I originally envisioned myself doing something with the suffix ‘ology’ at the end of it, like marine biology or entomology. But after I started to do some acting gigs, I thought it wasn’t a bad thing… I said to myself, ‘I might as well keep riding this bus until the wheels fall off.’

I grew up riding when I was younger in Texas. I actually learned how to ride in Norway. I really love riding horses.

Westerns are fun. I wish more of them would be made. When you’re out there on a set, carrying a gun, riding a horse, you kind of get lost in that make believe world.

When I was really young, my babysitters had horses, and I started riding them.

The only person, if you’re a religious person, who’s always right is God. And if you make the mistake of thinking that you, like God, are always right, and that you, like God, always know everything, then it seems to me you’re riding for a fall.

It was just a fairly normal high school existence, riding our bikes around and hanging out in parks and down in the village.

I was riding pillion on my friend’s motorbike, and we met with an accident which badly injured my right leg. I was bedridden for three years and used crutches for one year before I fully recovered.

When you’re riding, only the race in which you’re riding is important.

When I am not shooting, all my waking hours are dedicated to horse riding and gymming.

If it was up to me I would wear riding clothes most of the day or jeans and a man’s shirt.

I started writing serious books so late because I knew I’d be accused of riding on my father’s coattails.

I was raised on a ranch in Wyoming, and I’ve been riding horses most of my life.

Riding clothes are ageless and timeless, and I love to incorporate that comfort and elegance in my life.

I may, however, begin riding again when I am 60.

It’s my goal to show the world that Americans know how to help Americans without expecting the government to come riding in on a white horse and save the day.

A lot’s riding on ‘Dune,’ and my friends in Seattle realize what’s happening if I freak out a bit. They accept whatever I happen to be, and they tell me when I’m slipping out of Kyle. They call me the ‘God Emperor of the Universe.’

I drank because I enjoyed it. I was happy sitting at the end of the bar on my own, reading the paper. I’ve always enjoyed my own company, and that stems from riding alone. I never trained with anyone – and I still don’t. I’ve always been happy with my own thoughts, and that sums me up as an individual-pursuit rider.

I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing.

I was an old tackle riding around talking to people about sports. Like I’ve said to a lot of people over the years, ‘I only go where old tackles go, and if an old tackle does not belong there, I’m not going.’

I miss riding those fast trains in Japan… ’cause I’d never seen a train that fast in my life.

What most people don’t realize is that in snowboarding, there are two different aspects: the filming side and the competition side. The filming side is when snowboarders spend the entire winter season trying to document the best, most progressive and innovative riding of the year.

Riding a camel was a challenge.

My heart’s in stage. Making ‘Quadrophenia’ was exciting because we were riding around on scooters with no crash helmets. But ‘hurry up and wait’ is the anthem of films. Everybody wants you ready, and then you sit doing nothing.

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I’m riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I’m happy.

I think the goal is always to be both. I put more effort into the technical side of my riding, but style is very important nowadays.

Little Red Riding Hood was my first love. I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.

We had this incredible pass over the Himalayas, and to just see all of that pollution that’s riding up against those mountains from the south is just really heartbreaking.

High heels weren’t always a girl thing. In the fifteen-hundreds, the riding shoes of French noblemen were fitted with raised heels so that their feet stayed put in the stirrups. Over the next few decades, heels inched higher on dress shoes, particularly among men of privilege.

I grew up in the countryside riding horses, and I also ride every holiday in Spain, which is where I was born. It’s a big part of my life.

It’s just the most amazing feeling to be out there in the water riding waves. It’s like walking on the water.

For over a decade, the top 1% of income earners have seen their pay skyrocket, riding a wave of lobbyist-sponsored financial de-regulation. For the remaining 99%, wages have stagnated, and employment has fallen off a cliff.

I have been agreeably disappointed in my idea of the camels. They are far from unpleasant to ride; in fact, it is much less fatiguing than riding on horseback, and even with the little practice I have yet had, I find it shakes me less.

Ever since I knew Dad did pentathlon, I wanted to do it as well. I have seen all his old photos, and he still has his Olympic riding jacket, and that makes this even more special.

I do a variety of activities like Pilates, bike riding, physical therapy, and running. I also train on the ice five to six days a week. On the ice, I work on my programs as a whole and the individual technical elements that comprise the programs.

