Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

I’m in the game of spinning plates. I’m spinning a boxing plate. I’m spinning a Tae Kwon Do plate. I’m spinning a Jujitsu plate. I’m spinning a freestyle wrestling plate. I’m spinning a karate plate. If I was to put all them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my shoulders.

I learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.

We murdered them 0-0.

Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

I like playing. I wouldn’t be a good coach. I don’t have the patience to be a coach.

Football is all about fans.

The last game I played in college was in the NIT against St. Mary’s. That was the first time I had come to the Oakland area. So, the last game I played in college and the first game of my NBA career were out here in the Bay Area. It’s pretty cool.

Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.

The secret to humor is surprise.

Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.

I saw 14 games in two and a half months at Churchill. It was what I really signed for. They were eyeing the championship and also playing the AFC Cup. So I am very thankful for Churchill, the coaching staff and the players.

There should be a point to movies. Sure, you’re giving people a diversion from the cold world for a bit, but at the same time, you pass on some facts and rules and maybe a little bit of wisdom.

Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.

I’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.

A lot of times, you could play me just the laughs from my set, and I could tell you, from the laugh, what the joke was. Because they match.

I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

My shows are not narratives.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

I noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.

One of the powerful temptations is that of the cinema palace. The cinema has undoubtedly an enormous attraction for boys, and people are constantly cudgelling their brains how to stop it. But it is one of those things which would be very difficult to stop even if it were altogether desirable.

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.

I don’t like to be bored.

The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

I was very honored to get to be part of ‚American Idol.‘

Nobody enjoys the ‚little show about nothing‘ humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.

It obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn’t a level playing field.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.

I sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.

If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.

I have plenty of money, unlike other Hollywood celebrities or athletes that have not invested well.

Stand-up comedy is mine: it’s my entity; it’s my brand; I own it. I do it when I want to do it.

Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.

I’m committed to the fight game.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party.

Everyone loves a win in India. No one wants to lose a match. It is the cricketer who absorbs all the pressure.

I’m a showgirl, as you can tell. I’m ever ready.

Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.

The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

In England, you have stadiums in the middle of the city.

One reason I don’t want to play in England again is because we don’t have any personalities.

Without sounding biased, 70 days of football is not enough. Even if Messi plays 70 days he cannot be in the national team. You need to play around the year to be in contention for the national team.

I don’t know how the rap game is, because I’m a fan of reality, and the rap game’s entertainment.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

I saw ‚Magic Mike,‘ and I thought it was great.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

I love performing, you know, because, like I say, I’m a ham for this stuff.

I enjoy acting when you really hit it right.

You entertain people who are satisfied. Hungry people can’t be entertained – or people who are afraid. You can’t entertain a man who has no food.
