3 December 2020 George Foreman I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you’ve got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.

3 December 2020 John Mayer My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to say hello to you,’ and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, ‘Not for me, Bub. I don’t want anything to do with you.’
3 December 2020 W. Somerset Maugham Men have an extraordinarily erroneous opinion of their position in nature and the error is ineradicable.
3 December 2020 James D'arcy It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realised I’d become an actor.
3 December 2020 Shaquille O'Neal I’m an unorthodox type of guy, a funny guy – at least I think I’m funny. And one of the things I like to do is come up with nicknames for myself.
3 December 2020 Neil Simon Sports is the only entertainment where, no matter how many times you go back, you never know the ending.
3 December 2020 Mohamed Al-Fayed The most important thing is God’s blessing and if you believe in God and you believe in yourself, you have nothing to worry about.

3 December 2020 Stephen King When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‘Why god? Why me?’ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‘There’s just something about you that pisses me off.’
3 December 2020 Havelock Ellis ‘Charm’ – which means the power to effect work without employing brute force – is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman’s strength just as strength is a man’s charm.
3 December 2020 Cher I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia.
3 December 2020 Anatole France What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!
