I don`t know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.
Martha Graham
[on Alan Ladd] Having been fascinated by the Alan Ladd phenomenon, I now had the opportunity to study it at close quarters. It turned out that he had the exquisite coordination and rhythm of an athlete, which made it a pleasure to watch him when he was be...
James Mason
Whatever luck I had, I made. I was never a natural athlete, but I paid my dues in sweat and concentration and took the time necessary to learn karate and become world champion.
Chuck Norris
Everyone who makes films has to be an athlete to a certain degree because cinema does not come from abstract academic thinking; it comes from your knees and thighs.
Werner Herzog
I had no natural gift to be anything--not an athlete, not an actor, not a writer, not a director, a painter of garden porches--not anything. So I`ve worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
Paul Newman
[on Errol Flynn] Flynn was a magnificent specimen of the rampant male. Outrageously good looking, he was a great natural athlete who played tennis with Donald Budge and boxed with "Mushy" Calahan. The extras, among whom I had many friends, disliked him in...
David Niven
I have some cool talents. I`m really flexible and can do all sorts of twisted yoga positions. And I`m a big athlete and especially love soccer.
Genevieve Cortese
I have seen Daniel Craig in a number of films. He is a thundering good actor. The movie Casino Royale (2006) showed me that he is one hell of an athlete.
Roger Moore
Discussing his illness: "Well the news shocked the hell out of me. Nothing was further from my mind, since I`m only 54 and, with rare exceptions, I`d been healthy my whole life. Not that I don`t deserve to have a cancer. I`m a good athlete and I work out ...
Michael Landon
I`ve always looked at my career as an athlete would look at his. I won`t play forever. Some don`t know when to walk away, but the smart ones do.
Mark Wahlberg
How can a guy climb trees, say Me, Tarzan, you, Jane," and make a million? The public forgives my acting because they know I was an athlete. They know I wasn`t make-believe." [On his role as Tarzan in some 20 films between 1932 and 1949]
Johnny Weissmuller
You could saw off both of her arms, and she would still want to compete. She is just that kind of athlete. There is no mountain that`s too high for her. She will come out and give everything she has.
Michael Walker
You can`t really describe how difficult it is to deal with. It is any athlete`s worst nightmare to be accused of cheating by taking drugs. It really is very difficult to put into words how it makes you feel.
Gregory (Greg) Rusedski
When you`re an athlete and can expose to people that you battle a lot of the same things that they go through, it helps them believe in themselves. You`re talking about someone who is established as a very good player in this league who is able to relate ...
Barb Snyder
When you think about it, he looks like a young Whoopi Goldberg with those braids in his hair, ... But Chris is such a good athlete. He`s smart, and he`s patient, too. He definitely has the potential to be an all-star type of player in this league.
Audrey Kader
When we found out that J.P. would not be available for the season, we recognized an opportunity to get David and we went for it, David is a strong athlete who is getting better every day. He can play singles and doubles, he gets you some easy points with ...
Chuck Adams
We were trying to kick it away from Graves and we kicked it over there to Chris Fountain, ... The next thing I know he`s going up the sideline. I should have known better that that because his dad (Richard) was a pretty good athlete.
Derek Anderson
We think that array of issues in each student`s admission will give us the kind of latitude we need to recruit a world-class tuba player, a world-class designer, a world-class athlete to our program.
Audrey Steele Burnand
We tell them that every team we face has nothing to lose, ... They`d all like nothing more than to say they unseated us. Yes, that`s pressure, but it`s part of being an athlete.
Austin Adams
We joke on our morning show because he`s so perfect, ... He`s a great athlete, a hometown guy, good looking. I wouldn`t be surprised if he was running a foster puppy shelter out of his basement and helping sick children in his spare time.
Angie Kuhn
