Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ned Yost

Natalie Merchant

I just wanted to get all this stuff in one place, ... A lot of it was scattered around or out of print. There are songs here that I thought would never get heard, the ones with Billy Bragg, for instance. The lyrics are kind of embarrassing - we wrote them in the middle of the night during these song-writing marathons - but I feel they are still documents of my work and that this is the place to let people hear them.

Patrick Swayze

I'm sorry, but I thought I was the sickest most irreverent person in the whole world -- Billy Bob just won that contest. You put Patrick Swayze and Billy Bob Thornton together and something's gonna happen.

Duggar Baucom

It's disappointing that Billy doesn't want to do it. It would've been awesome.

H. Hunt

It (the AFL) was so important to me. I had a lot of money in it, a lot invested in it. Emotionally, I spent a lot of time, effort and energy on it. I felt an obligation. A guy like Billy Sullivan had everything he had in it. It wouldn't have been the right thing to do.

Keith Ginter

Rodney Carney

He coaches every single play, and you're going to have to do it, even if we're up 35 or 40. If you're out there playing around, and not really intense, he's going to sub you. You don't want to get subbed. You want to be out there and play.

Jim Larranaga

There are so many great coaches who never get to the major level. I hope that I do represent them here.

W. Hull

I think it's been a jolt of reality for coaches on what they have to do in practice to prepare for games. There's not a lot of sense practicing five-on-five stuff. You need to practice special teams a lot.

Pat Riley

I was concerned about where we'd be, as I'm sure most coaches are coming back (from the All-Star break). We have one game in 10 days, and this was it. We started to play very well at the end of the (first) quarter.

Pete Boone

I think all you can really do (attending games) is see how they conduct themselves, their mannerisms, how the players respond to them and how they talk to the other coaches on the bench. I don't know if any of those in particular are earth-shattering pieces of information, but it's another piece to the puzzle.

Ryan Taylor

I think being jacked up for games helps because you play harder when you are really into it, ... Sometimes I might go over the edge with it. Sometimes I might get an unsportsmanlike (conduct) or unnecessary roughness (penalty), but the coaches can deal with that as long as I am playing my hardest.

Bob Walker

I think Tim Cook would have enjoyed the meet. The coaches I talked to had a fun day and everybody seemed relaxed and enjoying themselves. Not having a scoring meet makes this a totally different atmosphere.

Brian Henderson

Richard K. Morgan

Evolutionary theory informs our understanding of some frankly inexcusable social behavior and renders it perfectly normal.

Television is really what we've been looking for all our lives.... [It's] perfect. You turn a few knobs and lean back and drain your mind of all thought. And there you are watching the bubbles in the primordial ooze.

William S. Burroughs

Too perfect to be sexually attractive.

William S. Burroughs

The idea was that we would decide the order when we looked at the proofs. I remember Brion Gysin saying "Well, why change it? It's perfect the way it is, the way it came from the printer." Made one major change, that is, the first chapter that came from the printers, which would be the beginning, we moved to the end. The first chapter became the last chapter. There's no actual cutups in Naked Lunch.

Umberto Eco

The west has decided to channel money and effort into studying other customs and practices, but no one has really given other people the chance to study western customs and practices, except at schools maintained by white expatriates, or by allowing the rich from other cultures to study in Oxford or Paris. What happens then is that they return home to organise fundamentalist movements, because they feel solidarity with those of their compatriots who lack the opportunity for such education.

Tyler Hilton

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.

Tyler Blackburn

High school is a really strange time - you're not a kid, you're not an adult. You're about to be an adult, you're going to have to make some really intense decisions. It's a really pivotal time to have as much self-confidence as you possibly can. Even if that means you have one friend who supports you completely.

In Texas, we do not hold high expectations for the [governor's] office; it's mostly been occupied by crooks, dorks and the comatose.

Krista Allen

I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall, so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1,000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2,500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.
