At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.
Eberhard Weber

Benny Goodman was one of the big influences as a clarinet player. That's why I wanted the clarinet.
Lee Konitz

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.
Robbie Fowler

And I think they loved me because I loved being part of their team, you know, and I quite often say to kids, that I was the worst player in the world's best football team - and that was good enough for me.
Craig Johnston

When I saw The Player, I came out with knots in my stomach because it was so true to my experience.
Douglas Wood

In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.
Gerry Mulligan

I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player.
Sue Wicks

With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.
Shane Warne

No player can become accustomed to New York's climate in August in a few days. The playing conditions, the courts in New York and France are very different.
Helen Wills Moody

That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.
Jamal Lewis

Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.
Alvin Dark

It's like that scene from The Player when they talk about merging Star Wars and Kramer vs. Kramer, or whatever. You could do that with music and it would just be awful.
Jonny Greenwood

Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game.
Branch Rickey

I had the idea that I should beat up every player I tangled with and nothing ever convinced me it wasn't a good idea.
Ted Lindsay

If any player has a bad game it's there in the back of your mind in the next game. There's always a hangover. It is like a wounded animal in a way, as you want to get out there as quick as possible and rectify it.
Rio Ferdinand

It made me hungry. I feel like I'm in a program that really helped me individually as a player. I feel like I'm with a group of guys that are like my best friends.
Yannick Noah

The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.
Jurgen Klinsmann

It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.
Anna Kournikova

We draft mostly high school kids and we have one of the finest, if not the finest, player development programs and coaching staffs and we teach our players the right way to play. We also have a game plan in scouting, and there are certain types of players that we look for.
Roy Clark

Richard Schiff is a really good baseball player. It's surprising because he looks exhausted.
Bradley Whitford
