I want to be remembered as one of the best entertainers that had come along. That is what I’d like fans to talk about when they mention Ricky Steamboat.
I absolutely love my cricket. I would watch it six, seven hours a day when Australia were playing. I grew up in a very spoilt era of Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Ricky Ponting and others.
I’ll watch Ricky Gervais in anything he does. The guy’s hilarious.
Getting into character to become ‘Pretty’ Ricky Conlan for the ‘Creed’ film was surreal.
Ricky Nelson… I couldn’t believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.
We think, ‘I’m Ricky Hatton or I’m Tyson Fury, I can take on the world.’ You can take on the world in the ring but this problem called depression, you can’t take it on.
My first goal was to become world champion and I did that against Ricky Burns at 135. Once I conquered that, I set myself another goal and another goal.
Life is short. Ricky and I realize how lucky we were. We want to be together all the time.
Working with Ricky Gervais one week, Rutger Hauer another week, John Stamos, was fantastic.
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to think: ‘Blimey, Ricky, get a grip.’
He’s got the look. He’s got the ability to speak. He’s got the ability to step in the ring and back it up with his wrestling skill. It’s an amazing, unique combination that Ricky Starks has.
Ricky Gervais captured the staggering laziness that comes with a boring job.
I do best when guys come at me. Stylistically, the Ricky Hatton fight is the best fight for me.
Ricky Martin is one of the artists I wanted to be growing up.
I don’t count that relationship with Ricky. It’s just like a blip at this point. I had to fall in love with the devil himself to get this sweet angel, Jack.
I try to keep my heart and myself available for those little, ‘God moments,’ are what I call them, where someone calls the office and says, ‘Would Ricky be interested in doing this?’
I never show my books to Ricky. His writing is very different, and anyway, he’s only read one novel in his life: ‘The Catcher in the Rye.’
A lot of great bluegrass comes out of Kentucky. There’s a lot of great music, like the Judds, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, and Keith Whitley. There’s a lot of bluegrass intertwined with country music.
