One afternoon when I was 9 my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

The presidents of colleges have to have some courage to step forward. You can't limit alcohol in college sports you have to get rid of it.

My band is so dedicated everybody works very hard. The No. 1 priority is the show and it's pretty cool because we all pull together and it's fun. It's like being on a sports team or something.

What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.

It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

The idea that so many kids eat rubbish and sit on computers all day long appals me and getting them into sport is a major way of getting them off computers and leading healthier lives.

When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.

Measured in time of transport and communication the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago.

The waste of capital in proportion to the total capital in this country between 1800 and 1850 in the attempts which were made to establish means of communication and transportation was enormous.

There's all these ways to instantly communicate - cars computers telephone and transportation - and even with all that it's so hard to find people and have an honest communication with them.

What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it without it coming through me. It's my means of communication my means of growth my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.

Since my induction into the Sports Hall of Fame I have wanted to have my No. 3 Chevy on exhibit for sports fans to see. I hope others will enjoy the car as much as I have.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine but I don't fish I don't hunt I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic the NBA basketball player who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend an unbelievable player and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.

What Paris has done right is to make it awful to get around by car and awfully easy to get around by public transportation or by bike.

It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel to be quite honest.

In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat the canal boat and the rail car.

In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.

The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry meat-eating growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet - not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what's No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don't eat hamburgers.

All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music... and have the odd sports car in the garage obviously!

A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks video game geeks car geeks military geeks and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.

The word 'geek' today does not mean what it used to mean. A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks video game geeks car geeks military geeks and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.
