Acting is a sport. On stage you must be ready to move like a tennis player on his toes. Your concentration must be keen, your reflexes sharp; your body and mind are in top gear, the chase is on. Acting is energy. In the theatre people pay to see energy. ~ Clive Swift
Tennis Player quotes by Clive Swift
I think Serena Williams is the best tennis player of this generation, if not the best ever. It is amazing for her to be playing as well as she is at the age of 31. ~ Samantha Stosur
Tennis Player quotes by Samantha Stosur
As far as I knew, Nadia was still with her new guy, some fancy tennis player from Brazil. Donatello or Michelangelo or something. Ninja Turtle? Yeah. ~ Ilsa Madden-Mills
Tennis Player quotes by Ilsa Madden-Mills
Sometimes I thought about my future, because Lynn said I should. She said it was hard to tell at this point, but someday, if I didn't go to Africa to study animals, I might be a beautiful genius tennis player. I didn't worry about it one way or another. I didn't care if I was a genius or if I was pretty or if I was good in sports. I just liked to listen to Lynn and to talk to Bera-Bera and to eat rice candies. The lady who used to live down the street could take all of her top teeth out of her mouth. She wasn't allowed to eat chewy candy. I could eat any kind of candy I wanted because I still had my baby teeth. If they rotted, I would simply grow more teeth. That was pretty great. ~ Cynthia Kadohata
Tennis Player quotes by Cynthia Kadohata
Whoever said technology would replace all paper > obviously hasn't tried wiping their bottom with an iPad. Q. How do you find Will Smith in the snow? A. You look for the fresh prints. Q. Why should you never date a tennis player? A. Because love means nothing to them. ~ Hudson Moore
Tennis Player quotes by Hudson Moore
I was a professional tennis player in my teens. I played mostly in Europe. I was top 10 in the world in juniors, and then I messed up my back. I had three herniated discs and that put a stop to it. ~ Boris Kodjoe
Tennis Player quotes by Boris Kodjoe
I'm a decent tennis player. Good backhand. ~ Idina Menzel
Tennis Player quotes by Idina Menzel
I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches. ~ Pete Sampras
Tennis Player quotes by Pete Sampras
It makes you also realize, 'OK, I'm excited to play tennis, and I work really hard to be the best tennis player I think I can be,' but I don't waste my time on stupid stuff, you know what I mean. ~ Kim Clijsters
Tennis Player quotes by Kim Clijsters
Relationships are give-and-take, and when you're a tennis player, you're certainly not giving. You have to be self-absorbed. It has to be about you. ~ Chris Evert
Tennis Player quotes by Chris Evert
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player. ~ Bill Gates
Tennis Player quotes by Bill Gates
I was never pegged to be the next great American tennis player by any means. I wasn't a prodigy. I'm a late bloomer. Whatever happens, I'm proud of what I've done. ~ John Isner
Tennis Player quotes by John Isner
When I play, I feel like I'm in a theatre, why should I look ugly then, because I'm a tennis-player? ~ Anna Kournikova
Tennis Player quotes by Anna Kournikova
The world's No. 1 tennis player spends 90 percent of his time winning, while the world's No. 1 golfer spends 90 percent of his time losing. Golfers are great losers. ~ David Feherty
Tennis Player quotes by David Feherty
You want to try and win as many slams as possible in your career. As a tennis player, that's what we always dream of as a kid, wanting to play slams, wanting to win them. ~ Sania Mirza
Tennis Player quotes by Sania Mirza
My only wish would be to have 10 more lives to live on this planet. If that were possible, I'd spend one lifetime each in embryology, genetics, physics, astronomy and geology. The other lifetimes would be as a pianist, backwoodsman, tennis player, or writer for the 'National Geographic.' ~ Joseph Murray
Tennis Player quotes by Joseph Murray
He knew what the Beats know and what the great tennis player knows, son: learn to do nothing, with your whole head and body, and everything will be done by what's around you. ~ David Foster Wallace
Tennis Player quotes by David Foster Wallace
John McEnroe ... was arguably the best serve-and-volley man of all time, but then McEnroe was an exception to pretty much every predictive norm there was. At his peak (say 1980 to 1984), he was the greatest tennis player who ever lived-the most talented, the most beautiful, the most tormented: a genius. For me, watching McEnroe don a blue polyester blazer and do stiff lame truistic color commentary for TV is like watching Faulkner do a Gap ad. ~ David Foster Wallace
