He has been preparing for this season since January.

Alex Pettyfer

Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.

Tommy Thompson

The time to stop using these products is now,

Scott Kiser

We just put the products out for public comment, and we have what we think is a wonderful new probabilistic product.

Tony Lopez

All my friends think we?re going to get slaughtered. I really do think we?re going to win. I just want to shut everyone up.

Alan Hansen

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

Alan Hansen

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

Alain Prost

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

Alain Prost

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

When I drove for British teams... they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.

Alain Prost

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

I can say that the happiest period of my life has been since I emerged from the shadows and superstitions of the old theologies, relieved from all gloomy apprehensions of the future, satisfied that as my labors and capacities were limited to this sphere of action, I was responsible for nothing beyond my horizon, as I could neither understand nor change the condition of the unknown world. Giving ourselves, then, no trouble about the future, let us make the most of the present, and fill up our lives with earnest work here.

Patricia Marx

I do not find the concept of consorting with unknown persons appealing.

Gotye

I guess Surrealism has a draw for me because it's an unknown world. It's a world of subconscious. Some things you can't really get your hands on very easily. Things that are kind of nebulous and they feel like they're not completely formed. You have to feel your way through that.

Jon Burnham

The big unknown in this is the geopolitical situation,

John Lennon

I am going into an unknown future, but I'm still all here, and still while there's life, there's hope.
