One and done, Home Run Derby champion. It was a cool experience. I enjoyed it all, but I don't think I really need to go out there and do it again.

Aaron Judge

When I decided to write a novel about Istanbul, I thought I should put the different faces of Istanbul into one book. I also put the characters in a cell, and it's three stories underground, rather than on the surface. The characters have one Istanbul, the other one is above ground. One is in dark, one is in light. That kind of contradiction - those opposite sides - creates a great energy in Istanbul.

Burhan Sonmez

Istanbul is divided by time, not space. The first Istanbul is the Istanbul of the past. A long time ago, during the empire, it was beautiful, it was the glorious time of our nation, people say. Then, when they talk about today, they complain about it: It's very melancholic, it's very stressful. We've lost our golden age in the past, and now we're living in our dark era.

Burhan Sonmez

Either I conquer Istanbul or Istanbul conquers me.

Mehmed the Conqueror

I came across humanity in Istanbul, and all I know about life comes from Istanbul, and definitely, I am writing about Istanbul. I also love the city because I live there, it has formed me, and it's me. Of course it is natural. If somebody lived all his life in Delhi, he will write about Delhi.

Orhan Pamuk

I think everyone knows what it means to play a derby - it doesn't matter which derby it is.

Bruno Fernandes

I kind of press pause when it's a derby, and the season doesn't matter to me anymore; it's all about the derby.

Vincent Kompany

I enjoyed playing against Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool but the north London derby was totally different. I have so many great memories from this fixture.

Robert Pires

A derby is a derby. When you play a derby, it is for winning, not just to play.

Patrice Evra

It was always difficult for me to listen to my singing voice for the first 20 years or so. I mean, I really enjoyed singing, and I enjoyed doing live shows, but being in a recording studio and having to hear my voice played back to me would really drive me up the wall.

John Prine

Istanbul is an unbelievable city, just really beautiful and the people are really, really nice.

Jordan Larson

I really enjoyed writing the adaptation of 'Into The Woods.' I thought it was wonderful to not be the director, frankly. I really enjoyed that aspect of it.

James Lapine

In some circles, the Mint 400 is a far, far better thing than the Superbowl, the Kentucky Derby, and the lower Oakland roller derby finals all rolled into one. This race attracts a very special breed.

Hunter S. Thompson

I played my first derby, I won, and I scored. As good as it gets!

Edin Dzeko

Sometimes in a derby it is not always easy to see a very good game with big quality but the power of one derby means you can see good things happen after one result.
