Phil Quotations | Page 2

I'm a hip-hop dancer, but when I'm in my room it turns into this lyrical nonsense, and I listen to Phil Wickham and India Arie, who has the most precious songs.

I have a pretty young team. They see how Reed and Phil play doubles together and that has been a good model. They play doubles the way it should be played.

I give Dr. Phil kudos for picking a couple of studs for his corral.

I felt like history needed it. I felt like the fans needed it. And most of all, I felt like Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods needed it.

I felt like since Christmas we've played very good offensively, shooting about 50 percent, and we've been focusing on getting our defense back to where it belongs and having Phil back tonight certainly helped give us good balance.

If I owned a team or was in charge, I'd want Phil Jackson, also.

I first came across Phil Larder in his rugby league days. He was the Director of Coaching at the Rugby League and we had a difference of opinion. Let's just say that I wanted to be an innovator and not an imitator. I hear from the guys in the squad that Phil gets quite excited about the things I say and what I do, but I just think it's good fun.

I feel like it's the first time in 25 years of writing that my work has truly been 'realized' the way I intended. I think Phil knows the people I write about, the place, and we share a similar vision, so when we communicate we're in sync. We both feel our collaboration brings out the best in each other, and I am really thrilled with the reception it has received.

Fourteen made the difference for me. But really, the way Phil played, it wouldn't have made any difference.

I don't think you're going to hear anything about Phil's next step in the NBA, if there is a next step in the NBA, until a new champion is crowned. I don't think Phil is going to accelerate the pace of any discussions. He has obligations that are non-NBA related. As it turns out, his calendar of engagements ... frees itself right around the time the NBA playoffs conclude. That's the time when we could really jump into it if there are serious offers.

For whatever reason, I have gotten to Phil so completely and thoroughly that every time he comes to Dallas he has to offer unsolicited comments about me to the media. I wonder if he dreams about me the nights he spends here in Dallas.

He was all about nature. Phil was one of the most magnificent people you could ever have met.

He was the only choice. He was going to do it or we weren't going to do it. I've known Phil for 21 years now, and I feel I know him inside and out, and other than him being an incredible actor, a shaman-like actor, I will say that everything in this movie that gets revealed through this character are things that Phil knows.

He went to every fund-raising meeting vouching for a first-time feature director and first-time screenwriter. It was Phil who said, 'I believe in them; you need to trust me.

He has an enormous ego, which is good because that's why he's (in the NBA). He probably doesn't, behind closed doors, respect Kobe (Bryant) but he's got to respect (coach) Phil (Jackson) so that will kind of keep him in his place. He was the type of kid who had natural basketball instinct. He did things I couldn't teach.

He (Evans) believes in an open process and so does Phil and so does John.

Today it would be Phil because he just won on one of the hardest courses you can play. But Tiger's the one to beat every week. They're going to win this thing several more times, those two.

What I saw in Phil is a guy who is very confident in what he's doing. I saw him approaching (the Masters) mentally like I've always seen Tiger approach it.

He seems to have kind of an innate understanding of the game for someone as young as he is. I don't think it will be three years before he plays. I think (Lakers coach Phil Jackson) will like him.

Hopefully we can improve on our (pitching) numbers from last year, and come conference and playoff time we should be pretty experienced. Bobby and Kyle have the ability to be dominant and Casey, Phil and Tony are solid, too.

He was scrambling for players. I was lucky. Most players only have Coach Phil for two years, but I had him for four. He was very lenient about my not playing on Sunday. He told me I could play D-I.

He just got beat down there, didn't he? Phil is one of the great complainers of all time.

I thinking of people like Phil Ramone or George Martin,

I think it's cool when people listen when you don't tell them to listen. It's just Phil and I having a good time in here.

I think it's a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan ... Metal Folk protest?

I think the day will come when, for example, you will be able to watch Phil Mickelson from the first tee to the 18th green, ... If you want to watch Andre Agassi at the U.S. Open, you can do it.

