I don't put on my best clothes to make a film, my Sunday best.
It's not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That's not a problem at all.
People tell me I saved hundreds and hundreds of people. But I have to tell you: it’s not the people you saved that you remember. It’s the ones you couldn’t save. Those are the ones you talk about. Those are the faces and situations that stay with you forever.
When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit. Some are excellent, filled with hoorah and first-class warriors. A few are absolutely horrible; most are somewhere in between. In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.
It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
Despite what your momma told you, Violence does solve problems.
I don't know if I'm the best of the best. But I did know that if I quit, I wouldn't be.
I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.
Lo, what huge heaps of littleness around!
Never laugh at those who suffer; suffer sometimes those who laugh.
It's very expensive to be me. It's terrible the things I have to do to be me.
