Player Quotes
I played rugby from the age of 10 until my late twenties; an unlikely player - small, quiet, long-haired and 'wiry.'
Anthony Browne
I always thought of myself as the piano player in the band. That, I suppose, I'm confident about, and I guess my songwriting developed as I went along and I got a certain amount of confidence in that. The songs are like my kids, I'm proud of all of them for one reason or another.
Billy Joel

Lin Dan
So, yeah, I'm going to try to win the national championship next year. But I'm not going to kill myself doing it. I'm not going to kill my players either. You really start to realize there's a lot more to what we're trying to do then winning games
Geno Auriemma
It's been made clear to all of us that a player should never leave the playing field and go into the stands.
Isaiah Thomas
I never heard Jack Nicklaus say, 'I'm a great player,' or Tiger Woods, as a matter of fact. They just get out and do it. And I think that's far more appealing... than talking about how good you are.
Arnold Palmer

Stefan Edberg
If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.

People tell me if I don't eat vegetables, I'm going to get scurvy. Well, what the hell. But I was never overweight as a player.

She's really improved a lot. She went from being a minute to two-minute player to a 10- to 12-minute player. It really comes from her desire to do the little things.

Mike Kerr
Royal Blood

Andy Van Slyke
