I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I've probably been to Fenway 40 times. I've been pretty lucky as a sports fan because the Patriots have won Super Bowls and the Red Sox have won World Series during my lifetime.

Winning is fun and great, but I would rather have a long, successful and healthy career than a short one with a few wins.

The biggest thing was just getting comfortable out there in front of all the people and just the whole major setting and how difficult major championships are, how patient... you have to be.

As long as you can find a place to develop as an all-round player, then you're doing great.

The real problem is that there's a tendency to associate ageing with loss and decline and things that aren't desirable. But experiencing all that there is to experience in life - whether that's at the age of ten or thirty or fifty or eighty - is what life is all about.

The purpose of God's creations and of His giving us life is to allow us to have the learning experience necessary for us to come back to Him, to live with Him in eternal life.

The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.

In film, I think that you do have a little more time to invest in the character compared to television, where you are shooting from the hip and making quick choices. It is the speed of things that is the major difference - certainly in my experience.