I made a series for ITV, just after I retired from Tests in 2009, called ‘Flintoff Versus the World.’ The idea was that I would attempt a series of extreme sports – rodeo riding, jumping out of aeroplanes, paragliding, cliff diving. I thought, ‘Yeah, it looks fun. It’s six weeks having a laugh.’

Both my daughters are both so unimpressed when they see me on television. I want them to say, ‘Oh, Dad!’ But I say, ‘Who’s that?’ and they say ‘Dad’ with no real interest, even if I’m wearing a long wig and riding on a horse! I think I’ll have to read a ‘CBeebies’ bedtime story instead.

I’m trying to let winning the world championships settle in right now before I begin training again shortly. During the skating season, we skate on average 20 kilometres a day. On top of that, we’re riding a lot and lifting a lot of weights.

I have a secret passion for horse riding. I haven’t done it for ages, but I used to have a horse. I love it; it’s one of my favourite things.

In Nazare, the ocean is known as a place of death, not of riding waves.

My mom grew up with horses, and when I turned 14, 15, she’s like, ‘Do you want to take a riding lesson?’ I thought, ‘Oh, gross, dirty.’ She was like, ‘Okay.’ And then I did, and now I’m the one cleaning those damn stalls out. You can’t get me away from the barn now. It shocks even me.

If I’m out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I’ve got a favorite. If I’m jumping, I have a favorite, and if I’m racing, I have a favorite.

I will go back to riding one day – when I have kids. I have such amazing childhood memories of being on horseback.

In popular culture, there isn’t any other conception of Islam and Muslims other than what you see on the news… When you go to a theme park, you see Muslims riding roller coasters and eating ice cream. Why doesn’t anybody think of those Muslims when they think of Muslims?

One of my favorite activities when I was a teenager was going riding on the back of a horse with a friend of mine. Because we were rather high up, I could see into peoples’ lighted windows as we trotted past. Questions would rise up inside: Who lives there? Are they happy? What are they doing? Any dogs or cats in sight?

Riding a camel was a challenge.

My favorite weekend activity is riding bikes to breakfast.

My father had owned a ranch when he was younger, in Montana, and he remembered riding his horse across the prairie and seeing some large bones sticking out of the ground. He was enough of a geologist, being a sand and gravel man, to have a pretty good notion that they were dinosaur bones.

The only thing my famous last name got me was a foothold in the industry. That was the easy part. The biggest problem is survival. As Fazil’s son, I am expected to know everything – acting, dancing, horse riding… I am not trained in all these, and I don’t think I ever will be.

There’s not millions of dollars riding behind something – so I think a lot of people took chances on me and cast me in roles in Chicago that I never would have gotten cast in possibly if I had come to New York right away. I got to be the not-your-typical-choice for a role.

Bike riding requires permanent sacrifice. It means training 11 months out of 12 and 110 days of racing, whatever the weather conditions. Early in life, I realised I did not have intellectual potential, so I dedicated myself to cycling.

I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.

I have two brothers and we basically spent our lives playing in the woods, falling in ponds, getting chased by wasps and riding donkeys that we shouldn’t have been riding.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

I love mo’bikes and riding them is my passion.

Animal rights can be as extreme as not riding a horse, or not wearing leather, not having a pet at all. Animal welfare advocates are preventing the suffering of animals. And then there’s conservation and species conservation and what conservation biologists do.

At the end of the day, I’m riding a little kid’s bike around a track; that’s what I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Now it’s just on a bigger stage at the Olympics.

Nobody was willing to lend their bike or teach me to ride. Bike riding is very addictive and nobody wants to part with their bike for someone else.

When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.

No, riding in the Peloton is more frightening than riding in the park.

Everyone talks about Utah riding, slickrock and all that. I go through the mountain-bike magazines at the shop, and I think, ‘That’d be awesome.’

I love riding, even if it’s just my Vespa. You just zip and do your thing. I find there’s a different awareness when I ride; it connects me to my senses and to God.

My devotion stemmed from my mom’s love of horses. I have been riding since I could walk, and the fact that my mom knew everything about horses really helped my passion grow.

Everything is so fresh in WWE, it’s hard to take it all in sometimes. I get moments when I’m riding the road late at night, and I get to reflect on my thoughts a little bit.

When I’m snowboarding, I just feel stronger and more flexible and more able to trust my instincts – because there are times when you really do have to be mindful with the jumps you’re hitting and the conditions that you’re riding in.

My role in ‘Kashmora’ required me to take horse riding lessons.

‘Red Dawn’ was really the most fun I ever had making a movie, because I love Westerns, and I love the idea of being a tomboy, and riding horses and shooting guns.

