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

I know my serve stinks, but I was a pretty good tennis player.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

I never wanted to stay in one genre; I never wanted to be pigeon-holed or defined as the actor who only worked in one genre. I want to be able to work in all different genres. For me it’s fun, and that’s how I grow as an actor.

When I’m getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.

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’m committed to the fight game.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

‚This guy’s a clown! He’s just all talk!‘ I’ve heard that many times in my career. And then they’re sleeping in the middle of the octagon.

There’s something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.

The kids are a big part of my schedule.

I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they’re actresses or singers or things like that.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.

I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

Friends are thieves of time.

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

When I signed up for BFC, then-coach Ashley Westwood wanted me to play on the left as an attacking midfielder. I was not sure initially but I believed in his vision. For the first six-seven games, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I was like a headless chicken. But he kept backing me.

Obviously this song is an achievement for me in my career, but what makes me really feel good is to make Latinos feel proud. To provoke that pride that a pop figure and someone so big in music globally like Drake would sing with me completely in Spanish and create this hit ‚MIA.‘ That’s the best part of it.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

If you’re living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.

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

In this knowledge-worker age, it’s now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs – so the pressure to do well is really high.

After the first day of practice, there’s not one guy who’s playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it just hurts.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

Spend more time in study and prayer. That’s the secret of successful evangelism.

To a man of pleasure every moment appears to be lost, which partakes not of the vivacity of amusement.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.

Never get married in college; it’s hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you’ve already made one mistake.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

When I won the Golden Gloves in 1960, that made me realize I had a chance. And when I won at the Olympics, that sealed it: I was the champ.

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

I’ve actually not read any books on time management.

One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

My game is really played above time. I don’t say that like I’m saying I’m ahead of my time. I’m saying, like, if I’m on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I’ve thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that’s the right place to go to.

A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.

There is nothing more requisite in business than despatch.

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

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

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

As long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up; his fights were always on in my house.

All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.

A lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

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.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

I just don’t have time to get old!

Women can’t do everything at the same time, we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

I failed to make the chess team because of my height.

I have no time to think about other writers. I am too busy with my own problems.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

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