My favorite sports movies I like 'Remember the Titans' and 'Hoosiers' Jimmy Chitwood from the corner.

I've always been around dudes and sports.

I don't read a lot of the sports because I think people sometimes either build it up or you have this guy that hates sports that is going to write bad about it so I figure I'm not going to read it. Because I'm not going to let him put an idea into my head.

Yeah I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent but it does give you more of an edge mentally knowing that you were in the same situation because in sports you always find yourself behind.

If I wasn't dyslexic I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader then that would have come easily sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.

Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.

I've been involved with sports my whole life which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

We might not make what athletes in other sports make but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.

If I could have married my wife and been a sports writer for the past 30 years I wouldn't be sitting here - but I don't think I'd be sitting someplace where I was sorry to be sitting.

I come from a sports family and my husband is a rugby player.

Sports broadcasting is very open now. In the beginning you did encounter more traditional attitudes and get comments. But I'm talking about 12 years ago.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.

I love that men like to look at women that they love sports that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.

Can they do both? That's a huge balance I think with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything you know it's social life it's academics it's sports.

The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world unlike film or books or sports even this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.

Because I just like sports I like athletics and I like competition.

I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated ' because I've always been skinny.

I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

There's steps that I've taken already and each week talking with the sports psychologist on a routine basis and working with the different programs that we're going through. This is all stuff that you can say you're going to make a difference but I'm putting it into action.

One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky most little boys were trying to get into sports and it was very competitive so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.