I think the biggest change is we have a system that we believe in and we trust, ... It's Phil and the system ? absolutely. It's a beautiful system. When everything's clicking, it's a beautiful thing to watch.

I thought we had a spurt early in the third quarter when we got Phil in transition. I could feel momentum go our way. Give Bald Eagle credit, they came back and took that momentum away from us. We did have our chances.

I thought Phil did well. He made some telling tackles in the loose and I am sure after a couple of games he will be knocking on the door of the region.

I think as we look at our starting five, it has to be a point of emphasis. We want to get more physical as a program. We lose two big guys with Phil and Buddy who are our two leading scorers inside.

I watched how to win - I had the best seat in the house and what I saw was that Phil had fun

Jeff Stallings was one of the top pitchers in the conference. We lost him towards the end of last year and that really hurt us. Joey Devine was one of the top pitchers ever in this conference, which he proved by what he did after he left here, making the big leagues in two months. Phil Davidson who was so versatile and played so many roles for us. He started, he came in in the sixth inning, came in the third, spot-started. He even closed some games. Phil was amazing for us. When a guy can do that many things for you, you're not just missing one pitcher; it's like you're missing three.

Jim Leflore just wouldn't be moved. I thought that Shaun Doherty and Phil Morrison were outstanding defensively, and Phil Aiello came up with his second interception in two games.

Jay's a very good goalie. He's been good for us in all the three games he's played. Phil played good in the one game he started and he'll be good for us, too.

Kyle is a good athlete with good speed and he has worked hard in the off-season. Pat has excellent size and has also worked hard. Phil missed last year because of an injury but is athletic and has played well.

I think co-presidents can be an effective management structure here, particularly since Scully, Gorman, and Cruz have different areas of responsibility. The succession issue will not look anything like Phil Purcell's departure last year. Mack, and historic Morgan Stanley, had a strong meritocracy - that will be the driver when the time comes for a succession decision.

I saw him miss the return, and I heard someone in the crowd say, 'You're two ahead now, ... I didn't really expect Phil to make double on 17.

I saw him beat Phil Black. That tells you something about him.

I saw where Phil hit it on the last hole and if there was anybody in the world you'd back to get up-and-down from there, it would be Phil Mickelson. I didn't think there was much hope when I saw where he was. He's not a one-major guy, he's a 10-major guy. He deserves greatness. He's going to go on now and contend for majors as he's always done but now it's going to be easier and easier to win them.

Our goal is to win championships at SMU. Our strong finish to the 2005 season only strengthened my belief that Phil Bennett is the man who will lead us to Conference USA titles and bowl games in the years to come.

Outside of that Phil Matthews didn't have a save to make, Having said that, I don't think we did enough to win the game of football today in terms of what we did in the last third of the pitch.

Our biggest question mark might be our interior offensive line. We also have to get the linebackers sorted out. Decide who will step in at wide receiver, and the quarterback situation will work itself out. In my opinion, we have two really good ones (senior Phil Horvath and sophomore Dan Nicholson) who could both be considered starters.

Playing with Phil in the final two days and fighting for that win, you can't buy that experience.

Reed and Phil compose one of the best doubles teams in the state. Our team will miss these two next year, both as athletes and examples. One thing I do know is Reed and Phil will do what they can to finish their career off with a bang.

Some of my players needed 90 minutes in a meaningful game and we were able to do that for Phil Johnson while both Bob Mitchell and Willie Bennett played some time after recovering from injury.

That didn't stop him from asking me if Phil would like to come to Dallas in the next couple of days.

I think Phil has got the game there now.

I think Phil has got the game (at Augusta) now. I think Phil, almost more than Tiger, has got more Masters in him, maybe.

I think Phil has experience on a congressional level that is unparalleled by any other candidate. I personally like Phil. Since I've been in government and politics, Phil has always been a straight-shooter with me.

I think Phil Dick was particularly interesting in that, first of all, he was a very modern man and a very modern thinker, but I don't know what demons drove him.

I think Phil deserved this one. Full credit to him.

I think Phil can almost not give up any points period. He's almost that dominant.

