Played Quotations | Page 7

I'm very happy to have been a one-club man, but I wouldn't shoot down guys who have gone off and played in multiple clubs either because, essentially, it is an earning that people are after.

I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore. I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.

It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.

Having bought furniture for my own house, and bought furniture for our house in Washington, a furniture store seemed like a good idea, and it also played into my personal history.

I want to sit with 80- and 90-year-old people more than anyone. They have played this game before. Not one of them has told me, 'I wish I had more money.'

Most actors, if you ask them if they play guitar, they'll say they played guitar for 20 years, but what they really mean is they've owned a guitar for 20 years.

The very first proper play I did was 'Godspell,' and I played the guitar for it, and I had a small part in a high school play. And before that, in sixth grade, I wrote a musical about Noah's ark.

It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.

When I was a kid, I played basketball religiously. I begged my mom to get me voice lessons because I wanted to learn to sing the right way, but at the same time, I was playing Junior Olympic basketball, and I was playing point guard for my school. But I was wanting to get into entertainment, into music and film and television.

I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre, and that's really where my training is.

I think when I was younger I wasn't really sure if I wanted to act, so I played around with a few different ideas. I wasn't sure whether I might want to write or whether I might want to do something in fashion.

I read every book there was on jazz, about the original players - King Oliver, Buddy Bolden and all those groups. At one time I was fairly well schooled in that... I could tell you who played where and when, historically, way before my time.

I knew I loved football before I even played it. Uh, but the first time I stepped out on the field playing for the Lakeshore Redskins, I knew that I loved this game. I knew that this was something I wanted to do. And I was only 6 years old, but I loved it.

On 'Ant-Man', I took a rubber stamp from the office of Hank Pym, who's played by Michael Douglas.

I think we're going to enter a phase where there's less interest in the CGI and there's a demand for story again. I think we've dropped the ball a little bit on stories for the sake of the amazing toys that we've played with.

I had great relationship with the Hispanic - we had a lot of Hispanics in the school actually from different countries, Venezuela, from Brazil, and they all played soccer, and I was on the soccer team, and I developed great relationships with them.

I played characters with villainous aspect. But out-and-out villain? No.

I never developed hard cartilage in my ears because I played with them since I was a baby. I can fold my ear entirely inside out, and I can put the whole thing inside itself.

I played golf with my friends, and then I started to play with the hustlers. And I learned a lot. I learned about golf; I learned about gambling. I learned about everything.

In order to appreciate a great man, we must know his surroundings. We must understand the scope of the drama in which he played - the part he acted - and we must also know his audience.

You get to a certain age, and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines; you're not going to get played on radio, and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

Black people dance well because we start early - there's music being played everywhere. White people? They don't start dancing until they get to college, and by then, it's too late; the bottom don't move with the top no matter how hard they try.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

The other teams I played on were more keyed in on defense. The defense was going to bring our offense and that was it. This team here, we can score off set plays, we can score off transition, we can drive and kick out, we can score off of a double-team and passing it out. We have a lot of weapons to play with. We're just using them out there and it's helping us score points.

The other team played pretty well. If we eliminate that one inning, we could've had the game.

The other team played hard; they executed a great free kick. You have to give them credit. We suffered some injuries but you have to give the credit to the team that played well.

The other team played better than us today. That's basically what it came down to.

The possibility to play this game is very exciting and very motivating. The play I got hurt on, I played a little tentative, and I think it made me realize that if you played tentative you're going to get hurt.

The positive was our team play was further ahead. I thought our guards played the way they should have. They played like I expected since they're the veterans.

The positive side is that we put together about 12 minutes of play where our offense, defense and kicking game played probably as well as we could play at this particular point of the season. That was only 12 or so minutes, though.

The person we are reading about is not the same person who played baseball at Cal State, Dominguez Hills. I can see Steve giving his mom and dad hugs after the game. It was a very close family. It's just so out of character for this young man.

The person I heard say it the best was Bum Phillips when they asked him about Earl Campbell. He said, 'I don't know if he's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.' I think Reggie White is a charter member of that club right there. He was as dominating and as good a player as probably anybody who ever played the game.

The performance in global clearing was the only real negative we can point to this quarter as balance growth has clearly slowed here. But we also suspect that continued pressure on commission rates played a role here as well.

The perception that the wicket was flat played a part (in the way South Africa bowled),

The people who kept Shirley McCall off the all-conference teams are crazy. She?s one of the most valuable players in this league, and I?m just happy she came out and played extremely well today.