Tennis Player quotes by David Foster Wallace
I Pray That A Tennis Player Should Emerge From Ranchi As MS Dhoni Emerged For Cricket ~ Sania Mirza
Tennis Player quotes by Sania Mirza
I was an accomplished junior tennis player up to around fourteen years old. At fourteen or fifteen I made the decision to venture off to make my life 100% music. ~ Aaron Zigman
Tennis Player quotes by Aaron Zigman
The pleasure of sport was so often the chance to indulge the cessation of time itself
the pitcher dawdling on the mound, the skier poised at the top of a mountain trail, the basketball player with the rough skin of the ball against his palm preparing for a foul shot, the tennis player at set point over his opponent
all of them savoring a moment before committing themselves to action. ~ George Plimpton
Tennis Player quotes by George Plimpton
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper. ~ Roger Federer
Tennis Player quotes by Roger Federer
As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it. ~ Bjorn Borg
Tennis Player quotes by Bjorn Borg
In Hollywood people lie to each other and cheat each other and then go and play tennis. But I don't want to be a tennis player. ~ David Geffen
Tennis Player quotes by David Geffen
For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player. ~ Andy Murray
Tennis Player quotes by Andy Murray
As a child, I wanted to be an athlete, a professional tennis player or something like that. ~ Jonathan Ames
Tennis Player quotes by Jonathan Ames
Every stroke a tennis player plays is different, yet we perceive them as playing in a distinctive and unique way. It's what Heidegger called a certain 'how' of existing. It's ultimately always singular, and the double task of (a) getting it in view and (b) communicating it to others will inevitably be marked more often by failure than success! ~ George Pattison
Tennis Player quotes by George Pattison
I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience. ~ Maria Sharapova
Tennis Player quotes by Maria Sharapova
I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend. ~ Dakota Fanning
Tennis Player quotes by Dakota Fanning
No tennis player is perfect. Even if you're world #1, I don't think, you still have things to improve on, and I'm not even close to that. So I am going to have weaknesses in my game; I am going to have strengths in my game, but I still have time to develop a lot of things, hopefully, and we'll see how it goes. ~ Sania Mirza
Tennis Player quotes by Sania Mirza
I'm a terrible musician. While the band members are great, I'm tolerated and affectionately regarded because I do movies, but if I had to make my living as a musician I would starve. I'm like a Sunday tennis player. ~ Woody Allen
Tennis Player quotes by Woody Allen
I'm actually a pretty good tennis player! ~ Randy Jackson
Tennis Player quotes by Randy Jackson
I actually wanted to be a tennis player. ~ Constance Jablonski
Tennis Player quotes by Constance Jablonski
As a tennis player, you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better. ~ Stanislas Wawrinka
Tennis Player quotes by Stanislas Wawrinka
At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time. ~ Oleg Cassini
Tennis Player quotes by Oleg Cassini
To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours. ~ Guy Forget
Tennis Player quotes by Guy Forget
Any quality player can adjust well to the different demands. It is like a good tennis player who is expected to adjust to the clay at the French Open, the grass at Wimbledon, the hard courts of the U.S. and the heat of the Australian Open. A professional is expected to do all that. ~ Gautam Gambhir
Tennis Player quotes by Gautam Gambhir
A lot of people now think Im a shoe. They dont even know I was a tennis player. The shoe has really taken on a life of its own, way beyond me. ~ Stan Smith
Tennis Player quotes by Stan Smith
A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. You must act as you breathe. ~ Georges Clemenceau
Tennis Player quotes by Georges Clemenceau
It's silly to say it about a tennis player, but I'm an unbelievable hero in Germany. And Germany needs heroes more than any place. ~ Boris Becker
Tennis Player quotes by Boris Becker
I understand popular entertainment better than anyone. I want to have the world's No. 1 tennis player, the hottest movie, the biggest artist. ~ Simon Fuller
Tennis Player quotes by Simon Fuller
No one ever asked me if I wanted to play tennis, let alone make it my life. My father decided long before I was born that I would be a professional tennis player. ~ Andre Agassi
