When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.

George LucasI mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.

Sunil ChhetriGeorge is a radio announcer, and when he walks under a bridge… you can’t hear him talk.

Bill GatesI love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.
RihannaI always want to create and do things, or draw.
Billie EilishI’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.
