I wasn't into sports when I was younger. I was one of those kids who always tried to get a note from the doctor to say I had a cold so I didn't have to go play hockey in bad weather and be miserable.

Eliza Doolittle

Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.

First off, do everything they can to give their kids the opportunities to play sports; asthma is not a deterrent to playing sports.

Dominique Wilkins

The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.

I intend to explore emerging trends, not only in fashion but also in music and everything related to sports.

I liked baseball and sports and Garbage Pail Kids and comic books. I know what its like to really adore something.

Todd Lowe

I grew up in New York. We were all diversified, as far as music was concerned. I grew up liking just about everything. So I tried to incorporate that into my playing, although the original school where I came from was Afro-Cuban music. But I liked all kinds of music -- I tried to bring that into everything.

If something touches on the world of sports, ESPN has never told me that I cannot discuss a sports-related matter.

To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids. The whole idea of escapism really resonates with a lot of kids.

I've been playing team sports since I could walk... so anything sports-related story is always fun for me.

In my family, I'm the middle of three, and I'm like a lot of middle children. I was one of those kids that floated from group to group. I liked being able to be included in all the groups - the bad kids, the smart kids.

Eileen Myles

Kids tend to look up to sports figures and entertainers, probably more than they should, but I've tried to use that in a positive way.

Warren Moon

I always liked to write and had fun writing, but I didn't have any pretensions about being a writer. I liked to read and liked to putz around and write little stories or poems, but my thing was sports.