Tennis Player quotes by Andre Agassi
I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on. ~ Jim Courier
Tennis Player quotes by Jim Courier
We imply, and often believe, that habitual vices are exceptional single acts, and make the opposite mistake about our virtues - like the bad tennis player who calls his normal form his 'bad days' and mistakes his rare successes for his normal. I ~ C.S. Lewis
Tennis Player quotes by C.S. Lewis
If you look at tennis, the girls have become much more attractive; they wear makeup. In my generation, you were a tennis player. It wasn't like you had to look a certain way. ~ Monica Seles
Tennis Player quotes by Monica Seles
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player. ~ Jack Nicholson
Tennis Player quotes by Jack Nicholson
I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldn't have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made. ~ Rafael Nadal
Tennis Player quotes by Rafael Nadal
As a kid, I was a little self-conscious because I was so much taller than everyone. A bad habit of mine used to be slouching. Eventually, I realized my height was something I couldn't control, so I might as well accept it. I've certainly turned it into a positive, because without my height I probably wouldn't be as good of a tennis player. It's a gift, and I've made something of it. ~ John Isner
Tennis Player quotes by John Isner
Ask any comedian, tennis player, chef. Timing is everything. ~ Meg Rosoff
Tennis Player quotes by Meg Rosoff
It's pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Theresa at the same time and that's just the way it is. ~ Maria Sharapova
Tennis Player quotes by Maria Sharapova
I knew I was the second-best tennis player in the state of Florida and No. 8 in the United States of America when I was 12 years old and I couldn't tell you what I was in baseball, but I liked my chances in tennis of getting a scholarship to college. ~ Jim Courier
Tennis Player quotes by Jim Courier
There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.' ~ Arthur Ashe
Tennis Player quotes by Arthur Ashe
Bill Tilden was the greatest - and most improbably great - tennis player of the age. ~ Bill Bryson
Tennis Player quotes by Bill Bryson
Dating a tennis player is risky - love means nothing to us. ~ Anna Kournikova
Tennis Player quotes by Anna Kournikova
I am completely an elitist in the cultural but emphatically not the social sense. I prefer the good to the bad, the articulate to the mumbling, the aesthetically developed to the merely primitive, and full to partial consciousness. I love the spectacle of skill, whether it's an expert gardener at work or a good carpenter chopping dovetails. I don't think stupid or ill-read people are as good to be with as wise and fully literate ones. I would rather watch a great tennis player than a mediocre one, unless the latter is a friend or a relative. Consequently, most of the human race doesn't matter much to me, outside the normal and necessary frame of courtesy and the obligation to respect human rights. I see no reason to squirm around apologizing for this. I am, after all, a cultural critic, and my main job is to distinguish the good from the second-rate, pretentious, sentimental, and boring stuff that saturates culture today, more (perhaps) than it ever has. I hate populist [shit], no matter how much the demos love it. ~ Robert Hughes
Tennis Player quotes by Robert Hughes
That $27,000 that a young player will now get just for making the main draw at the Australian Open is huge. It can set them up for a couple of months which at that level you really do need that kind of help. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you're travelling the world trying to make it as a tennis player, it doesn't last long. ~ Samantha Stosur
Tennis Player quotes by Samantha Stosur
My favorite tennis player, who I'm amazed by, is Roger Federer. ~ Doug Davidson
Tennis Player quotes by Doug Davidson
Because I was a tennis player, Billie Jean King was a hero of mine. ~ Sally Ride
Tennis Player quotes by Sally Ride
I like playing tennis. I've always enjoyed the process of being a tennis player; I'm just not sure that I enjoyed the travel at the end, and my body didn't recover from the day-to-day grind. ~ Andy Roddick
Tennis Player quotes by Andy Roddick
He took me in skeptically. "Darling, the ensemble is fabulous," he said, patting my hand, eyeing my black jacket, black tie, black silk shirt, and heavily pegged black satin pants, "but I'm not so sure about the white sneakers."
"But they're essential to my costume."