I think he has helped all of us. Whether or not Phil Jackson is correct? That is up to you to discern, not me.

I think (manager Phil Garner ) is trying to push me into my utility-role career, ... He's seen enough of me behind the plate, so he figures if he can make me a utility player, he can get me out of here.

That would be one place where Phil can hit the ground running.

The 14th hole was really a killer, but there were several other putts -- I just couldn't get one to go. I think if Phil was putting for me, I would have won with 9- or 10-under.

Who has he got there? ... Phil (Mickelson)...they did good together, didn't they?

Whilst I'm pleased to say that Phil has made a very good recovery and is very much on the mend, he has decided to enjoy an early retirement with his wife Christine.

We have worked hard to develop our international scouting and Phil and Hiroyuki have had a good relationship with the Tigers for some time. This agreement will help us in building a strong and trusting partnership as we seek and exchange information that allows us to acquire talent from Japan.

We had our chance and Phil hit a screamer, but they made the play.

Tiger's a top player, but the overall competition has just been great. We've had all of our top players win this year (Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh). We want the networks to be profitable, and we want to assist them in their sales efforts. I think we'll be fine.

Tiger is not playing as well as he did then. Guys like Vijay, Phil (Mickelson), Davis (Love) and me have elevated a little bit, and the gap has closed a bit. I think guys get to the first tee and really believe they can win with Tiger in the field. Golf will humble the best of them and that's where we are.

You knew when it got late, Phil looked at me, ... There's been three or four times throughout the year he asked me how I felt I was swinging the bat or if got my spikes handy. I didn't think he was serious, and he probably wasn't. But the look that he gave me this time was very serious, and there was no kidding about it. And so I got out to the bullpen.

You know, I respect what Howard Dean has been able to do. It's good for our party. But I've got to tell you this: If money alone decided presidential nominations, Phil Gramm would have been nominated in '96.

Those guys are deserving of having the accolades. They are both at the top of the heap. Obviously Tiger is the best player in the world and he's been proving it for several years now. And Phil has raised his game up to a new level in the last couple of years. Man, the spotlight ought to be on them.

We are absolutely delighted to have concluded a deal with a player of Phil Neville's caliber and vast experience,

To be without Phil for such a length of time is a major setback, but he is a strong character and I am sure he will come back from this.

Where do I start? My former manager, Phil Kingsley-Jones, is Welsh, and I've spent a lot of time in the Principality, and I am looking for a challenge and a platform which will allow me a standard of rugby which will allow me to prove to my critics that I am not some washed-up has-been,

We play against guys we play with in the Ryder Cup week in and week out. We're all friends. Why the media want to generate any of this hatred - that's the problem. You even read stuff about Tiger and Phil disliking each other. How come they're always hanging together and playing ping-pong?

We practice it every day; this is the first time we ever had to use it. It came up huge. Phil actually has a lot of speed ... especially for a punter.

We're all following his lead. It seems like he's going down the right path. I would give him the same respect as I would give a Phil Jackson or a Larry Brown. I haven't had any problems with his discipline, except for maybe his ban on headbands.

When Phil turned to me and said, 'Get your jersey and spikes on,' I knew he was dead serious. So we got to it, and I had to pick my spot to get out there in the bullpen. I don't really relish what those guys have to go through.

When Phil shot his 62, a lot of people were saying it would be a long time before another guy shoots 62 out there. But it only took 365 days or so (actually 366). I'm glad it was me.

When Phil looked at me and said, 'Get your jersey and spikes on', he was dead serious about it,

When Peter Gabriel left, we obviously lost a very strong stage performer. Phil hasn't replaced him; Phil's done a different thing.

We wouldn't be where we are today without the vision, commitment and hard work of people like Phil who understood from the beginning how public funding for the arts advances our society and enriches our democracy - making life better for all Americans.

We said if we got the ball to the 22 or 23 we had the opportunity for a field goal. We thought we would put it on Phil because he's been consistent for us all year. The problem was we got the penalty and that hurt us.

