Never eat less than four hours before boxing. Then eat only lightly.
He’s the president of the United States. He’s got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he’s got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?

The reason that we don’t have happy hours up here is because you never know when something might actually go sideways, and so we always have to be prepared in a worst, worst case scenario to jump on our spacecraft and go home. So, we have to keep it pretty straight and narrow while we’re up here.

I practiced for at least two hours every day for twenty years, before then I practiced maybe four to five hours a day, and before then 14 hours a day. It was all I had ever done.

When I was traded from the Oakland A’s to the Atlanta Braves before the 2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby Cox.
For me, if I’m away from my son for more than 48 hours, I’m crabby.

Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.

Back in the day, I would wear up to 45 pounds of gold. It would take me four hours to get dressed!
I am much less autistic now, compared to when I was young. I remember some behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn’t want to be touched.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
I’m either shooting nine grams of coke a day or spending two hours at the gym. There’s no middle ground.
