Sports are basically our way of feeling sorry for ourselves. Most men can't become athletes. We're watching guys who actually made it. We see them dunking and making touchdowns. Then we think about ourselves when we were younger.
I'm a Buffalo wing magnet, a sandwich fanatic, a cheesesteak guy. But I'll only get a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. No one else does it right.
You do projects with the hope they will be big and hope they will go beyond what you imagine.

I feel like whatever you've done in your career, good or bad, it's nothing but preparation for the big events to come.
