If there are actors that are brilliant, people often wonder whether it’s intimidating working alongside them, but it really isn’t. It just makes you up your game and want to be better. Rather than cowering in their shadows, it’s very encouraging to see someone who’s incredible; it makes me want to be a bit more like them. – Tom Mison
We’ve had drive-by shootings. I’ve been spat on, slapped, shot at. One guy tried to stab me with a broken beer bottle. But the way we look at it, if people do the worst they can, we’ll still wake up in glory. – Troy Perry

The visits Prime Minister Koizumi made to the Yasukuni Shrine, I believe, had nothing to do with approval ratings. He paid respects at the Yasukuni Shrine to pay respects to the people of Japan who fought and lost their lives for the country and to pray for the peace of their souls. – Shinzo Abe
If it happens, I’ll be proud, and it would be a dream come true, though I doubt I ever thought I’d be a Hall of Famer when I started. It wasn’t until late in my career that people started to mention it, and you start thinking about it a little bit. – Tom Glavine
