Rogers Quotations

I grew up in Alice, Texas, a small oil town with one theater that only showed Roy Rogers movies. So when I got the role, I had never even seen a Bond film and had only had a vague notion about the idea of a Bond girl.

I am George Rogers Clark. You have just become a prisoner of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Detroit is drunken idiots. It was no surprise to me. I performed with Kenny Rogers for one year as his opening act, and I got to visit every major American city and notice the audience, and Detroit was one of the worst.

It's always been a dream of mine to be Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse, and here I am performing alongside Robert Lindsay and being directed by a major Broadway producer. Who said dreams don't come true?

I first started writing historical fiction in the late '70s and kept pictures of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers on my refrigerator until my first book was published by Avon in 1982. The biggest advantage of this genre for me is that it allows me to blend fact and fiction.

I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.

I grew up on the north side of Chicago, in West Rogers Park, an overwhelmingly Jewish neighborhood. When I was 13, my parents moved to Winnetka, Illinois, an upper class, WASPy suburb where Jews - as well as Blacks and Catholics - were unwelcome on many blocks. I suffered the spiritual equivalent of whiplash.

I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn't getting anywhere - like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department - I would draw the other people.

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers. He's a guy that wants to serve his country, but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was.

We're starting to see some improvement. Tristan Rogers had five 3's (3-pointers) the other night. Guys are starting to find their roles.

There are two teams I'd like to play for. The Texans, who have a lot of young talented guys who can be great players, and the Lions, since I'm from Michigan -- and it would give me the chance to go against Charles Rogers every day.

Casting Captain America is really casting two roles... Steve Rogers before and after the transformation from 98 pound weakling to perfect physical specimen. I can't divulge how we're going to do it, but the performance will be Chris Evans from beginning to end.

We took the lead in the fifth but they came right back and put some runs up. Rogers had some timely hits and they had base runners every inning.

Hal Rogers is just incredible, ... When you get someone like that on your side, you can't hardly tell him 'no.' He knows where the pockets of money are in Washington, all of 'em, and how to spend it.

Kenny Rogers made the All-Star team this year. He's 50-some games over .500 lifetime. He brings a lot to this party. I think we got a tremendous deal here.

Kenny Rogers is the staff ace but he'll be hard pressed to match his 13 wins from last year while serving as the Twins' fifth starter.

Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.

I thought Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were here dancing on black glass floors. And I thought everything was here. My idol, Walter Winchell was here.

I think Bell and Rogers are probably formulating their opinions on the subject.

I saw a lot of great combinations. I told our kids at halftime that I didn't think we were playing terribly. Rogers is just a very tough team to play against.

I said 'no.' I would vote 'no,' ... I am reminded of Rogers firefighters who were stuck in a hotel room a few weeks ago. Our taxpayer dollars are to take care of our taxpayers here in Benton County ... I work for Habitat for Humanity, so I do not have a cold heart. I am just trying to be conscientious.

Rogers Wireless operates Canada's largest integrated wireless voice and data network and continually looks for ways to innovate and improve the customer experience. Today's announcement is yet another innovative way for us to put the power of Rogers Wireless in more people's hands while at the same time re-enforcing a long standing relationship with one of Canada's most advanced and respected cable operators,

Rogers told us he regretted hosting the meeting with that group and that he would never have hosted it if he had known the organization might call for a boycott of Israel.

Rogers played very well. The game was such a battle. Both teams are going to be sky-high for this one. If you need a pep rally to get up for this game, something is wrong with your team. You're not going to have to have a carnival or parade.

Rogers is very talented. But in the goals they got, we didn't have any pressure on them.

Rogers is finding value in some unusual places.

Rogers has started learning what it's like to be a basketball town -- our community's been starved for it. The crowds have been there. They've really been a force for us. It's really been like an extra player.

Rogers has been chosen and nominated consistently every year because of their outstanding leadership and unparalleled levels of expertise demonstrated by both their management teams and sales associates.

Rogers came up with some great saves. We would have liked to control the ball more, but he came through when we needed him.

Our only focus is on preparing our game, so we're not doing things to shut down Rogers or shut down somebody else.

I thought I was 100 percent at the beginning, but they wanted to protect my leg at first. Then our offense kind of struggled, and they sent me in. Alex Rogers has worked hard this week, and he deserved to start. We just picked it up after the first quarter.

Jim Rogers is wonderful fundraiser and has tremendous respect from a lot of people, but there are other people out there who would not give a dime to something just because he is involved. Just because he has those strong leadership qualities that can endear people to him or enrage them.

I'm so glad that Fred's music is getting the recognition it deserves, and that all of the effort that went into creating this tribute has been so rewarded. Even if we hadn't been honored, it's enough for me to know that the Rogers family and his non-profit organization are so supportive.

Will Rogers wasn't helpful to me at all. He was just concerned with his way of doing things. He didn't like me much because I used to wear slacks to the studio, and that was not done much in those days, so I guess he thought I was rather fast.

Will Rogers rides again. The Dust Bowl era humorist, who once famously said, 'I don't belong to any organized party. I'm a Democrat,' would feel right at home in his party today.

Will Rogers once said, 'If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.' Medicare is in a deep hole. Maybe it is time to stop digging.

We couldn't go anywhere all summer long without people wanting to talk about that Rogers game, no matter where we went. We got a lot of nice comments from coaches, players and people throughout northern Michigan. They were proud of the job we did and the way we represented northern Michigan.

We played exceptionally well that game and that's where I got the first clue that this could be something special. A lot of people were doubting whether this team would be any different than any of the other Rogers teams of the past and I think we answered that.

We have to keep them off the boards, too. Their offensive rebounding really worries me. They beat Rogers quite a bit on the offensive end. Hopefully, our defense is as good as it has been.

