No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win.

A team that thinks it’s going to lose is going to lose.

Any good defensive team has a strong anchor, because he cleans up mistakes.

Whenever I get an audition to do something that is sci-fi-related, it makes me really happy because I realize that I can continue doing the work that I’m doing and continue meeting people all over the world. It does baffle my management team sometimes, though!

42% of our management team are women. So we’ve reset the goal to 50% by 2017. Because that’s when Westpac becomes 200 years old as an institution – the oldest bank, and indeed the oldest company in Australia. So that’s a lovely point to reflect on.

Bin Laden wasn’t all that central to the terrorist network any more, but taking him down created a kind of national catharsis. It’s been a really, really long time since we had something to celebrate that didn’t involve a sports team. I’d rather it had been a non-death-related occasion, but we’ll take what we can get.

We’re a team like tea and milk, or cake and custard, or pork and apple.

Being seen as the best striker in Europe doesn’t spur me on-it’s helping my team to success. That’s my only aim. I’m not a machine.

Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength and he is a genuine competitor.

For years Paul Scholes has been one of the best players in the Premiership. He’s incredible. He has always been under-rated throughout his career. He’s a team player, a one and two-touch footballer who makes good decisions on the pitch and makes his team play

If I had a Paul Scholes in my team, everything would be around him. At Manchester United, they saw it like that, but I think Paul Scholes is one of the best I’ve played against in this league, and seen anywhere

It’s not about me, it’s about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals

I remember people saying that Atletico wanted me, that they are a big team, and that it will be a big challenge for me. I don’t know why, but I just felt really prepared for it, really confident. I went there and tried to do my best in training as well as learn the language really quickly. That was important, I think

When you get injured for a long time, it’s not nice because you are out of the team and not involved anymore

If you play for a team like Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or PSG, the aim is always to win the Champions League.

If you excel, there will always be teams interested in signing the biggest players.

Some players are more concentrated on what they will do after their football career and want to make sure their lives are financially settled. I prefer to play in big teams earn a little less money and win trophies

PSG is the team I’ve always supported, since I was little.

Everybody’s talking a lot in my ear, so it’s tough sometimes. I try to stay with my team in my bubble.

When you play against important teams, you obviously feel more motivated.

If you are captain of a great team like Paris St-Germain there are lots of players like Zlatan, players who are known by everybody. So to be captain of that team gives you respect and, in football, respect is very important.

I’m very happy to work for this club, this team, and these people here at Bayern

Being with the first team is a reward for me. I’ll take the opportunity with everything I have

I don’t regret the move to Bayern. It’s a very good moment for me, also because my team-mates trust in me.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, City – there are many teams you’d want to play against.

I’m in my own fantasy team as well, so there’s quite a bit of pressure on it.

I think to progress in major tournaments and to be at your best, you need a big squad, and you need to rotate it.

It is a great boost for confidence in a squad when there is not just one or two players scoring goals, but the whole team is contributing.

All goalscorers go on droughts. It is how you cope with that. And it is not just about scoring, it is about what you bring to the team, bringing others into play and getting assists.

When teams are dropping off, it’s difficult, especially as a striker. You always have two center-halves behind you and maybe a sitting midfielder as well. It’s a bit more difficult creating chances.

I’d love to be captain of Tottenham and hopefully England as well.

All I can do is my best for the team, whether that’s from the bench or if I start.

I want to go and get more goals, create my chances for the team, and do my best for Tottenham Hotspur.

I’m in my own fantasy team as well, so there’s quite a bit of pressure on it.

I’m in the team to score goals. I try and score as many as I can in the season to help the team out.

I know it’s hard to follow the example of another team in the same country, but that’s what you have to do sometimes.

It’s incredible to win an individual award in a team sport and also one where everybody wants to be able to say, ‘I’m the best.

In baseball, every player has a role to play, and every role is vital to the team’s success

The joy of baseball is in the camaraderie of teammates and the friendship of rivals

Surrounding yourself with a team you trust and who believe in you is key. My coaches believed in me and supported me every step of the way.

I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.

When you sit out, then you realize that, when you get the opportunity, how important it is to use that opportunity, not only as a player individually but also for the team.

It’s a team game, and you need to be flexible.

I just enjoy batting, scoring runs, and contributing for my team.

Baseball is a sport that celebrates individual excellence within a team framework

After junior cricket, if the team wanted me to keep in a one-off/odd match or if anyone got injured, I was up for it. I kept in One-dayers and T20s.

As a team, you try to win – you try to push in as many overs you can – but that’s how it’s played.

I take pride in representing my country and will always give my all for the team.

Playing as a team is more important than playing as individuals. That’s what makes a team successful.

I have always maintained that I play for the team and not just for myself.

I really don’t care about stats. I don’t care about any of that stuff. I just care about performing each and every weekend and helping my team win ball games.

We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.

