I’d like to play a game of Marco Polo—in the 13th century.
The Polo Lounge is like a fine old mink coat: opulent, dignified and warm.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.
But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.
There's no snobbery or resentment from serious polo people towards those who just come for the party.
I don't go to royal parties or play polo on horseback. No, I don't hang out with the posh crowd, if that makes sense.
Matthew Lowe is one of the great water men that I know. He's a surfer, a great water polo player. I think he's half fish.

Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.
