When I was a kid I was always an athlete. I played a lot of sports. I played football basketball baseball and soccer.

I receive huge support from Irish and British sports fans alike and it is greatly appreciated. Likewise I feel I have a great affinity with the American sports fans. I play most of my golf in the U.S. nowadays and I am incredibly proud to have won the U.S. Open and U.S. PGA Championship in the last two years.

I have my parents to thank for that they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.

Why should sports men and women get punished harsher than people in the normal world?

I played a lot of sports and it's the plays in basketball that weren't worked out that are the ones that are just fantastic that you remember. We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.

If they asked me I did two shifts. I did sports I did news because I loved it.

As a sophomore I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

When my TV show 'Sports Jobs with Junior Seau ' assigned me to be a 'Sports Illustrated' reporter for a weekend I didn't realize I'd have to squeeze it in around another sports job. I had planned to retire from the NFL to enjoy the cushy lifestyle of a full-time reality TV star but I wound up getting run over by a bull.

Tiger Woods is the only sports star who's worth every penny he makes.

I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages sometimes I write them in a column sometimes in a novel sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'

I don't want someone to watch sports in bed. That drives me nuts.

I keep getting these extraordinary letteres really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink.

People have called me Superman my whole life. In various sports that seems to be the common theme. My favorite superhero is actually the Incredible Hulk. He's the only superhero that can't die.

In most sports your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.

I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars like Wogie's in the West Village New York City near my house.

I had no interest in sports so I didn't make friends in that traditional way where kids are in public school and they go and they join clubs and play sports. So I kind of had to find my own way to make friends and get attention and so I just was the class clown.

I didn't go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

Men's competitive team sports focus on the balance between individual achievement and team achievement with the emphasis on team achievement.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.

I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.

A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.

Boxing mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train for.

I love various sports including basketball tennis and billiards.
