I've seen a lot of great players that couldn't get to the top because of horses, and I've seen a lot of normal players that got higher and higher because of horses.

Facundo Pieres

I have seen players and coaches come and go, but through it all, I have always known Cleveland is where I want to retire. But life doesn't always work the way you want it to, and at the end of the day, the saying, 'This is a business,' is unfortunately true.

Anderson Varejao

I think there are a lot of good players in the top 20, top 30 that are top-10 players. You got to get there. You got to earn it.

Bernard Tomic

There are so many good players in the NBA, and I just want to be at the top of the talent pool. I want opposing coaches and players to fear me.

Ray Allen

People say, 'Oh, so you should retire.' Yeah, you want me to retire so you won't get knocked out. I won't retire.

Vitor Belfort

It is everyone's dream to play for England and we have got a lot of top players in that midfield and lot of competition. For me to break in there, I have got to keep the form up for club at the top level.

Harry Winks

I've definitely seen a lot of good players since I've came to Australia and I've definitely seen a lot of players that could easily play in the Championship in England.

Ross McCormack

The people who live the life of their dreams take risks. And on top of that, they persist. And on top of that, they trust themselves. And on top of that, they don't let circumstances hold them back, because they know that they are more powerful than their circumstances.

Mastin Kipp

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.

Brett Favre

In the last year I have gained a lot of experience because I have been playing against top players and realized what things to work on to get better. Top players basically tell you what your weaknesses are on the court.

Maria Sharapova

A lot of players are slow to change, you're playing good,( you think) why do I want to mess with that ? It takes a lot of testing, a lot of practice and observation of the ball, especially under competitive circumstances, to realize this is a better product and I need to start using it.

David Duval

There's that talent thing where I can score goals, and there's also that want and ambition to keep doing it and doing it and doing it. I've seen a lot of players do it for a year and then they rest on their laurels, but I've been very driven throughout my career. Without being the most talented, I think I've tried to make the most of it.

Frank Lampard

If you'd asked me when I was 18 if I'd be happy being in the top 100 male players for 10 years, I'd have taken that like a shot. As it turned out I was top five for a decade.

Tim Henman

A lot of people want to retire; I couldn't. You don't retire in our business. What, play golf and watch television? Oh, please.

Christopher Plummer

To have a manager who has worked with top players, top strikers, who have played in my position, it's always nice to know that when he is giving me information, he's coached these players before so it's important I take it on board.
