When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I'd take smelling salts and go right back out there. Terry Bradshaw
When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty. Sugar Ray Leonard
When I was in elementary school, we weren't allowed to do sports other than cheerleading. By junior high, they let us play, but we had to come back after 6:30 p.m. to practice because there was only one gymnasium and the boys used it first. Jackie Joyner Kersee
When I was younger, my coach, Liang Chow, made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice, do exactly what Chow told me to do, go home, come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps, I did 50 squat jumps. Shawn Johnson

When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia. Anthony Bourdain
When I'm done skating, I guarantee you that I will not look back and remember standing on the podium. I'm going to remember these days - being with the team. Training alone, in my basement. Training when everybody else is sleeping. Doing things that nobody else is doing. Digging down. Seeing what kind of character I truly have. I love that stuff. Apolo Ohno
When I'm on that field, I give it everything I have, and when I come off, I'm a mom. As tired and exhausting as it is, it's about coming back, even after double days, and still being able to enjoy the kids. Christie Rampone
When I'm working on a book, I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm. Joan Didion
When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye. Gary Sheffield
When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it's being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships. Earl Monroe
When we got back to the U.S., I wanted to kiss the ground after seeing what people in other countries are denied or don't have. Sugar Ray Leonard
When we look back, the only things we cherish are those which in some way met our original want; the desire which formed in us in early youth, undirected, and of its own accord. Willa Cather
When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you. Johnny Weir
When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away. Andy Roddick
