My policy was just to give good things for sports in my region.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

We might not make what athletes in other sports make but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

I like people who are enthused about things they do like travel sports work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.

I like to feel that I understand little things about sports.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players bands that play quiet unassuming music and TV shows that win awards. In that way I am an elitist snob.

Winning isn't everything but playing and competing and striving and going through things can be a lot of fun and really important. As long as you're doing it in a way that's healthy sports can be an incredible opportunity.

I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.

I only have two things in my life my family and work. If there's any time left over then I play sports.

I've aways been good at picking up certain things like sports and dancing.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields they laughed all the time.

There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.

Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times.

I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know.

There was endless action - not just football but sailboats tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk - the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part.

I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.

The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen.

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they've always gotten killed doing it. And they've always turned it into a matter of honor and a way of gaining acceptance back into society if they survived.

I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what's happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it because I always want to talk about certain things in society.

You forget that you do choose your life and there are so many things to be grateful for and I feel like society has gotten to that point where we're always looking for the next and the better and we lose sight of what's actually in front of us.

If you wish to appear agreeable in society you must consent to be taught many things which you know already.

The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment.
