Famous Quotes & Sayings

Stuart Murdoch

He delivered, but at first I had my doubts. He was quite brutal about taking a machete to songs if he thought they had too many verses; one song he completely halved. And he didn't like my acoustic guitar playing. Did you notice that, Chris? He would accidentally lean on the mute button. But I'm surprised and delighted with the way the record has turned out.

Keith Richard

He's always been a good, smooth acoustic player, but the electric seemed like an untamed beast for him until this year.

Jeff Ament

I think at that point we were aspiring to be a Led Zeppelin kind of a band where you could pick up your acoustic instruments or you could go out and rock or you could play a country song. I love all those bands we got mentioned with, but it never felt like we fit into that group very well. So the fact that they're still saying, 'The band that survived grunge' is kind of funny.

James Mercer

I most enjoy sitting down with the acoustic guitar and just fiddling around and trying to come up with something like a hook or some sort of melodic line. That's something that I do habitually.

Jack O'Shea

I'm flattered with the response. It is a testament to our musicianship and the emotions behind that tour. We're not usually an acoustic band and this CD caters to a crowd that might not normally give us a chance.

Neal Schon

Beyond the Thunder is the closest I've recorded to an acoustic thing.

John Oates

The idea was to take these great songs, take them out of their production style and their dated recording style, and show them for the songs that they are--as if you had just played them on an acoustic guitar. It's all about timeless songwriting, really.

Jerry Leiber

The early influences, in many ways, were in Baltimore. I was passing open windows where there might be a radio playing something funky. In the summertime, sometimes there'd be a man sitting on a step, playing an acoustic guitar, playing some kind of folk blues. The seed had been planted.

Aimee Mann

The Forgotten Arm. I don't know if we'd do an acoustic thing or bring the band back or what we'd do -- or if it's just time to start writing songs.

Marnie Stern

I was listening to a lot of math rock-y type bands do lots of complex stuff and I couldn't figure out how they were doing it. Then I realized that sometimes they were finger tapping, so I started messing around doing it.

Randy Talley

I think it just shows the strength and depth of our music program. We've also had many bands that have performed, as well as orchestras. I think it's unusual a town the size of Odessa to have had so many groups invited to perform at this convention.

Terry Kratovil

Guys representing two bands came to his house one day. One came to the front door, another came to the back door. He went with the one that came to the front door.

Grant Hill

My teammates at Duke - all of them, black and white - were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball.

Taylor Hawkins

I always thought if I had a band it would have the energy and feel of early Police, since that's where my roots are, and then the harmonies of the Eagles, and the technique of King Crimson or something like that. Fast, up-tempo, beat-the-hell-out-of-the-drums, because that's my style. Energy, but sophistication, rhythmically and melodically.

Kelly Jones

I like to open for a band as it brings on sort of a challenge and it makes things more interesting. It reminds me of when we were just starting out because we would open for other bands in the beginning.

Gwen Stefani

Going on tour without them, I felt like I was cheating. We've been a band for 18 years. None of this was expected. Just like the pregnancy too. I'm sure everybody's wondering how this is all going to turn out.

John Entwistle

It is great to be back in a four piece band where there are a whole bunch of holes to fill and I do it. It is exactly what I want.

Alison Parker

Kids who commit serious crimes shouldn't go scot-free. But if they are too young to vote or buy cigarettes, they are too young to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

Ron Prince

I wouldn't read too much into who's doing what with what group. We're trying to get all the quarterbacks the opportunity to play with different combinations. It's only what's fair to them when you're going to be behind a group that hasn't been blocking together but for two weeks.

Robert Gamez

I would've made a double bogey but I double-chipped, ... The wind caught me on my downswing on the first shot and I went long. The guys behind me hit good shots and came up short. The wind switched that quickly.

John Jones

I would say that we won when we had to win and did what it took to win (in the first half of district). I wouldn't say our wins were pretty, but we have to put that behind us.

Rohan Verplank

Katie skied great and was only 0.6 and 0.3 seconds behind the winner.

Joe would fit in well down here. He can play on the left, on the right or behind the front two,

My CD collection has a lot of world music - lots of Indian, African, Portuguese, Greek, Italian music. Because of my husband, a lot of jazz, too.

Robert Crumb

I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.

Robert Winston

Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do.

Sandra Bernhard

I am always hoping to do another CD. This atmosphere has been difficult.

Zach Braff

Actually when I gave out the script, I gave it with a CD of all the music I wanted to put in the movie, and again, we never thought we'd get all that music.

Mark Russinovich

I know this is the last copy-protected CD I will buy,

Henry Rollins

Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.

Al Jarreau

More live recording. I have missed the boat over my career by not doing every second or third CD live because things happen onstage that don't happen in the studio.

Tommy Haas

James has been playing some great tennis the last two weeks and he'll probably be the crowd favorite since he lives 25 minutes from here, ... It should be a good atmosphere. It should be a very interesting match.

James Gomez

He definitely keeps the crowd involved in the game and I think that makes a difference on why people want to be out here.

Marat Safin

I think the crowd should get a video cassette of this match because it was a classic,

Glenn Wilson

I think the crowd really got into it when they saw Jeff take that hit. It really livened people up. Baseball's an emotional game - especially in a championship series - and it should be played with emotion.

Shaun Alexander

I think the crowd did a great job at the end.

Steve Mullin

We just have to go out, concentrate on ourselves and play off the emotion that crowd brings.

I think we're going to have a lot more crowds like this. We've got a great team, and we're going to be in it for a long time.

Ron Steele

I think that kind of got us jump-started a little bit. It got the crowd in the game and got us more focused and intense. I think that was a good move by Coach.

Mike Sherman

I don't know. We've practiced a lot of crowd noise since I've been here and it doesn't seem to be as big an (issue as it was),

Bill Self

I would say that if you could try to sum up those guys' four years, and the emotions they have, and multiply it by 15, that would give you an idea of what it will be like for Max. I would think he will be very emotional.

Roger Massey

He didn't show any emotion. He was not crying.

Mike White

He is usually reserved and doesn't show emotion. That just showed how much relief there was in him and our team.

Emily White

There are so many emotions. I've never been more happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy because we won and sad because it's our last high school game.

Angela Ruggiero

It hurts right now. It stings. I'm in shock. There's a lot of emotions going through my head.

Angela Ruggiero

It hurts right now; it stings. I'm in shock. There are a lot of emotions going through my head. But if you're talking long term, yeah, maybe the rest of the world will see there are other teams out there that can win and Sweden and Finland are those teams right now. Maybe that'll give hope to some other European teams to put more money into their programs and make this sport really global.

Daniel Gibson

We're playing with a lot of emotion. Everybody's feeding off each other right now. We feel like we're rolling.

Daniel Gorrell

It has been cleverly positioned to speak to those emotions particularly appreciated by younger buyers.

(Hasek) was the reason we won. It was really tough taking those penalties in the first seven minutes, but then we got one at the end and that might have taken the wind out of their sails.

have come to realize they might not go back to New Orleans.

Andy Reust

It could be a possibility he might run it. At this point, I don't know where I'm going to go with it.

We thought we might be able to wear him down.

Scott Skiles

Just to run down and double-team Shaq all over the place, it normally doesn't pay off.

He got back to playing the way he normally does.

I'm proud of myself because I didn't (overthrow), which normally 'stupid Ben' will do.

People who don't normally read make an exception for my books, possibly because they're short.
