Career Quotations | Page 6

I can't really be any happier with the way things are going. I've played four NHL games in my career and I'm getting ice time. That's the most reward a player can get from a coach. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing.

I can't put an end to my career without avenging this disappointment. I got an opportunity to come to this big event in the eleventh hour but I didn't have time to get myself fully prepared for the competition here.

I can't possibly set a date as to when I will play again but I want to try to get my career back as quickly as I can. I couldn't play to my full potential in Pakistan and I certainly couldn't allow that to happen on this trip.

I can't make up for the 10 years I missed, but I'm trying not to miss any more. I was the best bowler in the world for eight years and had as good a career as anyone who ever played the game. I've been a very fortunate person.

I fought as an infantry Marine on one of the Vietnam War's harshest battlefields. After leaving the Marine Corps, I studied law and found a fulfilling career as an author and journalist. But again and again, I came back to the personal fulfillment that can only come from public service.

If I was going to get it, I was going get it. If not, I wasn't going to jeopardize the game to do it. I don't think people are going to remember me as the leading scorer at my school, I don't think that's going to define my career really. Being a team player ... that means a lot to me.

I found that I always loved cooking, and that's an important part of nutrition ? being able to cook and prepare your foods at home. I had seen the cooking school done, and I thought it would be a very interesting and fun career to move into.

Getting the saves I've gotten against them doesn't mean anything special to me. I am just trying to do my job, no matter who it is against. I have nothing against the Indians. I have a beautiful career now. To get 41 saves has been special to me.

Frazier was never the same after his first fight with Ali. He fought the best fight of his career in that fight.

From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

I don't think I could've scripted it any better for myself, but I've put a lot of work into shooting. I've kind of built my entire basketball career throughout my life on shooting, and the rest of it's just kind of fallen into place.

I don't think I could have ever had a career as a pianist because I never ever wanted to play the notes the way they were written, I was too sloppy to learn them quite right.

If anything happens to anybody here volunteer or career Darrell is on the phone with them. He's a really good listener and easy to talk to, like another family member coming to see you.

I don't think you'd find a better person to be around kids. He's a career Hall of Fame coach and just a great guy, a solid fundamentals coach with great principles.

I don't think you could ask for a better young manager for a young team. And I think there's an instant respect there as well. The career he's had on the field and winning championships, he's a person if you're around him for about five minutes you know he's going to be successful in whatever he does.

I don't speak English, so I cannot foresee a career in Hollywood. But I do see myself more and more as an actress rather than a dancer.

He's had a great career there. He's earned the right to make a decision of whether to stay or leave. I'm not privy to what his thought process is. He's a great player and if he chooses not to go back, then we certainly would have some interest.

At 1 o'clock I walked out on the stage and there are these three girls, they're made up ready to be tested and I walked in and said, 'I'm the director.' And some guy in the back yelled, 'Well, go ahead and direct Charlie.' So that was it. That was the moment of truth.

I always had a real love of children's presenting, and I was lucky enough to do that and have an acting career alongside it.

I always tell my people in the gym I'm getting old. The legs are the oldest thing on me. Once your knees go it's a struggle. I'm not able to move as much anymore. My whole game plan, my whole boxing career has been around moving and getting out of the way. I was not a person who catches a lot of punches. I slip more punches than getting hit. I had to get away from that and sit down.

He works himself into states of crisis and distress, worrying that people are going to know he is a fraud and that his career is over.

He will hopefully be a Titan for a number of years and finish his career here.

He had a very nice offensive game and whatever he scored was a career high. And it was coupled with a nice defensive game as well. His effort at both ends was big.

He has built a career on frightening people and on crisis,

Had my dad not been short and fat and balding, there's no doubt his career would have been very different. But he could do lots of stuff and made a very good career out of it. He had an incredible work ethic because he lost his father when he was very young, and the family had to pull together.

He helped so many students get their first jobs. Any time you walked into the office, you saw Al - giving career advice, helping with a paper or just listening. He was a great listener, but when he smiled and said, 'Let me tell you a story,' you knew you were about to hear a gem.

He is a strong fighter. A great fighter, his record speaks for itself. I mean everybody who gets in there (with Vitali) basically gets knocked out, probably the toughest fight I have ever had. I think we devised a game plan to be mentally and physically ready to show you all something that you have never seen before. So if you miss this one, you will certainly miss the best fight of my career and I have had some good fights.

