When they told me I had to have a heart operation, my main memory is standing in my kitchen and thinking what I would really miss was my little tea towel. Not for one minute did I think, 'Oh, I'm going to really miss performing.' The things you're going to miss are your wife, your egg cup, your seat that you sit in to watch TV.
A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
I'm not a career kind of person. When I saw new music, new trends coming in, I didn't see any place for me. And I didn't think about it as a career loss, because I was married - I have a great- grandchild now. The low points were when I lost people that I really cared about.
Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.
I realize now that people are not thinking about you and me or caring what is said about us. They are thinking about themselves-before breakfast, after breakfast, and right on until ten minutes past midnight. They would be a thousand times more concerned about a slight headache of their own than they would about the news of your death or mine.
I don’t have to live with the American People, but I do have to live with Lou (his wife).
I won't play past 30. Why? I want to - I don't know - start a family, live life.
The only two things that I think about in life is my family and golf. That's all I want to think about.
I work to live, not live to work, so my head's at home, not in some showbiz life.
Maybe I'll make one movie a year, maybe two, but it's not going to be more than that because I have other priorities now.
Without a doubt, priority No. 1 is always my family. Whether it's my children or my husband or even my girlfriends who are also my family, I put them first no matter what. And it makes it easy to then juggle everything else because it's never a question.
My first priority is my family. I am human. But my whole family knows what my priority is. Family is always first. But my work is under nothing else, except God.
Luckily because I had a family and children, my priorities changed. I mean, I'm very passionate about my work but I have other interests and other things that balance my life.
At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.
Just like any other human being is concerned about his or her personal life, I also need to think about my personal life.
Once I finish shooting, I head straight home and spend time with my family. It's only when I have to promote my films that I make public appearances.
I think your significant other should be way more important than your work. Personally, I love working. I don't know that I'd say I'm a workaholic because I also love maxing and relaxing.
If you asked me which gives me more joy, my work or my family, there is no question that it's my family. Hands down. If I had to give one up, it wouldn't even be a contest.
So I delegate a lot and I make my family come first, my husband and our kids.
If I had done some of the movies that I was offered as an actor - and very good movies, by the way, and some of them big moneymakers - I don't know that I ever would have taken what was the concentration or the time to do the movies that I produced. 'Reds' is a good example, but 'Shampoo' is also an example, and so was 'Heaven Can Wait.'
Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That's what's important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.
People are looking around. They are looking to do something with their time and money. The question is, what?
Golf is not my priority. I would hope people see me as a Christian man who loved his family, who loved being in the heat of competition and sometimes succeeded at it; who understood that golf was his job and that he was very lucky to play it for a living.
Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
I'm a pretty boring person. I have a dog that I love, and friends that I love, and a family that I love. I'm just trying to spend as much time with them as I can.
