I've always dreamed of playing in the World Cup and wearing the Selecao jersey, but I knew how difficult that was, what with me playing in Ukraine for Shakhtar.

Fernandinho

He tried to convince me. He spoke to me: 'You have to play for Belgium.' He came to talk to me, he's always talking to me. I told him 'it's difficult, Lukaku, can't do it, it's not the same. Playing for Belgium is something else. Playing for Selecao... It's Brazil, I feel at home.'

Andreas Pereira

That's what helps me keep playing: the idea of giving something to others. Because personally, I've had my fill.

Chet Faker

I feel like there's a voice in my head, always, telling me every idea is brilliant, and another telling me every idea is the worst. And they argue in my head until somebody wins, until I solicit an audience to be, like, 'Will you help me figure this out? Is this the best or the worst idea?' And they tell me!

B. J. Novak

I was actually the head of the violin after-school club. And then I was also the head of the dance club, the popping club. So one day, just by coincidence, we had to hold the two clubs at the same time. I had to go back and forth. And that's when the idea came up for dancing and playing violin at the same time.

Henry Lau

The concept of national treatment is a core component of investment and trade agreements. It promotes valuable competition on a level playing field. Investment treaties should not turn this idea on its head, giving privileges to foreign companies that are not available to domestic companies.

Jose Angel Gurria

I remember when I was writing 'The Tin Drum,' I had the totally misguided idea of giving Oskar Matzerath a sister, and he just wouldn't have it. There was no space for a sister, yet I had the character of the sister in my head. In fact I used her in later novels, in 'Cat and Mouse' and 'Dog Years,' Tulla Pokriski.

Gunter Grass

I don't see anyone playing in the major leagues today (1982) who combines both the talent and the intensity that I had. I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.

Frank Robinson

When I was a kid in the business, you always had in the back of your head this feeling that if I screw up, I might be fired. So you went out every night and tore your rear end up to make sure that you gave the best performance you can and learning constantly because you never had that idea of 'I'm so great, I'm never going to be fired.'

Shane Douglas

When I grew up, the idea that I had to be the best at everything I do was put in my head by my mother. This is just how I am. I'm not just here participating.

Valentina Shevchenko

I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.

Vincent Van Gogh

I don't know where the idea originated that memoir writing is cathartic. For me, it's always felt like playing my own neurosurgeon, sans anesthesia. As a memoirist, you have to crack your head open and examine every uncomfortable thing in there.

The Selecao is always treated as favourites, so we're aware of our responsibility, and the goal is always to enter every competition to win, and the World Cup is no different.

Fernandinho

I have to keep playing and growing and giving my best.

Gabriel Jesus

I dont know where the idea originated that memoir writing is cathartic. For me, its always felt like playing my own neurosurgeon, sans anesthesia. As a memoirist, you have to crack your head open and examine every uncomfortable thing in there.

Koren Zailckas

I don't have to come up with the best idea. It is my job to make sure that it is always the best idea that wins.
