I have built a very good reputation in India and a lot of Indians respect me.

Speaking French is good for me and also a mark of respect for the PSG institution.

The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.

I had no real respect for good technique because I didn't know what it was. I was self-taught, so that stuff didn't matter to me.

I respect Mark Hughes and what he's done for me but I heard some things when he was talking about me and they were not good things.

The old-timers schooled me good. They brainwashed me to respect music, whether we were playing rockabilly or blues or rock and roll.

If you want to boo, I want you to boo me as loud as you can, because I think that's a sign of respect: You don't boo the bad players; you boo the really good ones.

I get asked a lot about my legacy. For me, it's being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players. That's important to me.

Guardiola disappointed me - he did not treat me with respect. He did not let me become the top scorer in the Bundesliga. For me things were twice as good when Jupp Heynckes was in charge.

For me, it's always about what's on the page. I have tremendous respect for writing. When you recognize good writing, and you're lucky enough to get it, like with 'Lost,' that's what I follow.

I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.

My mother imparted on me that I must be a good custodian of my father's name and that is what I ask of my children. One should conduct themselves in the correct manner, respect one's elders and do the right thing.

It's a matter of invitations versus context. Twitter is really good at providing context, like, I'm having coffee at Third Rail Coffee.' Foursquare is about invitations to places. In this respect Foursquare has started to replace Yelp for me.

Boxing's a bit like the Army, nine out of 10 people come out as pretty nice people. It taught me self-worth, to respect my elders and what the right thing was to do. As a result, I don't think I even got a single detention at school. It helped me to be good.

A lot of people have asked me what's it like being an American player in Europe. 'Do you have to earn more respect because you're American?' But I don't think it's like that at all. I think if you're good, you're good. They don't care where you're from or anything like that.

Out of sheer respect for the people I look up to in the industry, I do say 'yes' to projects at times. It helps me learn a lot. Also, if I am playing a small role in a good, content-driven film, I say yes to it. But there have been times when I said 'no' to films because I was not convinced with the content.
