We are all of us obliged, if we are to make reality endurable, to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.
It's awesome where I am right now. It's a lot of people's dream. I'm going to take full advantage of it.
If they asked me, I would have to say no. I made up my mind to play for the United States some day and I'm sticking to it. (on playing for Ghana)
I feel the pressure but I embrace it. Whatever I have to do to make the sport catch on to other people, I'll do it.
A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.
I'm just trying to do whatever is asked of me. I've been thrown into many different positions. Sometimes I'm on the left. Sometimes I'm in the middle. Sometimes I'm up top. So you always have to be prepared. I'm learning a lot so hopefully I can keep getting better and better.
Sometimes I even amaze myself, and sometimes I do things that make me want to punch myself in the face.
All the problems of the world - child labor, corruption - are symptoms of a spiritual disease: lack of compassion.
I like the way that different people recognise me for the roles I done
If we had the consciousness of a cat or a dog, we would have it in us to become perfect Zen masters. We could gnaw on a bone, take a nap, play with a spider until we killed it, get our litter just right, and be innocently and serenely present. Meaning would mean nothing to us, nor would we need it to mean anything. We would be free, and we would be spared. But, we are human beings, and we posses that odd duck – human consciousness.
Integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences.
