‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

‚Unforgiven‘ is probably an example of a script that I liked right away but thought, ‚This is great, but I’d like to do this when I’m older.‘ So I stuck it in the drawer for ten years and then took it out.

In T20, you don’t have time to get distracted – it’s so quick, you have to run around in the field, and while batting, you don’t actually think about anything else.

Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. I don’t move fast, but I just keep moving.

You can say that 2016 was my finest. It went well for the national team, started by winning the SAFF Cup, we reached the finals of AFC Cup, we reached the semis of ISL. I think it was a fruitful season.

When I was in Portugal I hardly played six-or-seven matches. Although I would train daily to keep my shape. Even then it was really difficult when I came back to get in shape and represent my country.

The skin of my character in ‚The Man Who Fell to Earth‘ was some concoction, a spermatozoon of an alien nature that was obscene and weird-looking.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

So like any football or basketball coach, you always always believe you’re going to win.

I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

In Dortmund, they say the derby is more important than the championship. You can feel it around the game.

You see the film, you might be entertained, and if it’s not a great film, it loses its power very quickly. I think even simply acceptable books stay with us a lot longer.

In my heart, I am always a Raider.

If you watch any good player, they’re using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They’re moving in many dimensions at once.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you – but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

I never got into training to be an All-Ireland boxing champ or to win a belt. At the start, I just got into it to learn how to defend myself when I got into situations.

When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

Even if soccer is not number one in the United States, they do things very well here. There’s much our country can learn from the U.S.A., because we all know that soccer is not the main game in India. We can still do more things, like provide better facilities for the players so they can perform well.

Football in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and ‚play the game,‘ and these are the best of training for any game of life.

I signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.

I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.

My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest – and everybody agreed rugby was. It’s a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ‚em out, I pick the round.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you’re young, you can’t play enough.

I used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.

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

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

The only film I’ve enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in ‚The Wrestler.‘

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

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

If you look at ‚Blade Runner,‘ it’s been cut sixteen ways from Sunday, and there are all kinds of different versions of it.

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.

The worst thing is for a player to come to a club and not be able to play.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

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

When I used to play sports, I’d be the one cheering the team on, ‚Come on, we can beat these guys!‘ That’s just in me.

A boy’s story is the best that is ever told.

You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned? Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.

I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

If you look at me in ‚Ride Along,‘ even though I’m playing two different characters, my demeanor and my tone were not aggressive.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

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

I used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

I don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.
