Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.

I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.

I’ve experienced great things, I’ve experienced great tragedies. I’ve done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there’s more.

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side… It has revealed to us much about man’s shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

In order to fulfill the aspirations of masses, we have to sharpen the tool called the government machinery: we have to make it keen, more dynamic, and it is in this direction that we are working.

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

I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar’s life. That is something I’m looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.

I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written… Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn’t have much of a social life going on.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

We murdered them 0-0.

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.

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

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

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

What is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.

If I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate.

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

When I look back at what I had to go through in black baseball, I can only marvel at the many black players who stuck it out for years in the Jim Crow leagues because they had nowhere else to go.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

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.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.

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.

If I’d just tried for them dinky singles I could’ve batted around .600.

I didn’t tell any of my friends that I wanted to be a comedian, because I was superstitious. I thought if I told people, it wouldn’t happen. So I kept it all in my head for years and years.

I don’t know about the 2026 World Cup. But I would love to see Anirudh Thapa sending a cross to Jhingan and I would love to watch it from the stands.

When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.

I always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn’t, thank God.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

I’m dying to be a great dad one day, whenever that day comes.

Fighting football, not serenity football – that is what I like.

I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who’s been successful at another college program, they’re going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

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.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

If Tiger Woods had played football, he would have been a quarterback.

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.

Joe Frazier got hit more than me – and he doesn’t have Parkinson’s.

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

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.

Lot of players lose hope because of lack of motivation.

Like so many American families, our families weren’t asking for much. They didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.

I wasn’t a kid growing up thinking, ‚One day I’ll get an Oscar and make a speech.‘ That wasn’t on my mind.

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

I don’t really focus on these things – on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field – stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.

When I was five, I think, that’s when I started wanting to be an actress. I loved to play. I didn’t like the world around me because it was kind of grim, but I loved to play house. It was like you could make your own boundaries.

I always dreamt of holding the bat and winning games for India. That was my inspiration to take up cricket.

But I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.

They used to call me ‚Touchdown T.‘ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‚I’m going to run for three touchdowns.‘ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

I want to be part of that long list who have achieved great things with McLaren, won races and championships.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

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.

You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.
