I have no physical genius about me. I can’t dribble a ball and run at the same time, I can’t do lay-ups – I’m not an athlete. But my experience as a kid was, I was made fun of so much that what I did then, is, I wouldn’t participate. And I think I cheated myself out of a lot of fun. Rich Mullins Read Quote

I’m always a big advocate for adapting to your new team, your new country and your new team-mates. Ronald Koeman Read Quote
Having Twitter on your phone is like being with a journalist that hates you 24 hours a day. Anything you say on that can be spun. Truly, that’s what you have to think of it as. Colin Jost Read Quote

True stories are always good because they’re so odd, and so unlikely. It’s always good to have a world that people don’t know about – a world that hasn’t yet been done. It’s like treading on fresh snow. You’re the first one there. It always feels good to be dealing with a period of history or a world that no one else has dealt with. Steven Knight Read Quote
