I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
The great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.
The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Every person on the streets of New York is a type. The city is one big theater where everyone is on display.
The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.
No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
I ain't afraid to tell the world that it didn't take school stuff to help a fella play ball.
Every few seconds it changes - up an eighth, down an eighth - it's like playing a slot machine. I lose $20 million, I gain $20 million.
I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
He was so honest you could play craps with him over the phone.
For me, the worst part of playing golf, by far, has always been hitting the ball.
