You get into sports with the idea that you want to win. If you aren't trying to win, what's the point in being involved? Once you do get involved, you realize the team draws so much from the community, and it would be nothing without the support of it. You've got to give back. It needs to be a two-way street.

Acting was always something fun to do on the side growing up, but I never really took it seriously. I would do a commercial every few months, and that paid my school tuition. But in high school, I was mostly into sports and didn't go out for stuff during those seasons.
— Jeremy Howard
I went to dance class as a girl because I didn't like sports, but I never did a dance recital in my life. Never, ever, ever. I felt comfortable dancing, and I was happiest dancing, but I was never the best person in the class.

— Jenna Bush

I had played sports all my life, and I thought that was going to be the way. But I saw where the potential in football was going to end. When it comes to decision-making, I just follow my gut at the end of the day. And if I don't, I get in trouble. I wanted to become a filmmaker.
— Jason Wiles
When I did play team sports, I was into soccer and hockey. I loved hockey. And then rock climbing became the thing that got me out of Iowa, and I traveled the world for rock climbing. I really loved the, I guess you would say, dirtbag lifestyle of not eating much and traveling the world and slipping into different cultures and just observing.
— Jason Momoa
We strongly believe that children should not be exposed to smokeless tobacco or see such products being used by their on-field sports heroes.

My biggest pet peeve are just girls who go to sports bars who have no intention on caring what teams are playing, like they're looking for just a night out. That drives me more crazy than anything else. Like, don't pretend to be a sports fan.

— Jennie Finch
When it comes to matters of pro sports, politics or palate, disparate sides claim their party, team and cola to be superior.
— Jen Lancaster
I never really felt like I quite fit in. Other boys were playing sports and into hunting and stereotypically masculine activities. I was always more attracted to the arts. I loved to dance, I loved to sing, and I always knew I would be an actor. I don't really know why.
— Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman
If sports science really has a beat on what's healthy for the players, then they need to tell the league how many games that is healthy for players to play and then only play that many games.
— Jeff Van Gundy

— Jeff Ament
Here's my take: People watch sports to get away from day-to-day stresses, work, illness, financial worries. We don't need to be reminded of political divisions.
— Jeanine Pirro
Sports and education, I think they overlap.
All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music... and have the odd sports car in the garage, obviously!
— Jay Kay
I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I'm not into sports watches - I like chronometers.
— Jason Statham
Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer.

— Jason Lee
I only had one player in my 33 years of sports that couldn't be traded. He wore No. 23 - and 45 when he played baseball.

The families of many athletes - incensed at the sports leagues and hoping to make games safer overall - are increasingly making the brains of players who die prematurely and suspiciously available for study. Some athletes are even making the bequest themselves.
I'd like to run a professional football team. I'd love to run the USTA, be the sports editor of the 'New York Times.'

— Jeff Kinney
Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.
— Jeff Garcia
People try to read a lot into what 'digital' means. It's just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content - movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights.

— Jean Patou
I always seem to get parts where I play the sports professional - and that's not me at all!
— Jay Ryan