As I get older, it’s getting more frustrating because I’m starting to think about what I’m going to do after cycling, and I may be pushed to study alongside riding in order to prepare for retirement – all those things the professional blokes don’t really have to think about.

When you ride electric bikes, you know the terrain that you’re riding on becomes a factor and headwinds become a factor. Then there is tailwinds, which is behind you… it makes such a difference going downhill and stuff like that.

Growing up, I absolutely loved skateboarding and dirt bike riding with my brother and the neighborhood kids.

I do try to reduce my carbon footprint a little bit by travelling around London on my electric bike. A lot of people raise their eyebrows but I love riding it.

I know from sitting around with injuries how difficult life will be without racing and riding winners.

We welcome and encourage motorcycle riders from all over the country to come visit and stay in West Virginia while riding on our scenic roads.

Every publisher or agent I’ve ever met told me the same thing – that Irish readers don’t want to read about the bad old days of the Troubles; neither do the English and Americans – they only want to read about the Ireland of The Quiet Man, when red-haired widows are riding bicycles and everyone else is on a horse.

My motivation is paying the mortgage. No joke. Honestly. I still suffer with nerves and think, ‘Why am I putting myself through this torture?’ It’s not actually the love of winning – it’s that building of a partnership with a horse. Just riding horses every day keeps me going. And that threat of losing the mortgage.

I’m riding my man Obama. I think he’s a visionary. Actually, Barack told me the first date he took Michelle to was ‘Do the Right Thing.’ I said, Thank God I made it. Otherwise you would have taken her to ‘Soul Man.’ Michelle would have been like ‘What’s wrong with this brother?’

My work is my passion so it’s impossible to imagine doing all the things I love if I couldn’t see – riding my bike, reading an autocue or preparing dishes.

Yeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.

I was always interested in skateboarding, BMX bike riding, flipping, gymnastics. Anything with tumbling, turning, twisting, and extreme sports.

I don’t ever remember not riding.

You see, I had been riding with the storm clouds, and had come to earth as rain, and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me.

My parents had us very young. We lived in a modest house. We built forts, we hiked, we went camping and they wanted us to be independent. It’s how children grew up in the 1940s and 50s: outside all the time, playing in the dirt, riding your bike around.

I’ve got 12 reserves in my riding and have always been very available and worked very diligently on a few files. I’ve been out any time there is major events. So I’ve always had an open door policy with the chiefs and individuals on- and off-reserve.

I had 10 No. 1 country records before I ever crossed over, and the only reason I ever crossed over was because of a fad. It was that ‘Urban Cowboy’ thing, where everybody was riding fake bulls.

The king and the dauphin both like to see me on horseback. I only say this because all the world perceives it, and especially while we were absent from Versailles, they were delighted to see me in my riding habit.

I am just this small-town Canberra girl that’s taken riding a little kid’s bike on dirt tracks to the highest level.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.

We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.

If a horse has four legs, and I’m riding it, I think I can win.

I don’t know where horse riding could have taken me, and it’s something I can always go back to when I’ve retired from football, but the crossroads came in my life when Chelsea wanted to sign me and make me a professional footballer in 2013 when I was 20.

Riding Valegro always makes you smile, so I enjoy it.

When I was young, summers stretched so long, as if they’d never end. Days were like marathons of time, riding bikes until my blisters had blisters, endless energy, and not an actual care in the world aside from when ‘Paul’ could come out and play. Days now feel more like minutes, almost game show like.

As a family, we were always active. Lots of walking, lots of running as well as riding bikes with dad.

You don’t know how good you are until you actually get out on a bike and get riding.

My first riding partners were Mark Henry, The Great Khali and Daivari. It was the traveling circus.

I’ve been writing stories all my life. My very first story had two little black girls riding horses. They were both me, too, so that’s how into me I was.

I don’t think a woman riding a motorcycle thinks of herself as doing something that has sex appeal. I think she’s trying to replicate for herself an experience that she sees men having.

Now my son Travis wants to finish all of his schooling online and be a full-time actor. I said, ‘Hey, it’s not all riding bicycles and egging cars and houses. Why don’t you go finish the seventh grade, and we’ll talk about it later.’

When you’ve got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they’re going to wreck.

I started riding the whole ‘fluffy’ train, and it’s a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl ‘fat,’ yo, she’ll raise hell, but if you say, ‘Aw girl, look at you, you’re fluffy,’ there’s almost a sexy appeal to it.