With the conditions, all the courses are there to make some birdies. I think the scoring is going to be good this week if the weather stays like this. Sixty-two is a great start, but it's not like the tournament is over. I have to keep playing solid golf. Hopefully, I can do what Phil did last year.

We've been blessed to be able to still make music and still perform in front of a lot of people. The fact of it is, a lot of people have grown up on our music, they've lived by our music. Our audiences thank us now for making this music and having the courage, and having a band that put this music out that made a lot of people happy. Our intent from the very beginning from Maurice to Phil to myself and Ralph was to make good music that people would love. We're proud of that.

We were fortunate to hitch our wagon to Phil early and he hasn't disappointed.

We'll have two great performances by Montgomery Gentry and Phil Vassar, and joining us for the fun will be a bunch of my buddies from NASCAR. We're making sure that anyone who comes to the concert is going to have a good time.

What Phil did in that tournament was one of the best performances this season. He comes through whenever we need a big hit.

You have to make sure you're asking your quarterback to do things he's capable of doing. The experience factor is the thing that's missing. Phil can't become an experienced QB in one or two games, and Josh was a three-year starter. So we have to live with that.

You have to go out there and make birdies. Phil is playing extremely good golf. I feel like I'm playing decent as well. Today I had a great round.

We showed some young nerves and shot a little quicker than normal. Phil (Short) then went at the basket which got us into our game and Tom (Harrison) came up big for us in the second quarter.

We are building a state-of-the-art business school to bring High Point University's most popular major to a new level, ... We are eternally grateful for the generosity of our friend, Phil Phillips, whose name we are proud and honored to have on this important building.

We're very pleased to have Phil return to the Lakers as our head coach. His record speaks for itself and his success in this sport is unparalleled. Quite simply, Phil is the best coach in the business and probably the greatest coach of all time.

You don't know. I mean, guys have come back from 10 back before in majors and have won. I don't know. It all depends on what Phil (Mickelson), and as I said Jerry (Kelly) and the rest of the guys before him, if they shoot 64 or 65 or 66. Then, you know it's pretty far out of reach unless I shoot a low one and they come back tomorrow.

You get a course like this where it's really long for a guy like me. Phil can shoot at a lot of pins, but there's not that many times out there I have less than a 7-iron. . . . What I don't want to do is chase long drives, but I'm mature enough that I stopped doing that a long time ago.

We think that Phil will give our bowling a little more potency and the side a more competitive spirit. We are aiming for steady progress this season.

We are very proud of our technology leadership in the industry. Our new X-Tour Wedges are an example of how technology combines with human elements -- like the unique touch and great eye of a craftsman like Roger Cleveland and the input of a special golfer like Phil Mickelson -- to create a great product. It's what makes these wedges special and why we think they will become short-game classics.

We are very excited about the addition of William, Adam and Phil to our program. All three were highly recruited athletes who will make an impact on our team next season and into the future.

different project that I abandoned. And I almost did the Phil Spector story there for a while.

Documented celebrity cars always fetch a great deal of attention at our auctions. And when they're two of the most phenomenal sports cars in the world, they attract even more attention. Dr. Phil certainly had an eye for quality and rarity when he purchased these two beauties.

Dr. Phil has become an American icon in record time and his series' ratings just keep getting stronger and stronger, ... Dr. Phil's popularity is still growing, and we're thrilled to know we'll be bringing stations this top-quality series well into the next decade.

During the regular season, when everyone was trying to learn the offense, Phil and I both knew I was going to have to shoulder the scoring load. Now in the playoffs, everyone has a rhythm for the game and we can start attacking as a union.

There's nobody up here, city senior planner Phil Gardner said of the property.

There's no one better than Ben on the greens here at Augusta, probably him, Tiger (Woods) and Phil (Mickelson). I think Ben still may be even better than Tiger on the greens.

The totality of the GM job - should he be in the office more or can he maintain his schedule? - I think that's stuff we'll have to get back together and evaluate. If we get together and say it's the best thing for the organization for Phil to be out there, maybe we need to have somebody with Phil who spends more time in the office.
