Football is unconditional love.

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.

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

I am in the fighting game. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t watch the news, I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.

It’s in my blood to be around people while I was training.

An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.

Once I get on a puzzle, I can’t get off.

I like being a writer.

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

I believe in a passion for inclusion.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

If a leader doesn’t convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they’ll start to fall down and get depressed.

That’s what you live for as a sportsman. You have to put up a fight.

My biggest competitor was my mum. I used to try to beat her at Chinese chequers, chess, carrom, volleyball, badminton, football, wrestling.

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

I’ve taken countless shots in my life, so you know the ones when you’re in rhythm, with a perfect release, and it’s on track, that it’s going in.

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

The law is reason, free from passion.

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.

I’m just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

I love food.

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.

The old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.

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.

On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.

I play piano and ukulele, and I taught myself those things just because I wanted to play them.

I always want to create and do things, or draw.

Talking to a player helps, but in our sport the majority of learning happens from watching another player. You pick up things like being punctual, being nice to everyone, making sure you give your 100 per cent even in training.

I can understand how some people might resent me for having the audacity to continue playing music, but it’d take a lot more than that to stop me from doing it. I started Foo Fighters because I didn’t want to retreat.

The immigration issue is, I recognize, one that generates a lot of passion, but it does not make sense for us to want to push talent out.

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

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

Alternative R&B is in my soul. It’s not going anywhere.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It’s not a job, it’s a passion. When you become good at it, it’s a dream job and financially you need never to worry. Ever.

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.

You just don’t wake up one day and decide that you need to write songs.

I’m just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God… If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

I can’t make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I’m gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo – you can never get away from it.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

I’m really interested in smells. I think I’d like to own a perfumery someday.

Sometimes I’ve called writing a disease. If so, I’m glad that it caught me.

Art is man’s expression of his joy in labor.

I’ve married somebody who I knew for 14 years. So, I’m just living with a friend. All through my ups and downs in football, from winning the I-League to losing the ISL final, she has been a source of great support.

I didn’t play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.

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.

I don’t have a vast longing for the stage.

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

At the end of the day, who I really and truly am is a little girl who loved to play the piano.

I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
