— Bernhard Langer
I think all good sports movies aren't really about sports.

— Aymeric Laporte
Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment.
— Avery Brundage

— Asif Kapadia
I hate to let people down. I was like that in sports and I was like that in comedy. I was like that at work. When I worked General Motors and stuff like that, when I say something, I mean it.
— Bernie Mac
Books had instant replay long before televised sports.
— Bernard Williams

— Bar Refaeli
I had grand visions of being in professional sports. But when reality set in, I went, 'Oh, OK. I'll just move to Hollywood and be an actor.' I didn't want to look back on my life and wonder, 'What if I had done this? Or I had done that?'
— Bailey Chase
I'm sure there are people in all sports that bend the rules but I'm not going to sit here and point the finger.
— B. J. Penn
The only introduction to sports that I had before meeting my husband was Buffalo Bills football and Doug Flutely Flakes. My dad grew up in Buffalo and has been a Bills fan all his life.
— Ayesha Curry
I was a sports fan long before I had any interest in film-making.
I wasn't like the rest of the kids. I was an artist. Living in a black society, when you're raised around a bunch of boys who plays sports and chase girls, there's this perception of masculinity that's super hard to fit into. I wasn't the stereotype of that like a lot of my peers were.
— Ashton Sanders
I've always been a reserved cat. When I play sports, there's people used to get mad at me because I didn't hang out and things like that. I've never been that kind of person. Nothing has changed in that regard. I've never been posse, and all that. I'm a quiet storm.
I'm so unhappy with electoral politics that I switched to sports radio.
— Bernadine Dohrn

For a Nebraska kid in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Nebraska football was a quasi-religion, so I ran out to get The Omaha World-Herald every morning, salivating for the sports page. My dad, however, required that I read one front page story and one editorial before I was allowed to turn to the sports.
The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.

— Ben Carson
The greatest thing about sports, to me, is just the crossover into everyday life.

— Bayley
The stance I took was there is no room for racial bias anywhere in sports. I believe that was basically all I said about it. Certainly I was cast as an abolitionist. Death threats came. Hate mail came.
— Barry Larkin
For me, growing up, I'd always been a part of team sports, except for when I was boxing.
I do Pilates. And that's best for me... because I can't really do any other sports any more because of my muscles.
Not many countries establish a prize for peace. The Seoul Peace Prize has its roots in the 1988 Summer Olympics when this country opened its doors to people and athletes from more than 160 countries. Korea did so in part because it believes in the power of sports for peace and development.
— Ban Ki-moon
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

I wanted to make a film that wouldn't just appeal to Formula One fans. That's what the great sports documentaries do - 'Hoop Dreams,' 'When We Were Kings' - they're human dramas first, sport second, if at all.
