If you have spent any time with Barack Obama you know he's a funny guy. He's a good guy. He knows sports.

I'm a big sports fan in general.

Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart.

Sports teams people who follow sports teams religion churches work - any company I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.

I would like to do a sports movie.

I am big into water sports and just being out on the water. That is second nature to me being from Florida.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all but when I got home it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

As a kid I was fascinated with sports and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports like books about Baseball Joe as one baseball hero was called.

I think money in general hurts all sports.

One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer.
