My dad wanted me to go down a more academic route. He is very much about sticking to the rule book and sticking to the blueprint of a successful career.
I'd like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people - that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy.
To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.
My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
I've spent the better part of my career in politics and public policy working on and fighting for education reforms.
Oh, my God, I don't think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.
Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.
I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.
I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.
I've said yes to everything that Jon Stewart has asked me to do. That's been a pretty good career decision, I think.
I was feeling real good and real manly. Until a real cowboy walked by and told me I had my hat on backwards. So much for my career as a cowboy.
You have your bad moments in your career and your good moments. And it's been a good ride so far, but it's not over yet.
I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.
I've created my own career in my life, and I've had a lot of fun doing it. I think that's good.
Doing something because it's quote-unquote a good career move doesn't really appeal to me.
When I look back over my career, having an opportunity to compete against really good players like Lester Hayes are some of the highlights.
My favourite place is at home with my family. My career is really raising my children. I'm still waiting for clarity on the future.
When I started skating, it was such a small community. You didn't aspire to be rich or famous or make a career out of it because that wasn't something anyone had done yet.
What I would say to a person who is firm in their faith and wants to go into an acting career: It is such a difficult thing to do without compromising your beliefs.
