Went Quotes

I was very precocious when I was young. I went to college at 16, and I graduated at 20. I wanted to be a writer, but I was more interested in experience than in applying myself intellectually Picture Quote #1

I went and got a tire tool out of my truck, and straightened him out as cold as a block of ice. It was an attitude adjustment, and it’ll work every time Picture Quote #1

You must respect people and work hard to be in shape. And I used to train very hard. When the others players went to the beach after training, I was there kicking the ball Picture Quote #1

If two or three hundred years from now an earthbound civilization is dying... and they look back at the opportunity that we have here at the close of the twentieth century to move out into space and they see that we didn’t do anything with it... I don’t want history to judge us on having blown this opportunity, and I think history will judge us on this more than on any other issue Picture Quote #1

Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can’t be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can’t be the agent of causing someone to go to prison Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a smart kid and I still don’t think I’m too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college Picture Quote #1

I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye... My body made me feel bad at everything Picture Quote #1

Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn’t going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it Picture Quote #1

Jesus did not get stuck in intellectual arguments with people. He did not go for the intellect; He went for the conscience. He spoke to that part of the person that knows the difference between right and wrong instinctively Picture Quote #1

I’ve never forgotten what it’s like to be in your early twenties, which is not a particularly easy time. You’ve left your family, you’ve left the strictures of high school, and you’re trying to break free and form yourself but you have to support yourself as well. We don’t really give enough credence to that time of life and to its troubles Picture Quote #1

I never had trouble getting an agent. I went out and got my first couple roles, and literally within six months I never had to have another job other than acting Picture Quote #1

I began after college, about 1972. I began to teach myself photography. I went to work for a local newspaper for four years as a kind of basic training Picture Quote #1

When I was a teenager, my father went bust. He could have declared himself bankrupt, but he was an honourable man and he insisted on paying back all his debts. That almost ruined the family. I was aware that my mother and father couldn’t control things anymore. I guess I was afraid that we would end up on the street Picture Quote #1

I can tell you that, you know, when I went to my first movie premiere, it was my own movie, and I wore the best jeans I had and my favorite top. You know, I made sure my hair had some wave in it because I braided it the night before myself Picture Quote #1

I’m 64 years old and, yeah, I went through a transition in my life last year, with the death of my son, that woke me up to a lot of things. You know, I’m perfectly happy in my own little groove. Marching along, building my company, and you know, a happy person Picture Quote #1

I think there is a heritage which I’m proud of, which is a fight for democracy, a fight for social justice, a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life, fighting for his principles for democracy, or for his country. And my father twice Picture Quote #1

I was in a play directed by my father, and I was doing a fight scene, and the choreography went haywire, and I flew backward over a chair and ripped my thumb all the way to my wrist and had to have surgery to sew up all the tendons in there Picture Quote #1

I’ve been busy and not busy, and busy is better. I’ve been busy, but I went through a lot of periods where it was lean for a lot of times Picture Quote #1

I had a job, I got ill, I left the job to get better, and while I was getting better, I wrote some stories. I sent them to some publishers and the fifth one who replied said they’d take them. Then they went bankrupt. Then that bankrupt publisher got bought by a bigger firm. Story: in the end is the beginning, and in the beginning is the end Picture Quote #1

I started boxing when I was eight. I enjoyed when I could hit someone and they couldn’t hit me back. It was like a game for me. The feeling of knocking someone out. My first knockout victory was when I was ten. He went down and his nose started to bleed, so they stopped it Picture Quote #1

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records. And I wanted everything that went along with it Picture Quote #1
