The feathers have been retired to the London Hard Rock Cafe. I don't obsess about it as much. Also, it's strange - the better physical shape I get in, the less I care about what suit I'm covering myself up in. I'm not really out to flaunt it, but I'm just more comfortable in my own skin.

Brandon Flowers

When I'm retired someday, when I'm done playing football, that's when I'll be relaxing and look back at some things.

Aaron Donald

My dad didn't want me to listen to Zeppelin, I think because it reminded him of his wilder days, and now he's a retired Southern Baptist minister.

Aaron Paul

I am heartened by the appointment of Dr. Birx as the Coronavirus response coordinator for the White House. Dr. Birx is a retired Army Colonel and immunologist who was appointed the U.S. Global HIV/AIDS coordinator under the Obama Administration.

Abigail Spanberger

Injuries weren't the reason why I retired. I retired on my own terms.

Adam Goodes

When I retired I was done and it was instant relief. Instant.

Adam Goodes

I could have stayed at Southampton until I retired and finished my career there.

Adam Lallana

A lot of my emotional issues come from dealing with the opposite sex. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be retired before I can finally enter into a healthy relationship.

Adam Levine

Playing for 14 years definitely took its toll mentally. I decided when I was playing my last season that when I retired from football I would never go back into it, and I've never regretted that decision.

Alan Hansen

I think if you retire from touring then people think you are retired.

Alan Jackson

The India series wasn't the only reason I retired. It was the culmination of 18 months where things had probably changed in my life.

Alastair Cook

From 1983 to 2000, William Goren stole more than $30 million from investors on Long Island and in Queens. His favorite targets were widows and retired couples, like Helga and Simon Novack, Holocaust survivors who gave Mr. Goren their life savings.

Alex Berenson

I live on the edge of Bath. It's really lovely, but its very loveliness freaks me out a bit. It's peaceful, a great antidote to the craziness of being on tour, but sometimes I feel as though I've retired.

Alison Goldfrapp

When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.

Allen West

My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They've always been really great; they just want me to be happy.

Amanda Hale

My sister and I used to act as maids and waitresses at my great aunt and uncle's cocktail parties, which were very much sort of retired, minor stars of the Yiddish theater and the Yiddish opera.

Amy Bloom

War coverage should be more than a parade of retired generals and retired government flacks posing as reporters.

Amy Goodman

I was with Shaq at his home the day he retired. It was innovative for him to become the media and announce via social media that he was retiring.

Amy Jo Martin

Maybe one day when I'm retired, I can turn around and tell you, 'Hey, I was really good at that. Maybe I was the best.'

Anderson Silva

Sounding bitter is not a good look. Less so if you're retired.

Andre Ward

I made a series for ITV, just after I retired from Tests in 2009, called 'Flintoff Versus the World.' The idea was that I would attempt a series of extreme sports - rodeo riding, jumping out of aeroplanes, paragliding, cliff diving. I thought, 'Yeah, it looks fun. It's six weeks having a laugh.'