He has scored goals all of his life and in his career at the top level, and we expect him to do exactly the same.

He is a good player. We've seen him grow, we knew of his career and we're sure of his ability. We had to give him the opportunity to play in our team.

He'll be able to help us in our cause.

He is a consensus builder who spent a long career with the Bureau of Reclamation and then agreed to join my team to lead the bureau as commissioner. He will be missed.

He had a couple (of) injuries early in his career that kept him from growing at a normal pace. But soon as he stayed healthy, which he has, he just really became a fine defensive lineman.

He (Gould) didn't like being looked at that made an ongoing concert career impossible. He didn't enjoy the public spectacle, and he acted on his feelings. Even though I may get nervous, I like performing in public. I like playing concerts.

He feels he has lost his career as a field tech, ... The charges are still pending. He cannot travel internationally. He feels he lost his whole career because he was falsely accused as a spy.

He (Dobson) has had a great career on this floor and it was nice to see him end it with a performance like this tonight.

We are extremely proud of the fact that Al spent so much of his remarkable career as a member of the Blues, and that he is retiring here in St. Louis, ...

We look forward to honoring him this season during a special night and allowing all of our fans to applaud him on the ice once again.

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 obviously is a highly credible public face that brings very high degree of respect to any debate that he involves himself with. We take very seriously his advice and his counsel.

Have I done more business-related things to help my career grow? Yeah. I took the business end more seriously, hooked up with a manager, got some help, because at a certain point, you get frustrated when you go do auditions, and people say you did a great job, and then you don't get he part.

Having to pitch your whole career in New York and be successful, that has to amount to something, ... I can't go back and play, but to go back in a capacity as a pitching coach and become part of the organization again, it's a great honor and a great challenge. I think it's going to be fun.

Having a solo career is a funny thing.

He's a first-round draft pick and we wanted to him to be here and finish his career here, if possible. That is something we think is very important if you can get your first-round picks or very good players who make a difference, to stick around.

For me, personally, it just made my career more meaningful, ... It never gets old. Any time, anywhere, I love talking about it.

For me Oklahoma State was very important part of my career and it helped cultivate me into an athlete and the person I became. It was big difference in me being able to do the things I did, to see all the support I received played a major role in helping me achieve my goals.

He's a senior and he needs to have a career best year. That starts with spring practice.

He's a self-motivated kid. He's got three years under his belt. He's got a whole high school career already and he's just a freshman.

He's definitely got the potential. It's early in his career to make a prediction, but he has the physical ability and a good arm, and he's a smart kid.

He's definitely an option. This is the best he's pitched in his career with us.

He scored two vital goals for us but was unlucky that we had to play him out of position and he should be able to further his career elsewhere.

He's got such great bounce and elevation, he shot it on some 6-5 guys and you'd think he was the biggest guy out there. He transitions from dribble into jump shot really well, I mean really well. That kid's going to have a fine career in front of him.

His solo career kept us together. When we toured, we'd reach more people, and with his success, it was now our success,

His position is very difficult to break into, whether you're 23 or 27 ? and he's 20. As a coach, you hope that you haven't given him too much sometimes, but he's responded to his tough nights. The next night he's always better. He's a very focused young man, and if he remains that way, he'll have a nice career ahead of him.

His outstanding college career and a recommendation from our scouting department. I'm looking forward to having Todd in our camp next season.

Historically, very few children have thought of entrepreneurship as a career choice. We are hoping this game will move the thought of owning their own business to the same cognitive level as other more popular career choices, ... Our children are our future, and since more than 50 percent of new jobs come from small business, it is imperative that we encourage today's children to be the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

His surf career is kinda over, so he's at a crossroads when a friend comes to him and says here's an opportunity to work with these girls. ... He has to make sure they train, don't stay out late, and show up to events on time. I'm grooming them for a pro career.

His work ethic is outstanding; he's the guy that's first on the ice and last off. He's committed to being a goalie and moving on, and he certainly has an excellent opportunity. I honestly believe he has a huge career in front of him. Colorado sees great things in Tyler. They feel he's a prospect, and he's been nothing but great for us.

His whole career is he'll walk some guys, but he makes the big pitch to get out of the inning.

He's gone through a lot over his career and let's hope this final test that's been carried out is the end of it.

He's at a point in his career where he has a lot to prove, ... Just like our team.
