Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

I 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.

A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.

A 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.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.

You’re not just voting for an individual, in my judgment, you’re voting for an agenda. You’re voting for a platform. You’re voting for a political philosophy.

I do my job like I breathe.

Where quality is the thing sought after, the thing of supreme quality is cheap, whatever the price one has to pay for it.

If you made me the national commissioner of football, I’d tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.

Van Gogh never made a penny in his entire lifetime. He painted because it was his soul, his excitement. It was what aligned him with his Source of being. It’s the same with me and writing.

The only passion that guides me is for the truth… I look at everything from this point of view.

I love being in a courtroom.

We love things we love what they are.

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

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

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.

I really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.

In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

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

I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.

Those who know me know I’m passionate about lists, and top of my list of priorities is my family. My wife Joan and I do not consider our legacy to our children to be wealth or fame but the opportunity to pursue happiness by following their own path.

Football is big business – you can’t get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.

Ordinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.

Never put your money against Cassius Clay, for you will never have a lucky day.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I’d love that. But I don’t need to be. I just want to be here. That’s it.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

The world is full of people with different characters and temperaments. We all have a dark side, a tendency to manipulate, and aggressive desires. The most dangerous types are those who repress their desires or deny the existence of them, often acting them out in the most underhanded ways.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

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.

Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.

The more minutes you play and the more grind and physical play you endure through the course of a season, you have to re-charge and get your body right for the next season. Be in that weight room and conditioning and that kind of deal.

Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all.

I love making movies, but there’s nothing like performing live.

It’s very fun to be the hunter of the sounds. The hunter of the right energy. And it’s not really about if every sound is correct; it’s more the energy – if it hits you in some way, it doesn’t really matter to me if it’s not perfect. I’m still very excited while hunting for songs.

Our numbers have increased in Vietnam because the aggression of others has increased in Vietnam. There is not, and there will not be, a mindless escalation.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

It’s hard work making movies. It’s like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it’s emotional, tense work. If you don’t really love it, then it ain’t worth it.

Art is not a thing; it is a way.

To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I’m always, like, just in it. It’s like, ‚Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I’m so happy.‘

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

The next MVP of the Super Bowl is just as likely to have been a full-time grocery store bagger last year as a Heisman Trophy winner.

Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television… I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.

I believe in singing.

Films and television and even comic books are churning out vast quantities of fictional narratives, and the public continues to swallow them up with great passion. That is because human beings need stories.
