I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
In an outgoing transition, you start closing the books on today and start working for the history books.
I realize that I'm in the twilight of my career.
I directed the next-to-last episode of 'Parenthood.' I wrote three of the four last episodes. I had the cast to my house. Had a champagne toast with the writers. Had a huge cast and crew party. Drank eggnog in the camera truck after we wrapped the final day. All that, and I don't really feel like I've said good-bye to 'Parenthood.'
I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.
Now it was coming to an end, and it was like he was watching the last flicker of light wink out in the darkness of an endless tunnel.
The greatest hits in some weird way marks the end of something.

Live albums are very important for Rush, and they became sort of a closing chapter for us.
I had every intention of 'Bloodflowers' being the last Cure record. I thought it would be fantastic to finish with the best thing we'd ever done, but I wasn't sure we could pull it off.
We'll see if we ever do another Ministry gig again or not. I'm not saying yes or no yet. All I'm saying is I know there's no new Ministry studio CDs coming ever again. I promise.
It's been a great run. I've done everything I can do announcing wise.
My final fight was called 'Unfinished Business' - and I finished it.
No athlete ever ends his or her career the way you want to. We all want to play forever. But it doesn't work that way. Accepting the end gracefully is part of being a professional athlete.
When I found out this was going to be the last 'Star Wars' film that was ever going to be made, I felt pretty privileged to be in it.
I know that all good things must come to an end and I've had an incredible ride. I just want to end it on the right note.
Many writers tend to write summing-up books at the end of their lives.
There's no future for New Order.
The practice days, the walkthroughs, the bus rides - all those things you can't come back to. When you are getting into Year 15, you think about it. This thing is going to come to an end at some point.
We meet today To thank Thee for the era done, And Thee for the opening one.
