‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

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.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

One reason I don’t want to play in England again is because we don’t have any personalities.

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.

We’re not going to go 82-0 and blow everybody out. We are going to be challenged.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.

In those days, the early 1980s, TV and film were interchangeable.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

‚Be Cool‘ was a defining movie for me.

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.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

The last game I played in college was in the NIT against St. Mary’s. That was the first time I had come to the Oakland area. So, the last game I played in college and the first game of my NBA career were out here in the Bay Area. It’s pretty cool.

The men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody – like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger – and I thought, ‚That can be me.‘ So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn’t realize back then that I was having a defining moment.

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

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

I’m not Russell Crowe. I’m not going to do a period piece.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

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

When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don’t get hit very often.

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

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

People say that I’m a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.

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.

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.

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.

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

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

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

If someone told me I could play two Asian Cup finals, I wouldn’t have believed it.

The more minutes you play and the more grind and physical play you endure through the course of a season, you have to re-charge and get your body right for the next season. Be in that weight room and conditioning and that kind of deal.

I think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

Today, Negroes play on every big league club and in every minor league. With millions of other Negroes in other walks of life, we are willing to stand up and be counted for what we believe in. In baseball or out, we are no longer willing to wait until Judgment Day for equality – we want it here on earth as well as in Heaven.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I’m in a world of my own.

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

A boy’s story is the best that is ever told.

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

I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

I don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.

A lifetime contract for a coach means if you’re ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can’t fire you.

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

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

Some people, through luck and skill, end up with a lot of assets. If you’re good at kicking a ball, writing software, investing in stocks, it pays extremely well.

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

There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against – Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.

If you look at me in ‚Ride Along,‘ even though I’m playing two different characters, my demeanor and my tone were not aggressive.

In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.

Yes, I’m always – I’m always surprised when you make a film and you live with it a while and you put it out, you never dream that anybody is ever going to want to really see it.

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.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

In that film, the man and the part met. As far as I’m concerned, that part is Greg’s for life. I’ve had many, many offers to turn it into musicals, into TV or stage plays, but I’ve always refused.

Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited – that has music and rhythm and time.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

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.

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

If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.
