You'd go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air.
~By Dick York ~
Nothing is sacred to a gamester.
~By Bernard Joseph Saurin ~
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
~By Kobe Bryant ~
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
~By Thomas Jefferson ~
I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.
~By Ed Belfour ~
My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.
~By Dennis Bergkamp ~
Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
~By Alessandro Del Piero ~
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.
~By Michael Lewis ~
We're just going to come out and play. We know that we're supposed to win all the games, but if we don't, we just have to take the next game and focus on what we did wrong in the game before and just try to do better at the next game.
~By Shaquille O'Neal ~
Kids don't learn the fundamentals of baseball at the games anymore.
~By Bill Lee ~
There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.
~By Sebastian Coe ~
I think games are starting to branch out. It's not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit.
~By Christian Slater ~
At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in, and middle class incomes are stagnant, many want to change the subject. I don't. This was a prank, and a silly one. I'm focused on my work.
~By Anthony Weiner ~
Do we settle on a regional team because we can go to its ballpark and see its games on television? Or do we choose a team as our favorite because it has an especially appealing player, a Barry Bonds or an Ichiro?
~By John Thorn ~
Man, if I made one million dollars I would come in at six in the morning, sweep the stands, wash the uniforms, clean out the office, manage the team and play the games.
~By Duke Snider ~
The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.
~By Bill Toomey ~
Working with Sturges was like working with a guy who wanted to have a party all the time. He was very serious about his work, but in between shots, he was fun and we would play games.
~By Eddie Bracken ~
The issue of the Betrayal was so central to that, I felt the need to comment upon it. My choices were to ignore the games and put them "outside" of continuity or to integrate them. I chose the latter.
~By Raymond E. Feist ~
At some point he seemed to lose all confidence trying to break down the Berlin Wall. He was still fighting as only Kasparov can, but I could see it in his eyes that he knew he wasn't going to win one of these games.
~By Vladimir Kramnik ~
If you never concede a goal, you're going to win more games than you lose.
~By Bobby Moore ~
There are one-hundred fifty-four games in a season and you can find one-hundred fifty-four reasons why your team should have won every one of them.
~By Bill Klem ~
Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.
~By Peter Bondra ~
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
~By Andrew Bogut ~
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
~By Babe Ruth ~
South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.
~By Kim Il sung ~
Right now, more people enjoy movies, music, television and movies than they do video games.
~By J Allard ~
If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.
~By Bruce Jenner ~
This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career.
~By Placido Domingo ~
Actually, as that first association continued, we got a little more legitimate. In those days, they asked Boy Scout troops to act as ushers during the football games. So we signed up and I went to many games in full Boy Scout uniform as an usher.
~By Daniel J. Evans ~
We cannot and will not ban the creation of violent video games. But, we can prevent the distribution of these disturbing games to children, where their effects can be negative.
~By Herb Kohl ~
The guys from Atari that are making the next Alone in the Dark game came and we had a great meeting. I'd love to do that. I'm a fan of videogames. I like them. And to get to be part of one of them would be a fun and exciting thing.
~By Christian Slater ~
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.
~By Bo Jackson ~
All the characters and plots were predetermined. Games make bad plots.
~By Margaret Weis ~
I have seen games on Xbox 360 and HD TV and I'm amazed at how realistic the players look.
~By Claudio Reyna ~
There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.
~By Lawrence Taylor ~
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
~By Ben Hogan ~
We have to try and not let the little things go by. It's the little things that win games. It's the little things that often get overlooked that can add two or three more wins.
~By Kenny Harrison ~
We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.
~By Shannon Miller ~
I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I'm really into them.
~By Jason Kidd ~
Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

~By Merlin Olsen ~
Videogames are a little more work and they're a little more stilted.
~By Carlos Alazraqui ~
By the new year of 1994, it had grown up into Inform 4 and could produce games twice as large.
~By Graham Nelson ~
In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.
~By Joe Shuster ~
The experience of creating my adventure games was, other than marrying my husband and bringing into the world my two sons, the most fulfilling, wonderful experience I ever had.
~By Roberta Williams ~
Also at the top of the list was my three day appearance on 'Press Your Luck'. In addition to the intense competition of each of those games, it slowly started to dawn on me in the minutes between tapings that I was winning some serious money.
~By Randy West ~
Sectional football games have the glory and the despair of war, and when a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners.
