Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.

It took me a while to figure that out and to realize what a gift that I had been given. And when I finally did, I dedicated myself to be the best pitcher I possibly could be, for as long as I possibly could be.

Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.

Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.

Every artist makes himself born. It is very much harder than the other time, and longer.

I need about three seats lengthwise to sleep on a plane. It's not easy for me to curl up.

I wanted to play baseball!

I think the NBA players have to be held accountable in a reasonable way, just like any other professionals.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age
