Many think that elite athletes like me are taken care of. But that is not true, only a few like Sindhu are looked after well.
Physically, when you are fit, mentally you are more alert and confident.
In fact, I am a bit apprehensive about biopics on sporting personalities in our country after seeing a few films. But my biopic is not going to be the same; it's completely different.
If I lose a match, I don't get sad or feel down. But if I lose a close match, I surely have sleepless nights.
If you keep winning all the time, you may not learn a lot, but failure has a lot to teach.
I stopped playing mixed doubles and there is no result in mixed doubles. I was world number six. People who are talking about me and my performance and questioning my career and my achievements, where is the next mixed doubles pair, please show it to me. I would like to know.
Being a player, I am supposed to train and practice and only think about my game, what I have to develop and what weaknesses I have to take care of.
In doubles there was nobody before me. I have changed how people look at doubles.
I have done nothing wrong as captain of the Delhi Krrish Smashers franchisee in the IBL.
I don't expect people to understand, but as players who love the sport and have constantly been thrown a rock at by our association and now the Govt, there is only so much one can take.
Consistency is most important in international level and once you have it, you become a different player.
Unlike badminton playing major nations of the world, we never had a specialist doubles coach and so the discipline remained neglected.
I don't court controversies, but when I state facts, which are hard to digest for male-dominated authorities, they call them squabble.
I have fought back. From not being allowed to play, I have now qualified for Olympics in two events, it is satisfying. I feel proud.
June Brown
I’m not bragging but I used to be rather beautiful, with lovely legs, and people would always ask me to dance. But suddenly people didn’t take any notice of me any more. I was at a party in my 50s and was forced to dance with a chair because nobody wanted to dance with me.
Jessica Long
I sit down in a chair, and I take off my two heavy little prosthetic legs and I crawl on my knees to the edge of the pool and I just jumped in, and I just instantly loved it.
Lenny Henry
Mum would hit us with anything. You’d see her looking for something to hit you with, and you’d think, please let it be something reasonably soft. She threw a chair at me once. It was like being in a western.
David Baddiel
I remember watching an episode of ‘Seinfeld’ in which George can’t understand why security guards can’t sit down. He gets obsessed with it and eventually buys a chair for a security guard who sits down and goes to sleep. The shop gets robbed. That’s a brilliant extrapolation of what is essentially observational comedy.
Vic Reeves
Within comedy, macabre is the root, and a lot of art – Goya, Bosch, Dali – is macabre. Even Van Gogh, if he paints a chair, there’s an element of the macabre within it.
Zoya Akhtar
I had a press conference and I fell down on stage! Because I was in a skirt, dude. And there was this genius on stage and someone told me please sit and I went to sit and he pulled the chair off from under me! I did my whole thing, after that, I was really upset.
Yves Behar
Having one foot in design and the other in sustainable and social projects, I hear this question quite often: ‘Why does the world need another chair?’ My answer is that the world needs another chair/bicycle/car or any new product for that matter, like the world needs another book.
Yves Behar
It’s not about putting a speaker in a chair or putting a TV in a bed. That’s not how technology and the home intersect. For me, it’s about sensors, about the home knowing where you are.
William J. Clinton
In 1979, just after I became governor, I asked Hillary to chair a rural health committee to help expand health care to isolated farm and mountain areas. They recommended to do that partly by deploying trained nurse practitioners in places with no doctors to provide primary care they were trained to provide.
Will Poulter
My teacher told my mum, ‘I think William has dyspraxia,’ and Mum asked what that meant. She said, ‘Well, if I put a chair in the middle of the room and asked every child in the class to walk around it, William would be the only child in the class to walk into it.’ Mum was like, ‘Yeah, that’s my boy’.
Whitney Wolfe Herd
Failure’s a marker of success in its own right because you went out and tried something… If you really don’t want to fail, go find a comfortable chair and stay there. Just don’t go out and do anything.
Wendy Williams
I’m where I’m supposed to be. In that purple chair, by myself, yip yapping. I am. I didn’t fall into it, you know. I wanted to be a newscaster or a radio broadcaster since I was six years old. When I went to college, I majored in communications. When I touched a microphone, I fell in love.
Wendell Pierce
In our house, my dad had a chair. It was a Barcalounger, big and comfortable. If we missed him or wanted comfort when he wasn’t home, we’d just climb into the chair and let it envelop us.
Walker Hayes
I play a little bit of everything. I beat on the walls. I whistle. I scream. I go outside and scream because it sounds cool when it’s recorded. I play drums on a chair. I snap, clap… just anything to build the track and make it feel like I want it to.
Walton Goggins
I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.
W. C. Fields
I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison.

In ‘Saami,’ I take a poor dhobi’s son for admission to a private school. The principal refuses for various reasons and finally he points to the boy’s bare body. Immediately, I tear the furnishings off the office chair to convert them into clothes for the boy.
Vidal Sassoon
I don’t sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.
Victoria Arlen
When my doctors said I would never walk, I didn’t believe them. I knew I wasn’t meant to spend my life in a chair.
Vicky Krieps
I often have the feeling that acting is really not difficult, because all I do is I just listen. I just listen. I just listen to what there is. And if there’s nothing, then I listen to nothing. If there’s a chair, and it’s empty, I listen to an empty chair, and I will respond to it.
