My work ethic is from sports.

As most who have engaged in competitive sports know, there's nothing to match the amplitude of emotion brought by losing.

My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.'

I was into sports and dancing. I ran track. I have a lot of stamina.

Mayweather Promotions - we are the past, the present, and the future of sports and entertainment, and everybody knows Mayweather's pay is better.

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.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

It's hard to create new friendships outside sports.

I want to support kids that not a lot of people believe in. Give them an opportunity to do good in school, play sports and get scholarships.

Your body's really only meant to compete at the highest levels of combat sports for a few years.

I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.

There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.

My dad is not a sports guy but was drawn to the theatrics of wrestling.

The ESPYS are about appreciating moments in sports and not looking down on it because it's maybe not your favorite athlete or your favorite team.

I'm actually a fan of all of the EA Sports titles like 'Tiger Woods,' 'Madden,' and I'm really looking forward to buying 'NBA Street V3.'

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

Boxing has become America's tragic theater.

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.

When you write about sports, you're allowed to engage in mischief. Nothing is at stake.

I'm always fascinated by the use of the first-person plural talking about sports.

My whole family is missing that sports gene. I hope I didn't screw that up by marrying a great golfer.

I know I could be the host of 'SportsCenter' in two years if I changed my show today to sports.

It was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I'd put on 50 pounds.

I'm a huge sports fan.

When they take surveys of women in business, of the Fortune 500, the successful women, 80% of them, say they were in sports as a young woman.

There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.

I love sports because it takes me away from reality, and I tell people, 'No matter how bad your life is, if you are having problems at home, you are having problems at work, that's the beauty of sports.'

I played sports. I had boyfriends. I loved high school.

I get a lot of letters that say, 'I'm a normal, down-to-earth girl. I love to cook, and I love sports.' What I also get are letters from a whole bunch of moms saying, 'My daughter is awesome,' and, 'My daughter is a great daughter.'

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.

I had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn't skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years.

I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.

I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I'm not into sports watches - I like chronometers.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.

I think women athletes who have been successful need to help other sports, those sports that are just emerging. That's what I've been thinking about and looking forward to.

Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.

As an athlete and as a woman, I get my confidence from playing sports because it shifts your focus from what your body looks like to what your body can do for you. That's what we all should be doing. It shouldn't be about looking perfect.

Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.

I spent my whole life playing sports and training and pushing myself to the limits.

When I first started designing sportswear, I felt that women weren't represented in sports performance. I felt that men were dressed really well both technically and visually, and women were almost like an afterthought.

Boxing should focus on pitting champion versus champion - those are the fights that everyone wants to see. The sports also needs to work on developing new heroes and personalities. I'd like to see more vignettes on fighters, focusing on their lives, goals and stories. Boxers need to be larger than life.

In order to develop the country's sports in line with the great leaders' ideas and plan of developing Juche-based sports, our Party directs great efforts to the work of the sports sector.

I remember my first 'Sports Illustrated' shoot was with the photographer Walter Iooss, and Julie Campbell was the editor, and we were at the president of Mexico's private house in Cancun - this was before anything else that's now in Cancun even existed. And they told me to get a tan, so I spent all morning in the sun, and I was burnt.

When doing sports... on the water, it's crucial to stop aging by protecting your skin.

I'm not good at a lot of things. I am not good at keeping my room clean. I am not good at eating healthy. I am not good at sports anymore. I used to be! Not so much anymore.

I'll let the racket do the talking.

We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.

Tennis was a white, upper-class sport, and I wanted it to be treated like other sports were.

The day of parochialism in sports is over. The world is too small for what people like to call 'the good old days.' Fans want the best, wherever they come from.
