' because I've always been skinny.
As a result of Title IX and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had women's sports have arrived.
Sports is the only entertainment where no matter how many times you go back you never know the ending.
I'm an English boy. I played a lot of sports growing up but I never had any kind of workout regimen.
I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.
Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.
I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.
I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead so it's always been something I look towards.
I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.
I like every single actor or actress in the world because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.
I liked sports but I never really had the confidence. I was always coordinated and it came easy to me but I didn't have the confidence to go along with the physical skill.
And actually about three weeks ago Micky Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience.
