I'll miss everyone on Dallas so much, but I have a wonderful career ahead of me. I can feel it.

Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life.

This is largely the methodology I've used throughout my career - that is, starting with a question as to what might be the properties of a set of compounds that could be invented which were unusual and unpredictable. Many times I've felt a bit like Columbus setting sail.

Unfortunately my career began in Hollywood, doing a negative pickup for Universal pictures.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.

The NBA wasn't a big deal at that time, so it wasn't really in my career plans.

Well, T Bone's had a remarkable career as a producer since the time that we first worked together. He was dividing his time between recording and producing when we first met, and touring. We toured together and we were great friends.

At risk of sounding foully pompous I think that writers' groups are probably very useful at the beginning of a writing career.

I associate my motion picture career more with being unhappy and scared, or being under the gun, than with anything pleasant.

It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.

You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.

If you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one.

I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career.

My career is pretty much over. I'm out in the Valley eating soft-boiled eggs.
