Sticking to a routine helps you get in the zone for the match. I always put my left shinpad on before my right. When I go out onto the pitch, I take three hops on my left leg - but I don't know why I started. I must have seen Messi do it or something.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

For me, the strike zone has always been, If it's something I can drive, it's most likely a strike. I feel like if it's a ball I really can't do much with, it's most likely a ball. So that's just always been my approach.

Aaron Judge

If they are going to nibble and try to go below the zone or off the plate a little bit, I want to try and get a pitch in the zone that I can do damage on.

The longer I spent time on 'The Daily Show,' standing in front of a green screen pretending to report from war zones and hot spots around the world - most often from somewhere in the Middle East - the more I began to realize that 'The Daily Show' was radicalizing me.

Aasif Mandvi

I think whenever you transform from normal light-hearted characters, to characters which might be out of your comfort zone or less relatable, that is double the work and commitment required to understand the society that character comes from.

I started training when I was a senior in high school. I trained at the Combat Zone Wrestling Academy in South Philadelphia.

Adam Cole

To be a white kid into hip-hop meant you'd sought it out and you practiced the art. Which meant dedication and diligence, as well as removing yourself at least occasionally from your own comfort zone and circumstances, and from people who looked like you.

Adam Mansbach

We're gonna do a Bowling for Dollars-type thing, but it'll be Breakdancing on Cardboard for Yen for the ozone layer, so it'll be called Breaking in Space.

Adam Yauch

The way I see it is that love can put an end to this bureaucracy people go through in their relationships. But it can't blind you to the fact that maybe there are bombs, there are problems and the ozone layer is depleting.

Adrienne Shelly

Sometimes comfort zones are the best. Sometimes discomfort is just what the doctor ordered.

Aesop Rock

Gigabit Opportunity Zones would enable Americans to become participants in, rather than spectators of, the digital economy. They would be a powerful solution to the digital divide. I hope our elected officials will give the idea serious consideration.

Ajit Pai

In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.

Al Roker

There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.

Alain Robert

At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999, it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn't. Instead, northern Europe fell into subsidizing southern Europe's excess consumption, that is, its current account deficits.

Alan Greenspan

Life feels more vivid in a conflict zone. It is clear what matters, and who you can count on, for what.

Alan Huffman

One of the implications of the discovery of the Kuiper Belt and its many small planets is that many scientists now think of the solar system as having not two but three zones.

Alan Stern

The Kuiper belt region, which I call the third zone because it lies beyond the rocky terrestrial planets and beyond the giant planets, is a bizarre frontier.

Alan Stern

If you put Earth out beyond Neptune, you wouldn't be able to call it a planet because it couldn't clear its zone.

Alan Stern

I like the possibility of failure. I don't want to be in a comfortable zone.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Even a war zone looks peaceful in most places, most of the time.

Alex Berenson

Sometimes we're going to take marginal pitches on the edges and get called out on strike, but we want to get a pitch that we can drive and a pitch we can do damage on. I think when you do that, you don't necessarily chase as much out of the zone.
