When I travel with my kids abroad, I am not myself, but I'm more a father who wants to protect them.

I am fine if they want to take my pictures, but they are not public property.
I always want to do better; I always want to find a new challenge.

The deal is: most men just want to marry someone who is nice to them.
Do you want to be the guy with a game named after you or be the one with 18 Oscar nominations?
These are stories you hear... of people sitting in a mall and being spotted, and you think it will happen to you. And when you're fresh off the boat, and new in Bombay, you want those kind of things! They are magical fables. You want to, somewhere, be a part of it, something people will read about. But reality is different.
To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life.

If we really want liberty - if we really want liberty - then we need to go out and get it, we need to take it, because nobody is going to give it to us. And we need to do it now.
All I want to do is do my shows and play golf.
Online is such a brilliant, brilliant way to connect with young readers - even if they just want to tweet, 'Hey, I read your book!' - that, absolutely, I connect with that. But I also treat writing as solitary and keep it to myself as long as I can.

I'm interested in helping secure the PC - we need innovation here. It's not just hug your PC, hate the iPhone. In fact I don't even hate the iPhone; I think it's really cool. I just don't want it to be the center of the ecosystem along with the Web 2.0 apps.

I'd probably earn more than I could in track-and-field. But that's a dangerous scenario to get yourself into.
I don't set myself targets. Last season I scored hat-trick against Wolfsburg and three days later, that was forgotten, you're about to be judged again. When you've done well, you don't want another game, you just want to feel great. When you've done badly, you can't wait for another chance to come.
If you want to experiment, do something temporary.
Many people find their calling very early in their lives. These are the kind of people we read about in school books and newspapers. Then there are some who don't have a clue of what they want to do in their lives; I am belong to the latter category.

You don't want to play the same role twice.
