When I saw 'The Player', I came out with knots in my stomach because it was so true to my experience.
I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it's been so long since I've been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.
I come from a family where soccer has always been very present. My uncles, my father and my brother were all players.
If you're a single man and you happen to be in this business, you're deemed a player. But I don't see myself as a ladies' man.
Insurance - an ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table.
There's a tacit understanding among clubs that a good player shouldn't miss out on the big break of his career or a chance at exponentially improved earnings.
Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.

I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.

My dad was a bass player in a Latino band when I was growing up. So we always had musical instruments in our basement.
Today I join the greatest players that played the game. It is a great feeling being here.
I speak very highly of Jim Thome. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great individual.
Every player that plays for any organization, having great fans on your side every night is a great thing.
In the history of women's tennis the great players have come back from long absences with no problems.
I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
Obviously, drafts sometimes are good ones, or bad ones; I think you can get a good, quality player late in the lottery.
All the really good players I know, they all knew right from wrong. So many of them don't learn that at home nowadays.
The Senior Tour is a good concept, although frankly I'm not astounded at its continued success. It gives a lot of guys an opportunity to extend their careers.
I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.
Guys like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Stefan Edberg were also very good grass court players.