I’ve always given everything for every team I’ve played for so that the ordinary fans, the people in the stadium, could identify with me. I owe a lot to the fans of Roma, Fiorentina and Argentina. They were the reason I played, my inspiration. I always worked hard to improve my game, to prove to myself that I could be one of the best for as long as possible. To be honest, I couldn’t care less what the others think.

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer

In every organization, environment affects performance, and baseball clubhouses are no different, that’s why in addition to assisting the rest of the coaching staff on the field, Mark and Alyssa Nakken will focus on fostering a clubhouse culture that promotes high performance through, among other attributes, a deep sense of collaboration and team.

We’ve still got a grind and battle ahead of us. I think we’re going up against a great team and we’re going to have our hands full. I think the rivalry is there regardless of which team is in front.

This team has done something the past two days that should go down in history as an incredible accomplishment. And what David Ortiz has done is miraculous. He’s carried us on his shoulders.

I wake up at about 9 a.m., and have a few hours of school or time to relax. Then, I have practice at 2:30 p.m. with my team.

We’re showing a lot of the good signs you need for a good team, so I have high hopes.

You obviously never know when you have a lot of changes to a team, but the new guys have come in here and they look great. They work hard. But the league is so competitive now so it’s hard to predict.

It felt good to get a win again because the last loss really bothers me and I think it bothers the whole team. It feels good to be back on the right track.

I got here, my main goal was just to make the team. And after that it just raised the bar.

Marathon is no longer an individual event, it’s a team event.

It’s fun to work the robotic arm in part because it’s really a team effort.

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher

But the tricks I use are ones that will hopefully benefit the team.

What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.

When Ronaldo gave that little wink everyone interpreted it that he had got his team-mate sent off. You felt then that he would become a much criticised figure. But that’s not really what happened. So for him to overcome all of that and emerge as one of the players of the season is quite a remarkable achievement. He is a phenomenal talent. He has tremendous pace, he goes past players and he has added the ability to shoot. He can also pick out team-mates. There is not a lot he cannot do now. I believe his game has improved immeasurably over the past couple of seasons.

I’ve always had a sense of responsibility, whether I’ve been captain or not. But I must say that I’m both pleased and proud to be Portugal captain, despite how young I am, because I know what it means. My job is still the same though. I need to do what I do best out on the pitch, and that’s score goals and help my team win.

I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.

I don’t consider myself as the best player in the world. I’m not obsessed with individual titles. I’m much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.

Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful – it doesn’t matter who scores the goals as long as we’re winning.

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join Manchester United.

Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.

The way a top team develops means that once you have won the league title, the natural step is to try to win the Champions League.

All that matters is to help the team.

An army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of bullshit.

By the time I was 25 I felt the team was in decline and alcohol was taking over. For three years I was out every night and gambling became a drug, too.

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car

Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name.

Messi is the best player on the planet and he keeps on improving at Barça, now the best team in the world. What Messi does on and off the pitch is an inspiration for children who dream of becoming a footballer.

While I had done the movies through Revolution Studios, we own the sitcom. It was a situation where, once the team was assembled, I knew we could create something really, really good.

I’m very proud of my team, and the way they stood behind me – and I’m very happy to show my female fans in that audience, and even my gay fans in that audience.

What good is a team, when everyone depends on you?

I am not there to finish fourth at the end of the day. I am there to win as a racer, but on the radio, it sounds I am arrogant and not listening to the team, but it is not like that.

You have to be patient: trust the team, that they can deliver a good job.

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

My ultimate dream is just to become world champion, and not only once. So that’s my dream, and it doesn’t matter with which team it is.

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.

Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer

Teach me to feel another’s woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.

Being a good example teaches others to be good.

Equalising performance between teams runs completely counter to the idea of F1 and would be very unfair for us.

F1 is about the best drivers competing against each other for the best teams producing the best cars they can.

I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team – not just on me.

My one regret is that I didn’t win a trophy with Tottenham, despite us being a strong team who played good, attractive football.

I always look forward to playing for my national team, especially at a major tournament

I want to be able to help the coach and team as much as I can.

The Premier League is the best competition in the world, and it’s not easy to win a league with great teams like Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal as rivals.

For me, the team is always more important.

One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honor to be on the same pitch as me. I thought, My God, that is a great thing to say when your team has just lost.

I’m lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

Whether it’s a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game—I play the same. I’m always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.

The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible.

When we win, my family, team. and fans feel the joy as well. That’s why I say we win and lose together, and I definitely couldn’t do it without them.

Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.

Now each race is different every time because it’s a different journey to get to it – the difficulties you faced getting the car into that position. I manage myself. I chose my team myself. So there’s a huge satisfaction for me.

The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.

Barcelona is my life, they have brought me to where I am today, I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. My heart stays with Barcelona.

Without the help of my teammates I would be nothing. I wouldn’t win titles, honors, nothing.

I go out and do the best I can in each game, and I don’t think about the fouls other players will commit or whether I might be injured. It only harms you to worry about those things.

There is no ‘I’ in team, but there is in win.

I never had any problems with my height. I was always the smallest kid at school and in my teams
