My first obsession was actually sports. I was a very good handball goalkeeper. With special permission, I played in the premier league in Germany before I was even old enough.
— Peter Lindbergh
We really love all sports, but we don't think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.
— Peter Farrelly
I'm a huge sports fan. I love the psychology of athletes and the culture of athletics. I'm constantly drawn to those kinds of stories.
— Peter Berg
Just as sports teams recognize the potentially game-changing benefit of calling time-outs, failing to do so in matters of warfare is a surefire way to continue losing.
— Pete Hoekstra
My whole family is missing that sports gene. I hope I didn't screw that up by marrying a great golfer.
— Penn Jillette
I'm a pretty agile guy, especially being taller and having done martial arts from about the age of 13, but parkour is one of those sports that I wish I'd discovered sooner. When my nephew first showed me, I thought, 'Damn - I'm too old for this.'
— Paul Walker
The fans of New York are very knowledgeable about the game of basketball. They love their sports here.
— Paul Pierce
God made me to be a sports player. He didn't make me to be a professor or any of that other crap.
— Paul Orndorff
The Dangerous Alliance consists of the following - 'The Advocate' Paul Heyman and 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar. That Dangerous Alliance is the single most formidable faction in the history of sports entertainment. We don't need Four Horsemen. We don't need three Freebirds. We don't need a Legion of Doom.
— Paul Heyman
Golf is a game in which you yell 'fore,' shoot six, and write down five.
— Paul Harvey
That feeling in the dressing room after you win - nothing comes close to that. You can't get that in any other career. Maybe in the stock market back in the '80s when people were making tons of money, maybe they felt something similar. Maybe. But look at the market now. Nothing gives you that emotion like sports. Nothing. Am I wrong?
— Paul Coffey
Even in the most peaceful communities, an appetite for violence shows up in dreams, fantasies, sports, play, literature, movies and television. And, so long as we don't transform into angels, violence and the threat of violence - as in punishment and deterrence - is needed to rein in our worst instincts.
— Paul Bloom
Continuity is important in sports.
— Paul Allen
I have to admit, between the Seahawks games and the Blazer games and playoffs games, we're talking about close to 100 games a year, so I don't really follow other sports a lot.
Traditionally, Seattle has been a great sports town and great football town. What the Huskies have achieved over the years has been pretty amazing. That's how I got my first taste of football - when I went with my father to Husky Stadium.
Kids in sports - it makes such an impact in life with the lessons that you learn.
— Patrick Mahomes
There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.
— Patrick Chan
I'm apparently attracted to things that are on the edge of what America really wants to watch: 'Six Feet Under,' 'Sports Night,' 'Dirty Sexy Money,' and 'Parenthood' were always struggling in the ratings. It was kind of heartbreaking not knowing if we get to come back every season.
— Peter Krause
When I was a kid, the idea of gettin' paid to paint your face... listen, I grew up in Ossining, New York, a nice little town by the Hudson, and nothin' ever interested me except being your usual high school big shot, which I was an' loved it, played all the sports and goofed around, always out on the street with the guys, everything was funny t'me.
— Peter Falk
I like Barack Obama as a person. He's articulate, he knows sports, his brother-in-law's a coach. He always has the athletes to the White House. But I don't know about some of his policies and some of these people in Congress.
— Pete Rose
Sports are trivial compared to matters of war and peace, but some parallels apply.
I'm always fascinated by the use of the first-person plural talking about sports.
I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.
Mostly I play sports games - football and basketball. 'Inside Drive' and 'NFL Fever.'
I don't feel 50. I'm still ambitious, and I've only just got my licence to race sports cars. I race for an Aston Martin team called Beechdean, and it's a huge challenge.
— Paul Hollywood
Ronda Rousey is a groundbreaker. She is one who charts through territory that has never been explored before and is one of the biggest sports stars in the world, male or female.
The more violent the body contact of the sports you watch, the lower the class.
— Paul Fussell
Leadership is one of sports' intangibles. Guys can score, guys can fight, guys can skate faster than anybody else. But not everybody can say, 'Follow me.'
I think I've got such a diverse set of interests - movies, aviation, technology, sports teams.
It's part of the juice of sports that you tend to find certain sports figures that you cheer on from other cities and others that you're a bit skeptical about.
Sports is such a cyclical thing; it's often feast or famine. But what you try and do as an owner is build a winning organization.
Everyone thinks I'm this jock of a woman, but I didn't play any sports. I didn't even let my kids play baseball because I was afraid they were going to get hit by balls.
— Patti Hansen
It's great to be able to continue my career in Chicago. Playing with the best organization in sports and the best fans in the game is a blessing.
— Patrick Kane
If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.
Social cohesion was built into language long before Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter - we're tribal by nature. Tribes today aren't the same as tribes thousand of years ago: It isn't just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: It's sports fans, it's communities, it's geography.
— Peter Guber
I'm a big watcher of sports, consumer of sports content, so I love documentaries; I love the format.
— Peter Billingsley
It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.
All good sports reporters know that the best stories are in the loser's locker room.
— Pete Hamill
I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.
— Peggy Fleming
I can talk about sports and stuff, but I have a season pass for 'Antiques Roadshow' on my TiVo.
— Paul Rudd
I like contact sports like football. I like collisions, and I was good at it.
I took the antiquated, outdated, passe role of the wrestling manager, and I upgraded it into the upper echelon of sports entertainment to be known as an advocate.
Ronda Rousey is a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, and anything that Ronda Rousey does is going to come with extreme scrutiny because she is such a pivotal figure in not only American sports but in global sports as well.
There probably isn't another position in all of team sports that I can think of that has the same level of import as the quarterback.
— Paul DePodesta
Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.
There are so many websites I read; I look at everything from Slashdot to Ars Technica to the business technology sites, major newspapers like the 'New York Times,' and my local papers where I live, which cover the sports teams I'm involved with. There are about 20 sites we go to regularly, and I do use Twitter and Facebook as well.
Your dream, when you buy a sports franchise, is to win the championship, the Super Bowl.
At one point, I was the youngest owner in major league sports.
I'm truly passionate about basketball. I'm not as passionate about baseball as I am about basketball, but I watch baseball and I watch football. I love sports in general.
— Patrick Soon-Shiong
I tried all kinds of sports when I was a kid, like soccer and tennis and golf, and, in fact, started skating to be able to play hockey.
