• I was blessed with speed and a good punch. Everybody thinks I'm the hardest puncher ever. But I just think I was really fast, and my punches got to the target faster. That's what made my knockouts always seem spectacular.

• A powerful athlete is not a strong athlete, but one who can exert his strength quickly. Since power equals force times speed, if the athlete learns to make faster movements he increases his power, even though the contractile pulling strength of his muscles remains unchanged. Thus, a smaller man who can swing faster may hit as hard or as far as the heavier man who swings slowly.

• Una de las cosas que probablemente empezaré a construir en mi taller es un vehículo en el que cada rueda tiene básicamente una base de simulador de vuelo como suspensión. Se conoce como hexápodo; es básicamente un trípode pero cada pata tiene dos pistones. Así que tiene seis ejes de libertad. Será algo que no sólo pueda hacer lo que hacen los lowriders, sino acortar o alargar su distancia entre ejes y saltar hacia delante, hacia atrás o de un lado a otro. En una situación off-road podría rodar a toda velocidad hacia un barranco y luego saltar a través de él.

• I have a tendency to go through my life at full speed and as a one-man band, and so I don't generally stop and take in other people enough to develop many relationships. I'm starting to regret that a bit. I want to change it.

• Teaching literature is teaching how to read. How to notice things in a text that a speed-reading culture is trained to disregard, overcome, edit out, or explain away; how to read what the language is doing, not guess what the author was thinking; how to take evidence from a page, not seek a reality to substitute for it.

• Max [Landis] writes in quite a heightened way, specifically for Dirk. There's a rhythm and a specific speed to it, and it was very easy to learn because it was so well-written. It just rolled off the tongue. There aren't many auditions that I go for, where I feel like I could actually do the part. But with this one, even though I was not quite sure how to pin Dirk down, I thought I could do it.

• La esencia del transporte aéreo es la velocidad y, por desgracia, la velocidad es uno de los productos más caros del mundo, principalmente debido a la desproporcionada cantidad de potencia necesaria para alcanzar una gran velocidad y elevar cargas a miles de metros de altura. Esto queda ilustrado por el hecho de que, mientras que un buque de carga, un tren de mercancías y un avión de transporte están equipados con motores de unos 2.500 CV cada uno, el buque puede transportar una carga de unas 7.000 toneladas, el tren 800 toneladas y el avión sólo dos toneladas y media.

• I balance my natural drive for speed and impact with a counterbalancing drive for significance, innovation and sustained customer intimacy. This involves slowing down and moving from transactive management, which focuses on speed, content, accuracy and productivity, to transformative leadership, which focuses on significance, context, authenticity and purpose. This critical shift requires constant diligence, discipline and practice.

• To experience thinking outside the brain is to enter a world of instantaneous connections that make ordinary thinking (i.e those aspects limited by the physical brain and the speed of light_ seem like some hopelessly sleepy and plodding event. Our truest, deepest self is completely free. It is not crippled or compromised by past actions or concerned with identity or status. It comprehends that it has no need to fear the earthly world, and therefore, it has no need to build itself up through fame or wealth or conquest.

• El béisbol es una vuelta a casa. Es un viaje mediante el robo y la fuerza, la astucia y la velocidad, alrededor de la primera isla hasta la isla lejana de la segunda, donde los enemigos acechan en los arrecifes y el mar verde de repente se hace más profundo, para luego girar bruscamente, rozando los bajíos, hacia una orilla que mostrará una cara amiga, un color, un idioma familiar y, en la tercera, proceder, ya no por caminos indirectos sino rectos, hacia casa.

• It is utterly soothing to fly fish for trout. All other considerations or worries drift away and you couldn't keep them close if you wanted. Perhaps it's standing thigh deep in a river with the water passing at the exact but varying speed of life. You easily recognize this mortality and it dissipates into the landscape.

• EA called my agency and made us an offer and I was really enthusiastic about this, really excited to do it. I had Need for Speed: Underground already, the first one. And I'm a bit of a gamer, and definitely car enthusiast, so I've done a lot of things to my cars that people can do in this game. Everything from after-market kits to styling them, exteriorly with wheels, rims, and kits. You name it I have some fun doin' that.
