In my heart, I am always a Raider.

All I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it – no matter where it is.

When I was a kid, I never thought much about football. I thought about following in my family’s footsteps and going into professional wrestling.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

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

It seemed like a very small possibility for me to become an artist. I didn’t have the need to be on the stage; I didn’t feel the need to be heard. I just needed to write.

In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years.

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.

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I’m not going to lie; listen, I’m nice at basketball.

You know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

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.

I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don’t just want to possess it, it will find you.

Personally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.

To me, it’s OK to have differences. But we don’t have to be mad about it. You know? And I think that’s where sometimes we get so passionate that we – you know, it turns into anger.

Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

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

I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn’t care what kind of movies I made.

What I cry out for, like every being, with my whole life and all my earthly passion, is something very different from an equal to cherish: it is a God to adore.

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.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961.

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

If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

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.

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

We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

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.

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.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

Music is really driving my whole life.

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

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

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

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down.

Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

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.

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

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

Nothing extraordinary happens to a cricketer if you time his career – which is very short.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

Man is only great when he acts from passion.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

I am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.

I love to dance, but my children tell me I shouldn’t. Can’t see why.

Puerto Rico’s relationship with music is everything. It’s an island full of talent and if you grow up there, you grow up living and breathing music.

If you wish to be a writer, write.

When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.

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

I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.

I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world.

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

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It’s rage, it’s creativity, it’s pain, it’s hurt, but it’s the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
