I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.
Tom BradyWhatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

Henry AdamsI guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer.
Lady GagaWhen I’m really interested in something, I get superfocused on that. And I can spend hours upon hours not getting tired of reading about it and still be interested to learn more about it.
Greta ThunbergYou don’t come into cooking to get rich.
Gordon RamsayLet’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.
Bob UeckerI think, generally, I just cannot really envision life without writing and producing records and singing.
David BowieBasketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That’s what’s important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.
LeBron JamesI just was never into performing. It’s just hard work. It’s hard work.
Abby Lee MillerI have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
Albert EinsteinGreat ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.
Napoleon BonaparteI’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.
Kevin GatesFootball changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.
Dwayne JohnsonI would say that jazz is my own language.
Amy WinehouseAny time an investment company has to spend heavily on advertising, it’s probably a bad business in which to invest.
Robert KiyosakiI’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.
David ByrneControl thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.
EpictetusDo not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David ThoreauI never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.
Kurt CobainIt’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
Margaret ThatcherIt doesn’t matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.
Bad BunnyI don’t control my writing – it controls me.
Ray BradburyThere is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George EliotBecoming a writer is not a ‚career decision‘ like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don’t choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you’re not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.
Paul AusterDon’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.
John D. RockefellerLet me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.
George WashingtonNothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.
The WeekndAnd die of nothing but a rage to live.
Alexander PopeCompetitions are a business, first and foremost.
Abby Lee MillerWe should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.
Jurgen KloppGreat teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamFootball fans share a universal language that cuts across many cultures and many personality types. A serious football fan is never alone. We are legion, and football is often the only thing we have in common.
Hunter S. ThompsonI’ve always been a singer. I never really decided I was gonna be a singer. It just kind of – I just sung a lot.
Billie EilishI write for the same reason I breathe – because if I didn’t, I would die.
Isaac AsimovI wanted to write.
Christopher HitchensI was probably the first footballer ever to have a pop-star profile, and my agent was right when he said we could put my name on stair rods and sell them to people in bungalows.
George BestI am in the fighting game. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t watch the news, I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.
Conor McGregorWriting makes you feel that there is a reason to go on living. If I couldn’t write, I would stop breathing.
Paul AusterYour premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it’s not going to get the business.
Warren BuffettOn ‚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.
Taylor SwiftI think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.
Bad BunnyI can get where some scientists would say comedians are crazy. What you have to understand: A lot of comedians are dealing with a dark passion. A lot of these are guys coming from a tumultuous life, including myself. Some people need outlets, a way to express yourself.
Kevin HartI always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.
Karl LagerfeldMy main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony.
Dalai LamaI just know that I’m a fan of all different kinds of genres. You’re supposed to be free doing music, and that’s how I feel.
Bruno MarsHow can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert CamusI know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.
Amy WinehouseThink about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.
Mark ZuckerbergIf one has fear, there can be no initiative in the creative sense of the word. To have initiative in this sense is to do something original – to do it spontaneously, naturally, without being guided, forced, controlled. It is to do something which you love to do.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.
David BowieEveryone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.
Napoleon HillBasically, I live to do gigs.
Amy WinehouseSuccess in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.
Napoleon HillWWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.
Dwayne JohnsonIf you have passion, there is no need for excuses because your enthusiasm will trump any negative reasoning you might come up with. Enthusiasm makes excuses a nonissue.
Wayne DyerI put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
