I started playing with my dad, and football was my dream forever. Step by step, I learnt a lot. I worked really hard, and finally when I was eighteen, I signed my first professional contract.

You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn't mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It's just like a football...

I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.

Oftentimes with change comes growth. What we have to make sure is that without change comes growth.

I spent nine years at Arsenal, which makes the club really special for me.

It's a lot more important to get quality young men and good student-athletes that can be successful at the University of Georgia. That's my No. 1 goal.

I want what's best for our country. I'm not sure I can figure that out.

The Big Ten is brand strong.

I never expected to adapt so quickly, but if you are a foreigner it's up to you to adapt to English football because you can't change it. I think I've achieved something in the way I adapted.

I'm not a player; I'm an alien.

I've always talked to players about perception and reality. I don't worry about perception. There may be some of that, that people want to attach to a good name, but the reality is that some good...

You always want to score on your first possession.

Some players need it and some don't. Some have a little too much confidence. But bench players, guys in secondary roles, just need a shot of confidence all the time.

I'm a big fan of every player plays in his best possible position.

We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their...

I am a big fan of the five-bowler strategy.

When you go to the big city - you're in New York, Boston, you're in L.A. - you walk in the streets, and nobody says anything to you. It becomes so impersonal because there's so many people.

If you go to any elementary school classroom in Texas, some kids in there are going to be named either Austin, Dallas or Houston.

I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.

I know my ambition and my passion and to know how I want to grow up with Arsenal.

I just want to say that aside from Atlanta United, any national team gives you a little bit more free time. I don't want to get completely into the analysis. There are different responsibilities...

The most important thing is that the player is good enough and has a desire for the national team.

Cricket has given me everything. If I'm anything today, it is because of the game... where I have given blood, sweat, and tears.

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

Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

A small squad means everyone feels part of it and integrated.

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

Number one, from a tackling standpoint, we teach strike zone hits, and we want to hit absolutely as hard as we can in that strike zone, and that's absolutely what we call a batter in the batters box...

You aren't going to find anybody that's going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.

I have that look like I'm going to tear your head off. As a younger guy, I think I had that look even more and had a reputation for being in your face a lot, but as I've gotten older I think I've...
