Milan Quotations

I'd never stop traveling, and I love bringing my family along with me. My children have points of reference everywhere, friends from Milan to Los Angeles. I think it's really fun for them.

I drive around on my scooter in Milan alone - we don't have bodyguards or anything like that. I am a fashion designer, not a celebrity, and although I get stopped for autographs and the like, I don't think I am famous.

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

On my birthday, I was in Milan for the collections.

You get funky things in Goa, so I like shopping there. Paris and Milan are also my preferred shopping destinations.

I was in Paris, Milan and London from '89 until '91, and I did mostly runway modeling. I know there's so many people out there looking for pictures, but this was way before the age of the Internet, sorry!

My favorite thing about Milan is that you see these guys, and it's as if a spaceship came out of the most attractive planet invented and just dropped them off all across the city.

I always wanted to play for AC Milan or Real Madrid. Real Madrid, of course, because when I was young, the players that played there were the top players. I was looking at Real Madrid as the best of the best. And AC Milan, they also had good players when I was young, so I looked at AC Milan the same way as Real Madrid.

My favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.

We're quite excited, because the audience went absolutely bananas. We did Paris (for the last DVD), and we thought we'd do Milan since we work there a lot, and it worked out really well.

When the history of 20th century fashion is written, he is going to be one of the stars. He almost single-handedly put Milan on the fashion map. He expressed a new kind of masculinity with less structured men's wear - historically, his men's wear is more significant than his women's wear.

Milan played well. They're a scrappy bunch. I was happy to get out of there with a win.

Milan is a very strong team which has been at the top for a long time.

Milan in the late 80's and the early 90's was where we came every season to see how we would be dressing.

Milan Hejduk must be wondering what else he needed to do to impress the selection committee for the 2003 All-Star Game. Would they have preferred if he tossed in a triple Lutz?

Milan have to be Milan and it will be a prestigious evening against Barcelona, between two great teams, I think it will be entertaining, not only for us but all fans over Europe and the world.

Milan has more experience than us and that's important. It's also true that they have won more titles and have had more success than we have but we are improving and we cannot stop now. We have a 50% chance to go through to the final.

Milan and Barcelona are two great teams, maybe the best in Europe at the moment. I expect two beautiful games, exciting and entertaining matches.

If they don't, we will officially ask action because we want justice ... and that the cup is awarded to AC Milan if certain facts are proven.

I didn't make any changes to the side ahead of the Milan game so that they could be in harmony with one another. We will play with belief. We will not allow the opponents time or space. We could spring a surprise there. We believe we can achieve something using our head and heart.

I'd like to thank Alex and Brian Lawton for notifying us of Alex's decision prior to the arbitration hearing tomorrow in Toronto. This was not unexpected and I respect Alex for making this family decision. This creates the opportunity for additional ice time for players like Marco Sturm, Niko Dimitrakos and Milan Michalek. If and when Alex decides to return to the National Hockey League, we look forward to him playing for the San Jose Sharks.

I have a lot of confidence in the team, maybe Milan are favorites -- they have a lot of good players -- but we have confidence and we can win.

Frankly, Milan kind of sucks as a restaurant city. It's so fashion-obsessed that people don't pay that much attention to the food.

He is a perfect match for Milan. He sees the opportunity in Milan that we see, and we need someone who will capitalize on the strengths we have at this time.

He had a good wee spell. We have to define that. You need to look at the games themselves. People go on about the AC Milan game. He has played in different positions, all over the place, a bit like Joe Cole. We've got to make him a player.

This was not unexpected, and I respect Alex for making this family decision. This creates the opportunity for additional ice time for players like Marco Sturm , Niko Dimitrakos and Milan Michalek .

Here it comes, right in time for the election, the vote of the Milan prosecutors' office.

Here it comes, in time for the elections, the voting statement of the Milan prosecutors' office.

He sacrificed himself to deny Milan a chance to score. We will go to Milan to qualify and we will dedicate our qualification to him.

He's a really great player for which we have a great respect and a love. He's a world star and at the end of the season he will decide what he wants to do. He will find doors open to all the world's teams, Milan too.

