“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions.

—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
