My GRANDFATHER was smart and had a whole LOT of pride. He didn't speak a terrible amount, but you could tell there was a ton on his mind - LIKE a QUIET acceptance of how LIFE had turned out.

You'll NEVER have a quiet WORLD till you knock the patriotism out of the human RACE.

I was FASCINATED by all of it. The SOUNDS of the theater and the audience, their rapture when a play took over and MOVED them and held them quietly... When the audience was truly moved, it was absolutely quiet. They were in a communion because they were learning the TRUTH about themselves.

I have a REAL PROBLEM with STILLNESS. With just STOPPING and being QUIET.

My mother's side taught me to be a little BIT afraid of everything. For a long time, I was QUIET and cautious. But shyness MAKES you notice other people's excruciations and feel for them. I think that made a WRITER of me.

China is not to be won for Christ by QUIET, ease-loving MEN and WOMEN... The stamp of men and women we need is such as will put JESUS, China, souls first and foremost in everything and at every time - even LIFE itself must be secondary.

I expect to beat EVERYBODY I PLAY. It's kind of that quiet confidence that I have inside that I try to present to the opponent without getting too overboard. Because there are times when I SEEM COMPOSED, but inside I'm losing my mind.

I was always very quiet, and I think everyone THOUGHT that was because I was a GOOD child. I'd SIT there in SILENCE, but it wasn't until my mother was calling me one day when I was very young that she realised something was wrong because I wasn't responding.

I watch television all the TIME, mostly PBS and OLD movies like 'The Quiet MAN,' my favorite Wayne movie. It's marvelous. I just loved the man and STILL do.

Some of the most POWERFUL TIMES are when we're QUIET.

When I'm in L.A., I KIND of go CRAZY in the MIDDLE of the night when it's, LIKE, completely quiet.

I THINK there is a very QUIET POWER in THINGS that are not on SCREEN.

Parrots have GONE a BIT QUIET SINCE PIRATES have gone.

My quiet PLACE is in the gym. When I feel like going to CHURCH, it's for me the MSG training facility and WORKING on my GAME.

When I was 5 years old, I was coming up the STAIRS, and I saw my mom standing there, SINGING 'A Quiet Thing' a cappella, and it was such a differentiating MOMENT for me. I realized that we are SEPARATE from each other - she has DREAMS and goals.
