Part of my strength as an actor comes from what I've learned all these years: when you play a villain you try to get the light touches when you play a hero you try to get in some of the warts.

In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.

I learned that it is the weak who are cruel and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now but where they're going to be.

We coaches have to learn how to deal with that: How do I get to each one best - with a talk with video analysis? And what sort of tone? We need our own coaches for that. The sports psychologist coaches me too.

In praising science it does not follow that we must adopt the very poor philosophies which scientific men have constructed. In philosophy they have much more to learn than to teach.
