I learned to skate in our garage. We lived in the country in Florida, it was sort of farmish, and there was no cement anywhere else. Vert skating was the kind of skating that was done in pools, where you could get airborne and be weightless. The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground. Rodney Mullen
Any game is important to me. At Boston College, when I went out for the spring games, I wanted to win. Maybe it is more important than other preseason games. It's just that everyone is expecting a lot from me in my first week of professional football. I want to confirm my expectations. Doug Flutie

I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way. Joe DiMaggio
I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team. Tim Hardaway
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming. Charles Barkley
In NASCAR, you don't have to be as physically strong as in some other forms of racing. You've just got to be able to endure the heat and endurance of it. Jeff Gordon
It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel. Victor Cruz
It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that. Brett Favre
