Famous Quotes & Sayings

Stephen Sondheim

Mark Snyder

To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides.

He played well against Motherwell and he can look after himself because he is a tough little cookie. I think people would agree he's done well so far.

Matt Parrish

Dave Tippett

He was one of the first guys in my office when the new rules came out in training camp. 'What can I do and what can't I do?' It seems like all the rules were going against guys like him.

Kind of how we've been for 37 games. Different guys lead us over different parts of the game, play unselfish. Thirty assists, eight turnovers, that's kind of where we've been when we win games.

I think it was important that we didn't get frustrated. We thought we had a decent first period and we had some chances. But I don't think we got to the net very well for the second shot. I thought in the second and third period we did a better job of getting to the net for the second and third shot.

I think it is too early to form a long-lasting opinion. It is good to get some feedback first.

Dan Haren

I take a lot of pride in (not walking hitters). Early in the year, it was really getting me in trouble. That's not really my game. My game is throwing a lot of strikes. I think that's why I give up a lot of homers. I'm always around the plate, and hitters know they will get something to hit. But as long as I keep them to solo (homers), I usually don't get hurt.

Jon Giordano

I thought we, all things considered, maintained our focus fairly well. Especially in that first game as we didn't get into any ruts.

Barbra Streisand

Just the sadness of, we're there, but don't want to have those people in harm's way, and yet we do have to support (the troops). It's kind of painful, and I had always imagined just seeing footage of the troops, it's like history repeating itself ? here we are again. That was the meaning to me.