"Your costume? What are you dressed as?"
"A tennis player in mourning. ~ Patti Smith
Tennis Player quotes by Patti Smith
A tennis player at twenty-nine can seem like the oldest person in the world. She's been through an entire life span already, from youth to middle age to "get off the court, you're too damn old." A pro athetle really dies twice. At the end, like everyone else, but also at somewhere closer to the beginning, when she loses the only life she's ever known. ~ Maria Sharapova
Tennis Player quotes by Maria Sharapova
No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square. ~ Andre Agassi
Tennis Player quotes by Andre Agassi
What drove me to become the world's greatest bodybuilder is no different from what drives other athletes to become great tennis players or boxers or jockeys. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Tennis Player quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
In the early years of the Roaring Twenties, American women not only won the right to vote but they also earned headlines along side their male counterparts during the Golden Age of American sports. Michael Bohn shares an engaging story of how two sports heroines, tennis player Helen Wills and swimmer Gertrude Ederle, helped embolden women to seek self-fulfillment by challenging the status quo. ~ Donna De Varona
Tennis Player quotes by Donna De Varona
Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever. ~ Billie Jean King
Tennis Player quotes by Billie Jean King
I am the best tennis player who cannot play tennis. ~ Ion Tiriac
Tennis Player quotes by Ion Tiriac
I know my serve stinks, but I was a pretty good tennis player. ~ George H. W. Bush
Tennis Player quotes by George H. W. Bush
I'm a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I'd be lucky to get a couple of points. ~ Matt Kuchar
Tennis Player quotes by Matt Kuchar
I don't know if tennis players feel like that but when you have a great opponent - although I didn't feel like he [ Ben Mendelsohn ] was an opponent - you just know your game is going to jack up and it's just going to raise the bar. I couldn't wait for that elevation. ~ John Leguizamo
Tennis Player quotes by John Leguizamo
I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play. ~ Boris Becker
Tennis Player quotes by Boris Becker
If they had rankings in baseball, maybe I would have been able to do the math and figure out my chances of being a professional baseball player versus a tennis player. But that was the decision-maker for me, I just thought I was better in tennis. ~ Jim Courier
Tennis Player quotes by Jim Courier
I don't mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That's all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable. ~ Roger Federer
Tennis Player quotes by Roger Federer
It's something I've always wanted - to be known as an Australian. When I was younger I was always referred to as an Aboriginal tennis player. Now I think the award means that I have been recognised as an entertainer and that makes me happy ... It's given me probably as big a kick as winning Wimbledon. ~ Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Tennis Player quotes by Evonne Goolagong Cawley
Sometimes it's harder to play good tennis with a bad tennis player - the same way it's hard to be a good actor with a bad actor. It's just an unpleasant experience. ~ Josh Lucas
Tennis Player quotes by Josh Lucas
Between the amateur and the professional ... there is a difference not only in degree but in kind. The skillful man is, within the function of his skill, a different psychological organization ... A tennis player or a watchmaker or an airplane pilot is an automatism but he is also criticism and wisdom. ~ Bernard DeVoto
Tennis Player quotes by Bernard DeVoto
Well, I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am, and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years, not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are, in this moment, the biggest ambassadors that our country has. ~ Novak Djokovic
Tennis Player quotes by Novak Djokovic
I think my family needs me more than anybody else, and tennis doesn't need me anymore. I respect my wife a lot for taking all that in. She said, 'I didn't marry a tennis player; you'd retired.' Now it's time to do something else. ~ Thomas Muster
Tennis Player quotes by Thomas Muster
It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing
especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person. ~ Billie Jean King
Tennis Player quotes by Billie Jean King
I never drop a player I only make changes. ~ Bill Shankly
Tennis Player quotes by Bill Shankly
Oh, hello," Dr. M says, shaking Balder's hand. "Wonderful costume. I'm a bit of a role player myself on the weekends. Tell me, where did you get the helmet?"
It was forged in the North, blessed by the hands of Odin, given to me by my mother, Frigg," Balder answers.
