Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
Let's wait and watch.
