I was drafted by the New Orleans Saints, and quite frankly, I got worn out playing football. I got tired of it. With wrestling, there were so many variables that could go with it, so many directions...

I have to be a good game manager for us to be able to win games. I like having a gunslinger mentality, though, because I'm not afraid to make any throw.

During the season, I dodge the media, kind of. It's not that I'm trying to avoid them, but I know if they get a hold of me, there's going to be, like, 10 people around me, and I'm going to have to...

I don't know how I look when I'm on the court to tell you the truth, I'm just focused.

Height doesn't matter. You see guys like Tyrod Taylor, Brees, Russell Wilson: they've proven that it doesn't matter.

It's a tough sport, and I've been at it a long time.

So long as I keep performing week in, week out for Everton, I will have the chance to stay England number one.

Celebrations are for the players to express themselves.

It's not like I'm in there and not trying to finish fights. I'm hitting these guys as hard as I can in there. I'm trying to do what I have to do in there to get it done without being one of these guys...

Each driver has some particular style, and you compete against each driver in each race a little bit differently.

Jim played - he had a great stretch in the middle of the round there, and Chad made that long putt on 16. Almost got that match. We ended up losing, but we almost won it, too.

It still comes down to attracting players, and UCLA can attract players as well as any place in the country.

I've been lucky enough to play in the final of a World Cup before, but it's always an amazing experience to walk out at a packed stadium.

Playing four years of college, when you're playing for someone other than yourself, I think it makes it a lot more fun.

As long as somebody is making sacks, I'm happy.

Do goalkeepers get nervous about the dreaded spot-kick? I don't, not any more.

Football was the best route to obtain my independence.

If you lose a title, perhaps it's because your rivals are better than you are. But to be demoted from the top flight is really heartbreaking.

I think when people say Madrid are playing well and Barca are not and vice-versa, or when one wins the Champions League, it's better than the other, I don't think that makes sense. Everyone takes...

You know when you play in Leverkusen it is always a difficult game.

As a player you always feel the pressure and as a team you are always trying to make sure the opposition are under it.

When I was in high school, I played defense and also averaged about 20 rebounds a game.

When it's football season, I'm all football.

The Miracle of Istanbul was the most amazing game I'd ever seen - and long before the end I'd decided Liverpool would be my team.

It was weird, I saw the Brian Stann vs. Wanderlei fight, I thought, if I don't have another of those in me, there's no point in continuing. I never really cared about winning or losing, then don't put...

My first race was in October 2001 in Kapsabet, Kenya. It was a 10km road race. I was excited and I was happy to know I am good in running.