Lovely. I got mine on the Internet. ~ Libba Bray
Tennis Player quotes by Libba Bray
I dont want to return to France, because Ive won everything there - league title, cup, best player, best young player ~ Eden Hazard
Tennis Player quotes by Eden Hazard
The pattern of your breathing affects the pattern of your performance. When you are under stress, deep breathing helps bring your mind and body back into the present.Over the years I have handed out thousands of little stickers to athletes that read 'Breathe and Focus.' A baseball player will place the bright orange circle on the shoulder of his uniform or underneath the bill of his cap, or on the barrel of his bat. A hockey player might affix it to his stick. Firefighters I have worked with place the stickers on their self-contained breathing apparatus. The stickers serve as a reminder. Whenever they feel themselves growing anxious, breathe in energy. Breathe out negativity. Breathe in relaxation. Breathe out stress. ~ Gary Mack
Tennis Player quotes by Gary Mack
I just try to concentrate on concentrating. ~ Martina Navratilova
Tennis Player quotes by Martina Navratilova
I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water. ~ Bethany Hamilton
Tennis Player quotes by Bethany Hamilton
I'm the most successful bad player ever. ~ Andy Roddick
Tennis Player quotes by Andy Roddick
The biggest journalistic game-changer of our time has been the rise of social media and the overgrowth of faux news sources - league- and team-sponsored blogs, player tweets, fanboy sites, rumor mills - churning bits of information and speculation into a clattering fog storm. Who will cut through the drivel and whim-wham to tell us what's really going on? ~ Robert Lipsyte
Tennis Player quotes by Robert Lipsyte
Golf is about knowledge, and studying another player - more than listening to a teacher - is the best way to get it. ~ Vijay Singh
Tennis Player quotes by Vijay Singh
Before you go anywhere, Mr. Football Player," Nita said, "I want to know exactly what your intentions are toward my Blue. ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Tennis Player quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
The greatest ally you have to get things working well and the players performing as a team is the bench. Don't be afraid to use it, either for the star player or anyone else. ~ John Wooden
Tennis Player quotes by John Wooden
The main reason for doing it now had more to do with the players. This is a great group. This particular group has really worked hard to prepare themselves. And we have a chance to have a good football team. ~ LaVell Edwards
Tennis Player quotes by LaVell Edwards
You need players that stand for emotion in football. Football today is a game for television. ~ Berti Vogts
Tennis Player quotes by Berti Vogts
The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish. ~ George Benson
Tennis Player quotes by George Benson
Playing rapid chess, one can lose the habit of concentrating for several hours in serious chess. That is why, if a player has big aims, he should limit his rapidplay in favour of serious chess. ~ Vladimir Kramnik
Tennis Player quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
To me, throwback means I'm a smart player. I know how to play the game. I'm very skilled. I do a lot of things that other people don't do. ~ Kevin Love
Tennis Player quotes by Kevin Love
Years ago R.N.A. was kind of a bit player in the cell. Now our picture's completely inverted, and we think R.N.A.'s really the important thing. ~ Jack W. Szostak
Tennis Player quotes by Jack W. Szostak
Casey rested his forehead on his hands and began to recite his list of get-rid-of-my-erection-now things. "Wrinkly old testicles with masses of gray hair. Applying hemorrhoid cream. Rotten eggs broken in the house. Tennis shoes that haven't been washed for years. Moldy cabbage. Three-day-old roadkill. Toilets that don't flush properly. Accidentally using sports rub for lubricant. ~ Renae Kaye
Tennis Player quotes by Renae Kaye
Like dogs who sniff each other when meeting, chess players have a ritual at first acquaintance: they sit down to play speed chess. ~ Anatoly Karpov
Tennis Player quotes by Anatoly Karpov
When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around. It felt like I had a lot of babies around me. ~ Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Tennis Player quotes by Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Footwork is one of the primary prerequisites to becoming a great player ~ Mike Krzyzewski
Tennis Player quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
1. In the end, as much as the responsibility seems to lie with Beijing, it also lies with the global consumer. Our appetite for the $30 DVD player and the $3 T-shirt helps keep jewelry factories filled with dust, illegal mines open and 16-year-olds working past midnight. We all pay the China price. ~ Alexandra Harney
Tennis Player quotes by Alexandra Harney
