Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bill Burr

I heard a quote once in a documentary about a band that said you're better off owning everything 100 percent and selling 20,000 copies of an album than signing with a record company and selling a million copies. There has never been a truer statement about show business than that.

Brandi Chastain

I create tension on the elastic band by moving away from the person who's holding it, and I maintain that tension while jumping up to head the ball.

Shaquille O'Neal

I got into foul trouble early and never got into the flow of the game. The foul trouble is very frustrating, and I knew when I saw (referee) Bob Delaney I was going to be in trouble anyway. We did still have chances to win the game; we just made mistakes you can't make in this building.
