I am hitting my head against the walls, but the walls are giving way.
To me, hitting the ball in the air means hitting a line drive, and I hit far more balls in the air.
In the 1980s when I was growing up in the Berkshire town of Maidenhead I was heavily into tennis. It was the era of Borg and McEnroe. I used to spend hours hitting balls against a wall, imagining I was beating them both.
I first started out by hitting a ball against a wall when I was four.
One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard.
Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls; they don't demolish them.
It's no secret that I'm a fan of hitting a lot of balls.
I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II.

There is no such thing as a natural golfer but you become one by hitting thousands of balls
Early on, when I first started acting professionally, it was really important for me to get my parents on board, because they were so against it.
With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.
I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.
After hitting two balls into the water- By God, I've got a good mind to jump in and make it four.
When I'm tired, I like to go and do drills where you catch tennis balls off walls. Different colors use different hands, and you've got to react to those types of things at different angles. I do all these crazy reaction-time things or reaction skills with tennis balls every morning, or at least four times a week.
My music, it's hitting the real people. It's hitting the mums, it's hitting the blokes and the lads, it's also hitting the kids and the people my age.
