We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.
~ Raoul Vaneigem
With any character I play, I gravitate to the juxtaposition and humor.
~ Shawnee Smith
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
~ Shel Silverstein
It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.
~ Lupita Nyong'o
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.
~ Tom Hopkins
I like low-maintenance girls, but at the same time, classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball, so it's cool if she's a tomboy.
~ Chris Brown
I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play.

My favorite was always whichever sport was in season. I think these days it's almost saddening to see kids who are 10 or 11 and are forced to choose one sport and specialize in that sport and play that sport year-round. By playing different sports... you become a better all-around athlete.
~ Sam Bradford
I love outdoor sports, like volleyball, and I play them whenever I can.
~ Gisele Bundchen
I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.
~ Robert Frost
I grew up in a very 'Friday Night Lights,' sports-focused town. I did not play the sports. I was never bullied physically, but I was called names. I was also an overweight kid. I knew what it's like to feel like the other, to feel written off for things that were not in my control - my appearance, my interests.
~ Robin Lord Taylor
Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.
~ Grantland Rice
Everyone thinks I'm this jock of a woman, but I didn't play any sports. I didn't even let my kids play baseball because I was afraid they were going to get hit by balls.
~ Patti Hansen
I grew up a Michael Jordan fan; that was my first idol. But my true sports idol was Deion Sanders: he was the person I always wanted to be. I wanted to play two sports professionally, which would never happen, but to me, that was every kid's dream.
~ Tim Howard
When I used to play sports, I'd be the one cheering the team on, 'Come on, we can beat these guys!' That's just in me.

I spend a little time every day to play sports.
~ Vladimir Putin
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.
~ Lou Holtz
On the court, Jason Collins is not a huge basketball star, but he has already claimed his place in civil rights history as the first openly gay athlete to play in one of the four major U.S. sports leagues.
~ Nancy Gibbs
I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.

I'm not much involved in sports, and I don't play, either.
~ Kriti Sanon
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
~ Shaun White
That's really what drew me into wrestling. To see my own uncle put on the mask every Friday to go into the ring, and me putting on his masks to play wrestle with him. It was a whole different world when it came down to sports.
~ Rey Mysterio
When you're a pro athlete, life is very narcissistic - everything relates back to you and how you play. When you are getting out of pro sports, you suddenly have to get a little more mindful of what's going on around you and how you affect the rest of the world.
~ Abby Wambach
He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like he can.
