Most marriages recognize this paradox: Passion destroys passion; we want what puts an end to wanting what we want.

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship. But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don't want to be the last man standing.

I don't want to save a creek for the creek's sake, but what's in it for human beings.

But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.

This is a Solo Flight, but I want aviation enthusiasts and adventurers everywhere to join me in the endeavour.

As many know, and especially those who may have young sons or daughters at colleges or universities, the last thing you want to hear is a call that perhaps one of your children was injured or, even worse, lost their life in a tragic fire at a dorm or campus housing.

My students frequently ask what their next project should be. My advice: immerse yourself in the music you love and you will find what you want to do; you will discover your next project.

The creative act is like writing a letter. A letter is a project; you don't sit down to write a letter unless you know what you want to say and to whom you want to say it.

That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it.

Once you drink one glass, you want another.

It's easier for me to get three times the amount of money I really want.

We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next.
