Nowadays there are too many players who can't get a contract elsewhere, who come to England and just take the money.
I don't blame the players today for the money. I blame the owners. They started it. They wanna give it to 'em? More power to 'em.
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
I have 23 top players and they are all ready to put on the jersey and work on the pitch and that makes you happy and then you have peace of mind.
The practical core of democracy, defined functionally, is the peaceful exchange of power between different groups of powerful political players arranged in parties.
When you do what you're supposed to do and don't complain much, I think the fans, media, players and front office appreciate and respect that.
I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.
I think as a player there's a sense of urgency every single year that this is the year we're going to have success and do the things we're excited about.
We'll see some simplistic players for a while, who'll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music.
It's like that scene from The Player when they talk about merging Star Wars and Kramer vs. Kramer, or whatever. You could do that with music and it would just be awful.
I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.
I know my football. And I adore football players. The crashing noise of a tackle, the huddle grunting, and the roar of the crowd are music to my ears.
There is also something called the Legislature. There is something called the press. There is something called people. These are all different players on the stage.
When I play, I feel like I'm in a theatre, why should I look ugly then, because I'm a tennis-player?
I think generally the Japanese players have more intensity in practice but generally I do the same things.
Obviously, a power player in a criminal organization doesn't have to persuade anyone. He can just do what he wants.
I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don't want to let them down.
You know, I think I'm the worst player to talk to about statistics.
People have to understand how important it is for the players to let off steam, switch off and relax.
