My daughter learned to say, 'They're not even trying to cover!' before her second birthday.

Parenting is much more nerve-wracking than 'Jeopardy!'

Getting onto 'Jeopardy!' was a pet project my whole life, so it was something I was willing to work really hard on.

As a general rule, the less time a bookmaker has to set his odds the softer the odds are going to be.

The last real job I had I was 16-years-old slinging fried chicken in my hometown of Naperville, Ill.

The aggressive betting on the daily doubles is one of my trademarks.

I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.

Mime is in our daily life and with little effort, we can all perfect the art form.

For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.

We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.

The dull routine of our daily job takes on a new significance, assumes a beauty and importance undreamt of before, if we consider it from the angle of service to God.

But my most favourite pursuit, after my daily exertions at the Foundry, was Astronomy. There were frequently clear nights when the glorious objects in the Heavens were seen in most attractive beauty and brilliancy.
