I am tough, but deep inside my toughness, I like to let people know I’m an old-fashioned mama’s boy.
Mr. TActually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dolly PartonWhen I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.
Jackie RobinsonI hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that’s too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.
RihannaI got my buzz from playing.
George BestThe statesman’s duty is to bridge the gap between his nation’s experience and his vision.
Henry KissingerI probably would have retired years ago if I hadn’t found interesting things to do.
Clint EastwoodIf all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was ‚satisfactory,‘ I would have no hope of ever getting better. How would I know who was the best? How would I know what I was doing differently?
Bill GatesGeorge is a radio announcer, and when he walks under a bridge… you can’t hear him talk.
Steven WrightI can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.

Jerry SeinfeldI like talking. I like acting.
Denzel WashingtonI don’t race cars.
Dwayne JohnsonAs for hobbies, I don’t really read or watch TV.

Lando NorrisI always want to create and do things, or draw.
Billie EilishI don’t profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
David BowieI like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki MurakamiI like my fair share of board games.
Sunil ChhetriA lot of people like to do certain things, but they’re not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.
George LucasI like making things. I don’t like getting my picture taken.
Mark ZuckerbergThe youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Henry David ThoreauI listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.
Billie EilishIt is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.

Virat KohliI don’t like to be bored.
John KennedyI mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.
Christopher HitchensI have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.
Bill GatesI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiOne aim of the Boy Scouts scheme is to revive amongst us, if possible, some of the rules of the knights of old.
Robert Baden-PowellI think everybody has something that they’ve been obsessed about in their lifetime.
Clint EastwoodThe difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.

Jerry SeinfeldMy biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
Joel OsteenI have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.
Tom BradyIf your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
Marilyn MonroeVideo games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don’t do that.
Ray BradburyYou can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. LewisI used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I’d have a hairy conniption. I’d just go crazy.
Jim CarreyI have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.
J. ColeWe will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheMaybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.
Tom Brady
