I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.

I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.

Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.

I wanted to play sports my whole life. That's all I really wanted to do.

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.

Being No. 1. It's talked about all of the time in hip-hop. 'I'm still No. 1! I'm the best! I'm the greatest of all time!' It's the same mentality in sports.

In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.

The tradition in Serbia has always been team sports - football, basketball, handball, volleyball and water polo, individual sports are not supported.

It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.

I work out, I play sports, I go to concerts.

I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.

I always separated sports and my personal life.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.

In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.

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 always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.

I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.

I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.

The thing about sports movies is, they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images, etc.

I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports, or plays, or school performances, so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.

I used to sports gamble a lot and I was getting killed on that but then I found poker and really enjoyed it. But it was a hobby more than anything else. I played it every day but only on pretty small stakes.

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'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.