The only reason I played golf was so that I could afford to go hunting and fishing.

We are proud to have four players who played a major part in Wednesday's success.

We are pleased with that performance and result. Bolton are a hard team to play against, you can see that by their results, and I am delighted, as we played some terrific football.

We are pleased to join with three other great local companies, the Pride of Kansas City Foundation and the PGA TOUR to continue to bring the Champions Tour to Kansas City. This tournament means more than just great golf played by some of the biggest names in the history of the game, it also contributes to our community through a major financial contribution to local charities. Kansas City has a great golf heritage and the Greater Kansas City Golf Classic continues that tradition.

We've already played this gimmick, ... We want to play clean so we don't even raise the ceiling.

We've already played Lexington Catholic. We're not going to see anybody better than the teams we've already played.

We've already done that. The two quarterbacks we have, Vincent hasn't played before and Gill played JC. We've taken out as much as we can.

We've all played this game and had our hearts broken. I can only imagine what it feels like at this level.

We've all played some tough teams and not played up to our potential. I think the district season will boil down to home court advantage, trying to get the higher seeding for the district tournament.

We've all played football all our lives. This isn't the time to get nervous. This is what you play for. There's more on the line (than in most regular-season games), but it's still football.

We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game.

We usually start off slowly. We usually play better in the second half, but we just played well in the second quarter and they really struggled shooting the ball. Obviously, that made things easier for us. We didn't change anything. We went with our game plan. We just did a better job executing.

We started to execute more and our team did not have as many turnovers. We just played better as a team in the fourth quarter. I was a little nervous at first, a little nervous. They played us real tough, but we came through.

We started three guys who haven't played a minute of Division I basketball in this type of environment, and I thought they showed a lot of poise right from the beginning. I thought we competed on every possession right to the end of the game, which was what we had hoped we would do.

We started this game with some players on the sidelines (injured) that we thought would make the difference. The guys who stepped in there played their hearts out. It was a great team effort.

We started the season slowly, but since then we've won four on the bounce and played pretty well during that time,

We started so good and then we relaxed a little bit and they played very aggressive. They're a good ball club. We'd have sure liked to win two and we didn't get it done, but at least we're playing and having some fun.

We started slow tonight. We just couldn't put every aspect of the game together in the first game. The second game we were really fighting. I thought we played more our style. It could have gone either way.

We started slow today. In the second half we played with better intensity than we did in the first half.

We started slowly but played better midway through the first half and were able to control the tempo of the game. It's always good to get that first win in conference play.

We started slow, like we usually do, but we rushed things, and tried to force them when we needed to be more patient. The girls played hard, it just didn't happen.

We started slow at the plate, but kept putting pressure on them with bunting and running until we could get some timely hitting. We made some mistakes, but again played great defense when we it was needed. The pitchers did a good job.

We started slow and Littleton played well in the first half. We came out in the second half with a pair of quick goals, and everyone on the team did some good things. I am very pleased with the three head ball goals we scored. We don't do that very often.

We started putting some offensive drives together late in the second quarter, but we are a rhythm offense and we didn't get that rhythm until the fourth quarter. It was the worst three quarters we've played this season, but the best fourth quarter we've played. That was the difference.

We started playing well in the district tournament. Even though we lost, we played a strong game. Had some balls bounce the wrong way. I think the kids took something out of that.

We started playing better defense and took charge. We did some good things offensively and played much better defense in the second half.

We started passing well. We played defense a little better, we started getting blocks outside and we were serving a little tougher ourselves.

We started passing better in the second half. After we got through the initial part of the game, we started playing better. We had our opportunities. (The Lady Bulldogs) played well and have nothing to be ashamed of.

West Side shot the ball better than I expected. They played very well. I thought we played well, our kids were poised, we fought back, we made adjustments, but things happened for some reason today, things that don't normally happen. But I can't be more proud of a team in all my years of coaching.

West Rutland's defense is excellent. I thought we played pretty well in the second half but our shots just weren't falling. They did a better job than anyone has on Marcy.

We struggled tonight, and Coleman played a good game. We need to work on some things and improve the level of our play.

We struggled formulating a game plan and I thought about changing to something different. But we haven't played that way all year. We needed to do what we do and if we have to we will make adjustments.

We are a legitimate final-four team. We have played a difficult schedule against a lot of bigger schools. And we have had players not available for certain games. One of our best players was in Argentina for four games. We had a lot of our losses during Christmas break when a lot of kids were away for vacation. Our record was deceiving, so very deceiving.

