I sometimes think I’ve needed a bit of an arm around me in my career – which I’ve not always got from certain managers and coaches who didn’t understand me.

If you’ve had the No. 1 job, why would you go back and be reserve manager? Is Alex Ferguson going to be reserve manager for Manchester United? It’s like a boxer going into the ring with one arm behind his back. Why would you do it? You’re going to get knocked out.
I’m not just somebody shuffling around in a monster suit. I’m a kind of puppeteer from the inside who is attempting through arm and body movements to give the creatures I play a sense of personality.
No one would feel embarrassed about seeking help for a child if they broke their arm – and we really should be equally ready to support a child coping with emotional difficulties.

Look at guys like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Those guys have great arms, but people talk about them more as a quarterbacks and the intellectual side of the game and how they really dissect defenses – and then the arm is something else that helps them with that.
I have a tattoo on my arm that says, ‘Would you be proud to die this way?’ And that’s my reminder to continue to treat people well and love people, and if I took my last breath right now, would I be happy with who I am?

If you cut off your arm instead of going ‘spurt, spurt, spurt’ wouldn’t it, like, go nuts? Or would it go with the beat of your heart?

My mother has the same kind of an arm, even today at 74. She could throw a ball from second base to home plate with something on it. I got my arm from my mother.

I always wear flat shoes for darts because a heel can put me off balance. I press the side of my shoe against the oche, not the toe. That puts my throwing arm a few inches closer to the board. Not everybody is the same but it works for me.
There’s still this idea that women are over by the time they are 40, so that they can’t play the love interest opposite a 50-year-old man. George Clooney is 52, but he’s always on the arm of a thirt-something actress. He gets Vera Farmiga. You don’t get a 50-year-old woman on the arm of a 30-year-old guy.
In 1978, I had a near-fatal car accident in the Bahamas. There was a point when I could have lost my right arm – but it was good because it forced me to slow down and take a break.

I prepare myself to be strong, so that my arm is healthy.
She bowed her head, clasping her hands tightly before her upon the arm of his chair, for her heart yearned towards him, yet could not reach him, and it made her throat ache with unhappiness to meet that look of his that rested on her face without seeing it.
Nobody wants to see arm bars or cross-body blocks anymore.

Would that we could at once paint with the eyes! In the long way from the eye through the arm to the pencil, how much is lost!
Just like I gave Jack Ma and Alibaba the luxury of staying private for longer, I am now giving Arm the gift of being private. My only message to them now is take my investment and let’s go, go, go.
When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to.
A Republican philosophy goes something like this: If you take your car to the mechanic, and instead of fixing it, they take out the engine and charge you an arm and a leg, you should conclude that mechanics can’t fix cars and you should probably just take yours to the junkyard and sell it for scrap metal.