He's been the Milan we saw for a number of years. He's recaptured that confidence in the scoring area and it's nice to see that production coming from him.

I would say it's impossible because I have a contract with Milan which I'm trying to respect.

Italian teams always give you the idea you can play your own game but also prescribe how far you can go. We will have some chances in Milan but have to be aware that we must keep our lines close to each other. That was what went wrong in the second half at home.

It is access that is impossible to get, to events like the Emmy Awards or (movie) premieres in London, Paris and New York, or Milan fashion shows -- those sort of things that are so unique. So we sell access,

Jimmy practically played Inter Milan on his own. There was nothing he was ever frightened of, he was brilliant.

Over the span of two games I don't think Milan was inferior to Barcelona. I'm disappointed, obviously, but I don't have any reason to be upset with my players.

My office in Milan is in an old factory. I have all my companies here, including Italia Independent and Independent Ideas.

I think he's very anxious and excited to come to Milan and Milan is anxious and excited for him to come here. Contract negotiations went pretty quickly.

I think Hedgy deserved it way before me, ... With the system you have, I think it costs players like Milan a spot when they should be on. But that's the way it goes.

I think it will be fun. Not just for Milan fans, but for all the fans in Europe and the world that will follow this game.

I think Milan and Barcelona are two great teams, maybe the best expressions of soccer right now in Europe. I think you'll see two great games of spectacle and skill.

Maybe I need a new challenge. I remember when a France team-mate told me once, 'When you wear the AC Milan shirt, it shows you have succeeded'. That makes you think.

We do have to buy players like Real Madrid and AC Milan so we can't say our philosophy is just to use young players, ... We will bring players in from outside and inside but it is up to me and the academy to make sure the players are good enough.

We earned ourselves three very important points. We played well and created plenty of opportunities and now we can focus on the Milan match. The only negative aspect was the injuries, but we hope they aren't too serious.

The problem tonight was finishing off. I'm proud of the boys, the way they played against a team with a budget five times bigger than us. But I always like to get a result. It's not easy to get six chances against Milan in this stadium, which we did.

We didn't choose to be cautious, but Milan needed the win and we didn't, so both teams took a different approach. We enjoyed some good moments, but Milan were more adventurous.

This sponsorship was a logical next step in Mercury's pioneering the 'experiential marketing' front, as well as in our ongoing efforts to cultivate the great storytelling found in independent films, ... The customer coming to a Landmark Theatre aligns perfectly with the customer we expect to see for our new vehicles, including the Mercury Milan sedan and Mercury Mariner Hybrid compact SUV -- a highly educated, tech savvy, cultured professional who likes to go out to a great restaurant, followed by a thought-provoking film.

We won't stand a chance against Milan if we play like we did in our last league game.

When you are a manager, you must be proud when a club like Real Madrid talk about your future. They and Inter Milan are really big clubs, fantastic clubs, but so are Liverpool. I have been talking with the board and they have told me they share the same ideas as me.

We will go to Milan to win the second leg. More than ever, the odds are now fifty-fifty. We must not feel disappointed by this draw. We haven't given anything away.

We didn't give Milan much help. It doesn't matter who is in net, if you don't help them, especially against a team like Sweden, you are not going to win.

We are excited to have Milan join the Sharks organization and look forward to having him in training camp. There is a reason we selected Milan at sixth overall in this year's draft.

When Milan spoke with me and told me about this guy, I never asked for any assurances. The chairman just said 'I'm looking to do something with someone Harry. It's going to be good for the club, they desperately want you this that and the other', so I said 'that's fine'. It sounds as if he will be exciting for the club.

We gained one point over Inter, thus we are happy. We were lucky today, and overjoyed as we travel to Milan with a nine-point lead.

We showed them too much respect in the first 20 minutes. So a 0-0 draw is not a bad result. We were frozen with fear at the start. Something about the legend of AC Milan gets in your head.

Even though Milan's pool is only three years old, Monroe broke some very impressive pool records set by some very fast swimmers. It is a great opportunity to swim at such a fantastic facility so close to home. We really appreciate Milan for inviting us to swim at their pool.