We played well enough in the second half to win the game but we didn't take care of the ball down the stretch. Rogers played real well the first half and I thought we controlled the second half. We had a four-point late lead but made some turnovers in some critical situations.

When I went to the movies and heard cowboys like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry yodeling when I came out of the movie I was that guy.

We were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. Hey, I'll take 1-0 any day. They're tough. Rogers has always been good.

We had a great run. I was kind of disappointed after practice yesterday but (crew chief) Dave Rogers made the perfect adjustments again and got us on the pole for the second straight week.

We knew coming in that it would be a very tough match. The fact that Rogers has won the state championship two years in a row will tell you that.

We were only allowed to watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and 3-2-1 Contact!

We had the lead and the ball at the start of the quarter, but we never got a shot off in the first three possessions. Rogers made plays to retake the lead and we could not answer. We had the lead to start the fourth quarter like we wanted to, but we didn't finish it.

We didn't make offensive changes. Pitching-wise, you bring in a legitimate front-line pitcher in Kenny Rogers and we got back one of our own from the beginning, Todd Jones, and more importantly, with the players that we had, we've got a staff that's going to be able to take us to the next level.

The Rogers are the most sensitive and amazing family we ever met.

The Texas Rangers organization would like to thank Kenny Rogers for his efforts over the last two seasons and during his entire Rangers career. As we look at 2006 and beyond, we feel it is in the club's best interests to move forward without him.

Songs From the Neighborhood: The Music of Mister Rogers

Adam's four points were the biggest difference maker in the meet. We typically get shut out by Rogers in the shot and discus.

One goal against Rogers is never enough. We were in a little bit of a hole there (in the first half). But I thought we played better in the second half. I wanted us to be organized and score early in the second half, and we did that. A tough game like this will help us at state.

The Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Sweater Drive is a fitting tribute to the beloved PBS personality, one that promotes his messages of caring and consideration for others. The values that children learn from Fred Rogers and his program are timeless.

This drug could save the lives of 1,000 women a year. It is unfair and cruel for women like Ann Marie Rogers to know that it is money and their postcode that stands between them and this potentially life-saving treatment.

This is a big, big sweep for us. Rogers is a quality program and they figured to be one of the teams that we will have to beat out in the battle to get in the top four spots and go to the state tournament.

This person should not be directly connected with the President Ford Committee nor should he be seen as a member of the liberal wing of the Republican Party. He should be someone like Laird or Rogers Morton.

It's a great night for Rogers to honor a group of guys that have helped take the program to another level. They've laid a foundation necessary to reach this year's goals and the goals in the future.

It's the first time we feel we can go to someone. We had Jason Johnson last year. He wasn't necessarily the vocal leader we needed, but Kenny Rogers is that.

It's a pretty hard place to play. But, we're attempting to change a lot of things about Rogers basketball. We've won two big (conference) games on the road now and we're ready to go.

It's still a very tough position for Rogers to be thrown into,

Taylor's doing a great job playing post defense. There are so many good post players in this league - like Mercedes Alexander and Haley Rogers - and that's helped get her ready.

It was a great start to the season, they were solid all around. Beating both Rogers and Barrington in the same afternoon is quite an accomplishment as they are two of the better programs in the state. We had not beaten Rogers during outdoor track in a very long time.

It was a big game, and there were probably some nerves. Neither team was explosive scoring the ball early, but Rogers knocked the lid off the basket earlier than we did.

They certainly have individuals on that team that are capable. They are plenty talented enough. And they didn't have Chris Rogers the first time around when they beat us in Tucson.

After The Partridge Family I worked as a stable boy for Kenny Rogers for a while. But during the show my Mom and I had a couple of horses named Beauty and Patience. Neither attribute was possessed by these horses.

The council knew there are things missing in the community for teens to do. So money is being put aside for a teen center. Jill Rogers is putting it together.

In 1969, Pod Rogers came up with the idea of getting on the 'Glen Campbell Good Time Hour,' Russell said.

I knew Rogers would be tough. They have great ball control, they pass the ball well. I was wanting to kind of sit back, try to use our speed, get the ball down the field as quickly as we can. And it paid off. We were able to punch one in.

I knew Rogers was a little smaller than me so I knew he couldn't block my shot. It was just a blessing that it went in.

In those days I was new to covers; merely felt pleased that a story of mine had been honored. I later met Rogers who did some of my early covers and I was impressed with him.

I have to tell you, I had 14 great years with that guy. Now that he's decided to go with Rogers & Cowan, they'll do a fine job for him.

I probably inventoried about 10,000 images, and as you go through the images, you see Calcite being built, and you see the community of Rogers City developing. So it's a tremendous historical record.

In the 1950s, my mother made this gown, ... It's (patterned on) a Ginger Rogers gown.

Becky Rogers hit a couple of jumpers that opened up the offense. She can turn and catch the ball and let it fly. She has a nice jumper that she really didn't use last year.

He's truly a renaissance individual for our times, ... I've likened him to a Will Rogers voice in Congress (with) humor (and) common sense. He brought real legislative achievements, working on environmental issues for Southern California ... working on issues for the voters of California by protecting their will against activist judges. He was a well-rounded and dedicated lawmaker.

For the first time, every senior will be a starter. The 2006 edition of the Rogers High baseball team is just like a litter of pups. We are young but they want to learn and they have been fun to be around.

The court has reinstated Mr. Rogers as a member of the volunteer fire department until such time as the appropriate procedures are utilized to decide whether he should remain a member of the department, if that is what he wants too.

If I could paraphrase a well-known statement by Will Rogers that he never met a man he didn't like -- I'm afraid we have some people around here who never met a tax they didn't like.
