In my own case I have frequently faced the pitcher when I had no desire whatever to hit. I wanted to get a base on balls.
I always dreamt that I would marry in the Piazza Del Campo in Siena and go on my honeymoon down the Amazon, up the Nile, on a gallop through the pyramids, to Nepal and Kerala, on a safari and finally to Lake Titicaca in Peru.
I don't believe in diets, as I always put whatever I lost right back on again. I think we should all just eat healthily and get as much exercise as we can.
People have been to jail when they're innocent. I knew I would never miss a single ball on a snooker table on purpose and, until then, I was sure the evidence would support me.
I also want to try acting - give it a shot - maybe take some lessons, I think that could be fun. I feel like that could even help me with modeling, because in a way you have to act.
They thought that athletes that worked out with my system wouldn't be able to throw a ball because they'd be too muscle bound. Those are the misconceptions I had to go through for about 40 years.
I just try to play as hard as I can every possession. If you're aware and you're high-energy, the ball will eventually bounce your way and you'll be able to make plays.
I live a very different life now, with incredible privileges, but looking back I realise that growing up in Russia gave me tools that other people don't necessarily have - such as the will to push that bit further, to make things happen, to succeed.
I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training. I'm really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I'm pretty good at it, I feel sort of like a Karate Kid.
I used to come up with these crazy jobs to try and provoke my parents but they said, 'You can be anything you want.' So I was like, 'I want to be a garbage man' and they were like 'That's OK, we'll still love you!'
Jazz is all about improvisation and it's about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you'll never do it this way twice. I've studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jo...
Well, you know, it's been interesting because an album is just a snapshot of where you are at that time. Not all pictures of everybody are just in jeans and a 'T' shirt, or a ball gown. You have many different sides and this is a snapshot of where yo...
If I really had to pinpoint my happiest days out of the United States, I'd choose those Fifties military days in Britain, particularly my time in South Ruislip. I had a ball.
Jacob: The skin under your eyes is starting to look like Hugh Hefner's ball sack. Cal: [Carefully looks at himself on mirror and sighs... ] Yes, it is.
Nicky Santoro: [voice-over] For two days and two fuckin' nights, we beat the shit out of this guy. I mean, we even stuck ice-picks in his balls.
[Goldfinger is cheating at golf, with the help of Oddjob] Hawker: If that's his original ball, I'm Arnold Palmer. James Bond: 'Tisn't. Hawker: How do you know? James Bond: I'm standing on it.
Lt. Muldoon: Where are my men? Abby: [throws a bag to Lt. Muldoon] I put several right here. Lt. Muldoon: What the fuck is this? Abby: Their balls, sweetheart.
Goblin Gunner: FIRE! [He touches a match to the cannon, and a spiked ball fires. The heroes duck, and it smashes into a wall, sticking there] Goblin Cannonball: I hit something! Yes? No?
Bud White: The Nite Owl case made you. Do you want to tear all that down? Ed Exley: With a wrecking ball... You want to help me swing it?
[Bud grabs Johnny Stompanato by the testicles to get him to talk] Bud White: What do I get if I give you your balls back, you wop cocksucker?
[after the hockey ball rolls into the gutter] Young Dave: I guess I don't know my own strength. Young Jimmy: [Sarcastically] You know, Dave, that must be it.
