  • I try not to have actors in mind when I write because the tendency then is to be influenced by either their last performance or your favourite of their performances. -- Christopher Nolan

  • Any player coming to Spurs whether he's a big signing or just a ground staff boy must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must be prepared to work at his game. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing. -- Bill Nichols
