• La habituación del cuerpo a caminar como algo normal proviene de los viejos tiempos. Era la forma burguesa de locomoción: la desmitologización física, libre del hechizo del paso hierático, del deambular sin techo, del vuelo sin aliento. La dignidad humana insistía en el derecho a caminar, un ritmo que no se arrancaba al cuerpo mediante el mando o el terror. La marcha, el paseo, eran formas privadas de pasar el tiempo, herencia del paseo feudal del siglo XIX.

• Baseball shaded my entire outlook on life, because that's how I first saw the world. I looked at everything, even today, through what I learned about the game. Like pacing yourself, focusing yourself, preparing yourself for what you want to do, keeping yourself healthy for the game. I do all that through the eyes of a ballplayer.

• But I do think that, when you slow the conveyor belt down, the quality control tends to go up. You have a lot more time between seasons to talk about what worked and what didn't work, and plan for the future. And the pacing of the storytelling, particularly for on-going serialized dramas, means that you don't need to do non-essential episodes, just because you have to fill this pre-existing schedule.

• One observer commenting on security analysts over forty stated: "They know too many things that are no longer true." As long as I am "on stage", publishing a regular record and assuming responsibility for management of what amounts to virtually 100% of the net worth of many partners, I will never be able to put sustained effort into any non-BPL activity. If I am going to participate publicly. I can't help being competitive. I know I don't want to be totally occupied with out-pacing an investment rabbit all my life. The only way to slow down is to stop.

• Leo muchas novelas policíacas porque siempre cumplen su cometido. Te dan un principio, un nudo y un desenlace, una resolución. Las novelas modernas que leo no siempre cumplen porque busco esencialmente una historia. Como en Shakespeare, "The play's the thing". En particular, leo novelas policíacas por el ritmo, la trama y el suspense.

• In the clubs, the entertainment and the restaurant business are at war with each other. You get crowds that are not the greatest, and it becomes like a babysitting job, rather than doing what you want to do. I have a more deliberate pacing in my act, and having a half interested audience is death. They have to hear what I'm saying for it to pay off.

• Mi padrastro era payaso en el circo Shrine. Me llevó entre bastidores cuando tenía 23 años. Vi a tres elefantes encadenados al suelo de cemento del almacén de la Feria Estatal de Michigan. La tristeza, la desesperanza y el miedo emanaban de sus ojos, de sus cuerpos. Se balanceaban neuróticamente de un lado a otro. Un mono gritaba en su jaula, agarrándose a los barrotes de su prisión. Dos tigres se mueven febrilmente en sus jaulas. La crueldad me miraba a la cara. Sabía que algo iba mal. Si prestas atención a la energía, puedes saber cuándo un ser está en peligro.
