Honestly, at one time I thought Babe Ruth was a cartoon character. I really did, I mean, I wasn't born until 1961, and I grew up in Indiana.
When I gave up me, I became more. I became a captain, a leader, a better person and I came to understand that life is a team game. . . And you know what?. . . I've found most people aren't team players. They don't realize that life is the only game in town. Someone should tell them. It has made all the difference in the world to me.
Good teams I played on. . . just the tone that they play with, the energy they play with, how they go about it. When you get it going the right way, you get everyone going in the same direction and it's a powerful thing.
If you don't second-guess yourself, then you are not trying to get better.

What makes screenplays difficult are the things that require the most discipline and care and are just not seen by most people. I'm talking about movement - screenwriting is related to math and music, and if you zig here, you know you have to zag there.

Our real battlefield today is Asia and our real battle is the one between democracy and communism. . . .

Whatever happened in the past doesn't really matter anymore to us right now.
