Football is all about fans.

Anything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, I’m fully behind.

I love movement. I love moshing.

I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

I’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.

Yes, it is one of my ultimate aims – it is the ultimate sense of football: to make the people happy, to let them live some emotions that you usually can’t get.

We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others.

Unless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. It makes me happy, and it’s what I live for.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.

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

When I’m in the studio, I’m looking for creativity I haven’t matched yet, a feeling I haven’t felt. It’s a high.

I loved what I did. I could’ve been secretary of state for ever.

It’s important to love in hip hop.

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent.

In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.

I love story songs because I’ve always loved books.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents‘ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

I idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.

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

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

I don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. 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 didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of – I wouldn’t call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.

After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

I’m proud to be an actor. See, as an actor, you live longer. Football players, the brain and all that stuff, ooh-eee, that’s not good.

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.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

When you are in good form, you keep hitting the target. You may have the best match but you may still not have the goals. But scoring is most important and it feels so good that I have been knocking them in. It really boosts the morale.

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.

My passion is bringing storylines around and constructing a full body of work rather than just a 16-bar verse.

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

I’m just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.

Bobby Knight told me this: ‚There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.‘ In other words a good offense wins.

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

I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.

It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances.

I feel like people can relate to me because we all go through wins and roadblocks and passion and pain, and it’s a vibe.

We’re just enthusiastic about what we do.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world.

I think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.

Nothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.

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

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.
