I admire writers who succeed at what I consider the first demand of art: that the artist vivisect himself without pity, without hesitation, determined to reveal whatever he might find.
I admire writers such as Elmore Leonard who can nail a character in three or four lines of dialogue, so he doesn't need pages of back story or clumsy exposition.
I admire what you have achieved at Microsoft. You, Mr. Bill Gates, are a friend of China, and I'm a friend of Microsoft.
I admire what she's done in the sport. She came out and had to fight her way in. She kicked the door open - 'Not only are we going to be here, we're going to win, so get used to it.' Now it's normal. This is not an issue in drag racing.
I admire what he does. He's a quality individual and a Hall of Fame pitcher.
I admire tough guys. All around, he's a great quarterback. He makes plays when he has to. He's pretty much the complete package. So I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two of us. He's leading a school with great tradition and so am I.
I admire the work he does off the field as well, especially in Calcutta, and I'm sure people back home would be wishing well for him.
I admire the way (the Panthers) play and how smart they play defensively.
I admire the way he lives his life,
I admire the moguls of the game. The Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones and P. Diddys of the world. They have done things that affected our culture, and I want to do the same thing.
