The Games are just a nice positive way to build friendships camaraderie and of course self-esteem. Plus the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.

I want to contribute to sport and the community in a positive way.

My stance has always been that there's no place in our sport for drug users. I've always said it's a ban for life if you come up positive. I stand by that.

I've realized the extraordinary power of sports to heal unite and inspire. I believe the Olympics will serve as the ultimate platform to provide positive changes and I hope to inspire all of Japan through my strong showing there.

I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down because I believe in that style of play and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.

Since turning professional at 18 I have travelled the world playing the game that I love and consider myself a global player. As the World No.1 right now I wish to be a positive role model and a sportsperson that people respect and enjoy watching.

To me it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport enjoy it be positive and try to win.

I've been looking at companies that are on a positive path vs. a negative path and I've come to use the language of sports winning streaks and losing streaks.

I had a really bad temper when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole but I don't watch politics for sport.

American politics used to be an amateur sport. But somewhere along the way we handed over to professionals all the things people used to do for free.

It's such a beautiful sport with no politics involved no color no class. Only as a youngster can you play and as a pro can you win. The game has kept me young involved and excited and for me to be up here with gems of baseball.

Politics is a blood sport.

I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

In most places in the country voting is looked upon as a right and a duty but in Chicago it's a sport.

My biggest pet peeve are just girls who go to sports bars who have no intention on caring what teams are playing like they're looking for just a night out. That drives me more crazy than anything else. Like don't pretend to be a sports fan.

Through the years I have received my share of recognition for efforts in the fields of sports the arts the struggle for full citizenship for the Negro people labor's rights and the fight for peace.

I was a sports fan but I also went to peace marches.

Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace because sports brings everyone together.

The addiction to sports therefore in a peculiar degree marks an arrested development in man's moral nature.

Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.

Very much like that and very much a loner do you know and I didn't fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would you know.