We are a good defensive team and we are getting better. This is a team that hasn't played together for a long time and we are still trying to figure out who we are on offense. But we are getting there.

We are a global sport. I mean, golf is obviously played all around the world. But when you have your National Championship, of course, everybody in America is rooting for an American.

We are a first-half team. ... Trying to hold a lead for 55 minutes is tough to do. We played hard today and so did Apple Valley.

We are lucky to have him as a part of our staff and this promotion is a well-deserved acknowledgment of the part that he has played in the phenomenal success of our basketball program.

We are looking forward to being at home again. We have not played a home night game, so I hope there is a great electric atmosphere. I'm hoping we will get a lot of students out, which would be great.

We are a very young team. We played really well defensively but we missed a couple of opportunities on offense. I thought we played well for our first game. I was very pleased with our effort.

We are a team that kind of likes momentum and kind of builds off that momentum. We seized the opportunity tonight. We took advantage. That?s how we played last year.

There are definitely enough resources of people that have been there. Even guys on our team that have been there and played in this game, and I guess you just have to listen and try to learn what you can from those types of people.

There are some good teams. Pine View is ranked in the top five, Mountain View played well in its win over Payson, so it will be tough. Normally, we would have played three games by now. Our kids are really excited to play. They've been working hard. They're all frustrated and ready to get started. We're hoping to get good weather down there.

We struggled defensively early, but the one stable factor that came back to us is our run defense. It's obvious that Alvin Smith and Henry Anderson and Trent Bray and Keith Ellison played big, big roles for us in that area.

We struggled as a team. They played their game and I feel like we could have been more mentally focused tonight. I know it starts with me -- point guard, leadership. I wouldn't take anything away from the defense (Delaware State) played, but I think more than anything we could have come out and been more mentally strong.

We struggled, and I thought Kentucky's tenacity on defense had a lot to do with it. They were swarming and really played physical. I thought their defense impacted us in a big way.

We struggled a little shooting the ball tonight. Granite plays a good, tough zone and they played it very well tonight.

We struggled a little bit in the first half, but we came out in the second by making some stops, ... We played really well together, cycled the ball around through everyone, and that's what it's going to take to make a playoff run this season.

We struggled a little and they made it very hard to penetrate the middle. We made some adjustments at halftime and played better.

West Rowan came out and played like the No. 1 team in the conference. They smacked us in the mouth. We challenged the guys in the locker room. I'm proud of their effort in the second half.

We stress that. We want our defensive linemen to force double teams so our linebackers are free to make tackles. Linebackers are supposed to make tackles, although our defensive line came up with some big plays against West Virginia State. The fact is our defense has played well as a team.

We stressed defense in practice this week. We didn't locate their shooters when we played them down there; we can't afford to do that again.

(West) played wonderfully. They just controlled the ball well. They passed pretty well, played real good defense and scrapped really hard. They didn't let the ball fall and kept it coming back.

West played really well. But I think we got a little ahead of ourselves, too . . . I hope it was an eye-opener.

We stopped them from getting offensive boards. We did that, forced some turnovers and played our game.

We stopped running and played at a slower tempo, which allowed them to sag in and double team.

We stopped doing all the little things that we did earlier. We reverted back to some of our old ways and played with not a lot of intensity.

We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win.

We still played good defense in the first half, but our shots just weren't falling, ... Our defense was clicking. In the second half, we just started knocking them down. We were attacking, and our energy was up.

We still played good defense and pretty good offense. We shot 50%, 40-something from three.

We still need to work on putting three good rounds together. We played really good the first round; the second was bad, and the third wasn't that good. We need three consistent rounds.

We still need to work on being aggressive with the bats against better pitchers. We did a good job and they played hard. We got some girls some experience at different positions. I was happy with what I saw. We did well competing against a good team.

We still missed too many serves and we played a little sloppy in games one and two. We played better in games three and four and there were streaks where our blocks were real good." ()

We're in a time where the clock is moving much more quickly on GM. I think they're fortunate to have Jerry because this thing is going to be played out in the next six months, not the next five years.

We're in a great race. (Tonight's game) is a huge game for both teams, very meaningful. We've played them well in most of the (previous) six games.

We're in a great place to win. Everyone is gunning for us. We played really well in the last two events and for the most part, when one of us wasn't hot, the other did well. When we put it together, we really handled the teams.
