In BOXING, I had a LOT of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I THOUGHT, 'This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for'. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.

Language is handy, but we humans have SOCIAL and EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS that transcend words and are communicated - and UNDERSTOOD - WITHOUT conscious thought.

But if I thought on it, I would like to be remembered as a brother who LOVED his PEOPLE and did EVERYTHING that I knew to FIGHT for them, the liberation of our people.

I THOUGHT I COULD, and thought I WOULD, swim a lot quicker - MUCH quicker.

I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything ELSE when I was in my early 30's. Most of the PEOPLE who wrote that who THOUGHT they were younger than me are now BALD and wrinkled.

When I come to WORK each day, WHETHER as a COMMENTATOR for TheStreet.com or a host of Mad Money With Jim Cramer, I have only one thought in mind: HELPING people with their money.

All MORNING they WATCHED for the plane which they thought would be looking for them. They CURSED war in general and PTs in PARTICULAR. At about ten o'clock the hulk heaved a moist sigh and turned turtle.

I've never done anything because I THOUGHT it WOULD LOOK cool.

I think with '10 THINGS I Hate About You,' I was an angsty teenager, and in some ways, I responded to that character. That was one of my first big JOBS, so I think MAYBE I lucked out, and CASTING thought that I was a good MATCH for it. Since then, as I've gotten older, I'm a much more happy, joyful, almost carefree person.

While I THOUGHT that I was LEARNING how to LIVE, I have been learning how to DIE.

People MAGAZINE had been around for a SHORT period of TIME, but nobody had thought about putting entertainment news on a nightly basis on TELEVISION.

When I GOT SOBER, I thought giving up was SAYING GOODBYE to all the FUN and all the sparkle, and it turned out to be just the opposite. That's when the sparkle started for me.

I have NEVER thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of FINDING the right person.

I'm essentially the result of other people's imagination. And that's fine. Because of other people's imagination, I've PLAYED parts I would never have THOUGHT I could do. Still, I've never had a hankering or an AMBITION for any particular ROLE.
