I was a weedy kid not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.

One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky most little boys were trying to get into sports and it was very competitive so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

It is a law of human nature that in victory even the coward may boast of his prowess while defeat injures the reputation even of the brave.

People of small caliber are always carping. They are bent on showing their own superiority their knowledge or prowess or good breeding.

Our film examines the heroism courage and prowess of the Soviet submarine force in ways never seen before.
