I’ll carry a ball around with me all day and ask people to try to knock it out of my hand when I least expect it. I’ll give them some money and stuff, so people get pretty geeked up about that. It just helps me to take care of the ball without even thinking about it.
This idea of holding the Defense Department hostage to the tax debate makes me sick to my stomach. Knock it off.
I had to make 500 shots every day, and when my mom wasn’t looking, I’d get up closer to the basket and do lay-ups and count them, and she’d be at the back window at the kitchen and knock. Then I’d have to go back and shoot from longer.
I don’t know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don’t knock it. Villains are much more fun.

Draymond’s always talking trash, and he’s really good at getting you off your game. He’s one of the guys that he’ll talk trash, even when you’re playing golf. He will knock you off your game… But when you see his swing, you’re like, ‘How do you talk trash so well, and your swing’s this bad?’
I live to knock the ball into the back of the net.

I have so many wonderful people in my life. I’ve never had any major physical problems or an accident or anything like that. I’m a very, very lucky person, thus far, knock on wood.
Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They’ve gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it… Let’s be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it.
I’m like a little kid when it comes to music. I mean, the music is always blasting wherever I am that people always knock on my door and say, ‘It’s too loud!’ But I think music gives so much inspiration.
I think Americans raise eyebrows when you tell them that IRS agents are training with a type of weapon that has stand-off capability. It’s not like they’re carrying a sidearm, and they knock on someone’s door and say, ‘You’re evading your taxes.’

People ask me all the time, ‘Are you fed up with reality TV?’ At the end of the day, it can affect my career in the sense that the more reality shows there are, the less scripted dramas out there, but I can’t ever really knock them. I started on ‘Popstars,’ which was a reality talent show. I have respect for them.
I’d like to get more bit-acting roles. I don’t know if my talent would allow for a long dialogue, but I could definitely knock out three lines. I’d kill it.
I have my privileges, but I do feel like at every turn there is such resistance. Things seem to take so much longer for me to do. I have to say things 10 times instead of once. I have to knock on 10 different doors instead of two. For everything. All the time. I feel like I’m not taken seriously.
Not to knock TNA, but there’s too much hokey talking and segments that don’t really involve wrestling.
Before I drop in, I tend to knock on my snowboard. You know how when you jinx yourself, they’re like, ‘Knock on wood.’ My snowboard’s wood, so in case I jinxed myself sometime in the past, I just knock on my board. It just makes me feel a lot more comfortable.
The racism, the sexism, I never let it be my problem. It’s their problem. If I see a door comin’ my way, I’m knockin’ it down. And if I can’t knock down the door, I’m sliding through the window. I’ll never let it stop me from what I wanna do.
You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there’d be something funny about it to me.

The most important thing is to understand that this career is not about speed. It’s about stamina. This is a marathon. It’s not a 50-meter sprint.

The only person in the world who could knock me out is my anaesthetist.
Yes… I miss that everyone in Ireland tries to knock some humour out of every situation. I don’t think I appreciated that. It’s unique to Ireland.

My first boxing experience came at around 14. There was always confrontation in the area I grew up in. My mentality, I’ll be honest, was if someone tries it with me, I want to be able to knock them out.
