The more you practice, the better you get, the more freedom you have to create.

I’m always hungry to score.

In business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count like customer satisfaction and performance… you thrive on that.

My grandfather was one of the very, very first, if not the first, Samoan wrestlers to become known on a worldwide basis.

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

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

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

February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned.

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people.

I have worked hard since my childhood and worked as a labourer. I put my mind and heart into it.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

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.

On ‚Grey’s Anatomy‘ I wouldn’t care what I was playing – I would play a corpse, ‚cause I love it that much. It is deep true love, and it will never die.

When you learn about the teaching and the practice of another tradition, you always have a chance to understand your own teaching and practice.

It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

I’m not actually a very keen performer. I like putting shows together. I like putting events together. In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it’s the recording or the performance side.

There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.

One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.

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.

I learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.

I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there’s no pressure, then I’m not in the perfect zone.

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

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

I’m committed to the people of Gujarat. I will devote each and every moment to serve my people of Gujarat.

I had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.

I’m sure everyone knows now that only a few have performed in Madison Square Garden. That list is so small. Now I’m on that list. I’m a part of a very small group, which is unbelievable. You relish in that moment for a second.

If you watch any good player, they’re using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They’re moving in many dimensions at once.

I’d just as soon play tennis with the net down.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

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

Oh, 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.

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?

When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.

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

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

They’ll forget all the rubbish when I’ve gone, and they’ll remember the football. If only one person thinks I’m the best player in the world, that’s good enough for me.

I just figured out that if I gave my all into this game – if I put everything into the fight business – then I would eventually run the fight business.

I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I’d put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don’t have to do that, because catchers‘ mitts are more like first baseman’s gloves.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument – learning to do your craft – that’s the most important thing! It’s not about what goes on in a computer!

At Real, psychological pressure on the players is much more serious than at United. This is good. At many clubs, you don’t know the consequence of playing badly.

Working with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.

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

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

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

A man will turn over half a library to make one book.
