All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains.

I realize now that it is a serious business requiring honest, hard work. The first time Hollywood was served up to me on a silver platter. I’ve finally gotten rid of the platter.
Without wishing to sound arrogant, when I was younger, I used to win every single martial arts tournament I ever entered. I used to enter the under 14s and under 16s, win both gold medals in those, and then go in the men’s tournament just for experience, and end up getting a silver medal.
I didn’t think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.

All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.

Not that I went into the Olympics with any doubt, but my holiday plans afterwards depended on how well I did – bronze, silver or gold.

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek?

Coho or silver salmon are very common and easy to get for a good price.
I’m proud of everything that I’ve accomplished since I was a little boy. That was my dream – to be a ballplayer. I didn’t dream to win so many Gold Gloves, or Silver Bats or play in All-Star Games or World Series. I was just dreaming to play the game.
