I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw.
Willie Mays

I was a baseball player, I taught baseball, and all of a sudden I was in the business world. Now I used the baseball world to talk about their product. Not too much, just enough to keep going. Just be yourself and you'll never have a problem. That's what I did.
Willie Mays

All I wanted to be was a player.
Franco Harris

That's how easy baseball was for me. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I had the knowledge before I became a professional baseball player to do all these things and know what each guy would hit.
Willie Mays

Whatever coach Coker wanted me to do, I was willing to do... If he wanted me to sit the rest of the year, then that's what I would have done. This opportunity came and he asked me if I wanted to play. Any player is going to say yes.
Andrew Johnson

I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
David Duchovny

I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
Don Henley

It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.
Ernie Banks

I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.
Muddy Waters

I ask myself why I do it. Maybe it's to prove I'm still around. It takes a lot out of my body. I'm not an NBA player anymore. At my age, very few people can handle it.
Jerry Stiller

Every football player knows when his time is up.
Red Grange

I'm not a good guitar player.
Adam Jones

To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours.
Guy Forget

The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.
Brian May

In cinema, the leading player is the director.
Ben Kingsley

You never know who will win and I think that is the great thing about this league (as a player) because it gives you a lot of hope that this could be your year.
Michael Strahan

I have a DVD player and I have DVDs, and I have no time to watch any of them.
David Morse

My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.
Nomar Garciaparra

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.
Willie Stargell

There's such a thing as theater discipline. One player doesn't appropriate another's inventions.
Ethel Merman
