“I just hope bluegrass entertainers take care of their music and take care of their fans. If you don't practice, the man next door who is practicing will beat you.”
“Itâ€™s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after,you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where youâ€™ve been and whats happened. In the end, youâ€™re just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it.”
“Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.”
“I like doing sequels. Basically, I think it's a fun thing to follow characters in time. In real time.”
“No golfer has completed his education until he has played and studied Royal Dornoch.”

It is about time for an end to that old Britain where what matters more are the privileges you are born with, rather than the potential you actually have.”

“If we are negative by nature, we Americans are more human than most. The Founding Fathers loved going negative. Heck, the Declaration of Independence is one long negative ad.”
“Love isn't about what we did yesterday; it's about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after”