~By John Steinbeck ~
And I suggested to change very simple way to Olympic Games, in one competition, two different levels. Separate from, until sixteen, and after sixteen years old.
~By Olga Korbut ~
I never let any of my sons beat me at videogames.
~By Coolio ~
It's all fun and games 'till someone loses an eye, then it's just fun you can't see.
~By James Hetfield ~
As the days went on, I didn't mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark I'd be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that's why the veterans liked me.
~By Al Kaline ~
I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park.
~By Merlin Olsen ~
I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
~By Kobe Bryant ~
In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises.
~By Ken Thompson ~
We played soccer a lot with our friends and at school. We weren't on an official team or anything, but we'd definitely be up for it in gym or in after-school pickup games where we live.
~By Mary-Kate Olsen ~
I think there are more female characters in videogames now but I also think that's because videogames in general are more diverse now.
~By Tara Strong ~
I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
~By Ben Hogan ~
Some games you win, some you lose, and some you draw.
~By Michel Patini ~
We have made drugs an Olympic event. It receives most of the coverage at the Games and even the suspicion of guilt can ruin a reputation for life.
~By Bill Toomey ~
I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.
~By Julie Benz ~
The memories of the Munich games for me are of triumph and tragedy.
~By Mark Spitz ~
I think computing power is ready to do 3D justice. It was great for shooters and racing games in the past, but I didn't think it was right for strategy games.
~By Sid Meier ~
The letters were universally complimentary, and we designers loved hearing that our games were being enjoyed, but if they weren't sending us a picture of their screens most of those writers would have spent their time playing the game rather than writing letters.
~By David Crane ~
Also, after people play these Sim games, it tends to change their perception of the world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing.
~By Will Wright ~
It's a story of little girls who are pressed into working in sweat shops in games, who spend all day doing repetitive grinding tasks like making shirts, which are then converted into gold and sold on eBay.
~By Cory Doctorow ~
They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.
~By Casey Stengel ~
I'd been ready too, because before Olympic Games, I wasn't compete in big competition like, World Championship, like European Championship. I just competed in national competition.
~By Olga Korbut ~
It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.
~By Vida Blue ~
I'm creating the kind of games that I like right now. I'm not being held back by technology.
~By John Romero ~
It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they'd be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that.
~By John Cleese ~
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
~By Pierre de Coubertin ~
I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.
~By Latrell Sprewell ~
The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games.
~By Eugene Jarvis ~
I'll be here in my home with three big screens. I'll be watching three games at a time, and when they're over, I'll look at three more.
~By Hayden Fry ~
But there is something to the fact that we don't see games on the West Coast, or we don't see games on the East Coast, and stuff like that. It's so unfair, because there is a bias that takes place.
~By Marcus Allen ~
I haven't played a chess match for several decades. At one point I lost most of my chess games. Then I realized many of my competitors were memorizing the best moves and I was unwilling to do this.
~By John Harsanyi ~
I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it's not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.
~By Darren Aronofsky ~
Everybody wants you to do good things, but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry, have children and go to their football games.
~By Faith Hill ~
I'm hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh, eat, play games, get massages, win prizes, talk about parenting and even cry a bit.
~By Lisa Whelchel ~
The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.
~By Greg Louganis ~
I think video games are a great kind of entertainment. They have replaced a lot of games people normally play with their friends and neighbours, like Monopoly.
~By Uwe Boll ~
Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
~By Bill Budge ~
To be great we need to win games we aren't supposed to win.
~By Julius Erving ~
Kids just don't read any more. They spend much more time with video games. It's just hard to get kids to read anything. Book sales have dropped dramatically, too. I think 90% of the books are bought only by 5% of the US population.
~By Stan Sakai ~
Most ball games are lost, not won.
~By Casey Stengel ~
You play to win, to get that World Series ring, All-Star games and whatever comes with it.
~By Nick Johnson ~

~By Neil Patrick Harris ~
I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.
~By Penny Marshall ~
I hope we can build our offense and go out there and win games.
~By Jamal Lewis ~
Technology is permeating every single thing we do... And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future.
~By Marc Morial ~
Games lubricate the body and the mind.
~By Benjamin Franklin ~
Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.
~By Inge de Bruijn ~
No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.
~By Bill Parcells ~
I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.
~By LeBron James ~
Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.
~By Cleo Moore ~
I think the Lombardi teams enjoyed and wanted to get into the big games.
~By Ray Nitschke ~
I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.
