I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard. - Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun! - Wayne Gretzky
People in general want to build somebody up and then try to knock them down. They always root for the underdog. - Wayne Gretzky
When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity. - Wayne Gretzky
I am not an Englishman, I was never an Englishman, and I don't ever want to be one. I am a Scotsman! I was a Scotsman and I will always be one. - Sean Connery
I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies. - Sean Connery
My view is that to get anywhere in life you have to be anti-social, otherwise you’ll end up being devoured. I’ve never been particularly social, anyway, but if I’ve ever been rude, fifty per cent of it has usually been provoked by other people’s attitudes. - Sean Connery
When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious. - Sean Connery
I know so many women in their 30s who didn't get married, or they did and it didn't work out, or they didn't have children because they were trying to get their careers going, or because they were expected to be independent, plus have a family. They didn't feel secure enough. - Uma Thurman
I think we are living in a time, where as a whole, as a community, people do want to push the boundaries. - Uma Thurman
Honestly, the best skater that I've seen who raps is Tyler, The Creator. He really can skate... He's legit. - Tony Hawk
In ramp skating, there's this guy Alex Perelson who's really coming into his own and doing some amazing new stuff we haven't seen before. Just different types of spin. - Tony Hawk
Most snarky critics had their minds set before ever seeing/playing the game. I'm proud of what we created; it's innovative, responsive & fun. - Tony Hawk
The pro skaters I know are responsible members of society. Many of them are fathers, homeowners, world travelers and successful entrepreneurs. Their hairdos and tattoos are simply part of our culture, even when they raise eyebrows during PTA meetings. - Tony Hawk
There's a stigma to skating. People think of it as a kid's sport. People kept telling me I couldn't possibly make a living out of it. Then they said I couldn't keep it up in my 30s. And here I am in my 40s, and I'm still improving my skills. - Tony Hawk
And that's why we don't have a chance to actually win, ... People don't realize (that) it's a different group that nominates you than actually votes for you to win.
Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.
I find Mormons adorable. I love Disneyland and old musicals, and, to me, Mormonism fits right in with all of that.
