The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned.

The `morality of compromise` sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don`t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them. I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn`t have been cast. I fooled them again. I can`t do it. I don`t know how to ...

My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I`ve had as an actor was when `Wild Wild West` opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn`t good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie, to open at $52 million and to know the movie wasn`t good.

I`m a very ambitious person. I don`t believe by any means that I`ve even begun to do what`s inside me. I have a burning sort of fire inside me to do certain things which I know I`m going to do. I`m going to defeat all these berks that are around me and I`...

When it comes to losing with United, I feel solely responsible for it. I can`t help it. My brain will work like mad after a defeat. I want to know where I have made the wrong decisions, how I could have changed things for this fantastic club.