At 29, he is in the prime of his career and we strongly believe he will be a strong contributor to our club and Milan will thrive in this new NHL landscape.

I've not discussed it with Milan yet. I don't know where it's at yet. But if someone's going to come in and we are going to be able to improve the playing squad, which we need to do, it's got to be good for the football club.

As part of Paul Hastings global corporate strategy, we are expanding our transactional capabilities in all regions in which we operate, especially throughout our offices in London, Milan and Paris. Keith Wilson's years of experience and expertise in asset lending complements our international finance practice and will allow us to further meet our clients' needs.

That was a cheap shot. That was a knee-to-knee. We know Milan had problems and missed one year because of his knee.

This creates the opportunity for additional ice time for players like Marco Sturm, Niko Dimitrakos and Milan Michalek,

There was a temptation with regard to Real Madrid, but when a club like Milan propose a contract extension you cannot refuse.

As we create new Mercury vehicles like the Milan and Mariner Hybrid, we know our customer has a real love of storytelling, ... Working with Landmark Theatres is exciting because it opens up opportunities for us in the world of independent film ... and then gives us a venue to showcase our invigorated brand in very unexpected ways.

A Champions League semifinal between Inter and Milan is something exceptional and we are determined to be the winning side.

It's early in the preseason, and it was the ideal time for Milan to do this,

It was a very balanced match. Milan played well and produced some good scoring chances that unfortunately we did not turn into goals.

It's an open contest between us, Milan and Inter,

It really pleases me to come back to Italy. We are very, very close to ratifying everything in the agreement with Milan but I will be delighted to talk when everything is sorted out,

It's a long season and Milan and Inter can give us bother right up until the end,

It's wonderful to play in a side like Milan where there is the ability to react to difficult moments and bring the best out of ourselves.

It will be a very interesting game against a strong side. They've played at a consistently high level for a long time now. I've already played against Milan as a player and as a coach, so it's just another game featuring two strong teams and that's it.

The national team members on Bayern have a great opportunity to restore their pride. It was a real debacle. I think several of my players have had Milan in mind since that game, and if that's the case we have a good chance.

It's not about how many people will be in the stands, though that's part of it. It's about the credibility of our team. Perception in some cases is worse than reality. People will be able to judge us and the quality of our team. AC Milan is one of the top three-four clubs in the world, but I think we'll do fine. This opportunity is incredible. It's one that doesn't come along too often.

I have played a lot of times against Milan as a player and coach, so it's really just another game.

In the end, only 23 players will make it and whoever is left out will have to accept it. These two days are already something special. Then I go back to Milan and I'm hoping for a great finish to the season.

I quit my job in the bank when I was 19. I took a chance. I went to Milan to study opera and singing. My father really supported me economically.

I didn't see a charge. He kind of turned just as Milan went to hit him. I thought it was a clean hit. He hit him solid. I think his head hit the glass. Milan hits hard, but he hits clean. It wasn't like the ref didn't see it.

I am proud for Milan and Inter. I also hope that later we can see an all-Italian final.

I can't be too disappointed because we played well, maybe better than our opponent. We created more scoring occasions than Milan but we didn't know how to take advantage. It all happened in the last few minutes. We had the win in our pocket.

I believe in fate and the final is on May 26 - the same date Marseille beat Milan 11 years ago. It is my dream to become the first Frenchman to pick up the Champions League trophy.

The Fusion, Milan and Zephyr continue to surprise us on the upside. These new, fuel-efficient cars are helping our dealers to retain owners and capture new ones. We never have been in a better position to compete for customers in an environment of rising gasoline prices.

The Fusion, Milan and Zephyr are helping us to carve out a larger share of the market among mid-size car buyers. These cars are helping our dealers to retain our owners and capture new ones in one of the largest segments in the industry.

The customer is very sensitive to price. They travel and if they know they can get something cheaper in Milan or London you risk losing their loyalty.

In Italy, I am almost seen as German for my workaholism. Also I am from Milan, the city where people work the hardest. Work, work, work - I am almost German.

Retire me to my Milan, where Every third thought shall be my grave.
