Roll Quotations | Page 5

Rock 'n' roll is a business, ... Rock 'n' roll is a way of life. It's nice to think of it as a guitar-smashing party all the time, but the truth of the matter is, it's a serious family and business for INXS, in that order.

Rock 'n' roll doesn't always pay the bills, and I've been interested in bars - obviously - for a long time,

Rock 'n' roll can be dangerous and fun at the same time, so thanks a lot.

Rock 'n' roll and automobiles have always had this synergistic connection,

Rock and Roll Over' was the first Kiss album I heard, but I was totally oblivious to their whole image and the makeup and all that. I was so out of touch with the wider world.

Rock and roll is one of the great American art forms, just like jazz, blues, and bluegrass. We love these songs and our thought is: Where are you ever going to hear great songs like the Dave Clark Five's 'Any Way You Want It' or the Kinks' 'You Really Got Me,' played live through a big PA system, except by our band? Nowhere!

Our races are to our sport what Wimbledon and the Australian, U.S., and French Opens are to tennis, and what the Masters, U.S., and British Opens and PGA Championship are to golf. Each race has the history, the tradition, the honor roll of legendary champions, and a special place in the eyes of all to make them stand apart from the other events.

Our music is something you have to hear. It's always difficult to describe. It's with our own slant, but it's rock 'n' roll nonetheless.

People hear a powerful female singer in a rock and roll band, and they say, 'Janis Joplin.' I think people just make that comparison because it's easy. But I don't think I sound like her at all.

People look at our record and think we'll roll over, but we don't.

Steve and Robert have been really great about stepping up to cover a bunch of courses, ... And Melissa is a temporary faculty member, primarily filling in for Susan. I think everyone, including the students, has tried to roll with it.

Some of the guys mentioned we haven't won here in a long time. We just had to keep grinding. We were trying to get that monkey off our back, get two points and continue the roll we're on.

Someone might want to buy a special bottle to commemorate an occasion. Or someone might want to roll the dice and hope to get a rare vintage cheap and be able to drink it.

That change devastated restaurant owners. It shifted the spending patterns of many restaurant patrons. Instead of taking their clients and potential customers to lunch, they would send them flowers instead. Or, as an alternative, they would rent a hotel conference room, have lunch sent in and roll the cost into the hotel bill, which is still fully deductible.

My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay

My memoir is completely not a rock 'n' roll wife's memoir,

Marty doesn't roll over for anyone. Everyone is trying to cut the best deals they can but some people think the publishers are asking for more than their fair share.

My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno.

I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch.

I was in Charlotte, N.C., when they launched the NBA team there, the Charlotte Hornets. And the first guy to roll into town was Carolina native Michael Jordan.

It felt good when stuff started going in. You know, you get your little roll going, ain't no feeling like it.

I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.

I think Delphi had a business plan to go bankrupt, but it got out of hand and went faster than they wanted, and it's become very messy. Also, Miller was very cocky. He was very antagonistic, and thought he was going to roll over the UAW. And the UAW International probably hoped that we would scare us bad enough so that we would roll over for concessions. Instead, the UAW rank-and-file response has been outrage and a willingness to fight back.

I think he (Selig) is probably better able to get support among owners, ... But they're trying to roll back 25 years of labor agreements in one round. I was telling them the best you can do is incremental improvement -Ê it's going to take a long time to straighten out this. They didn't want to hear that.

I think he's done a great job and I would think he would roll into the fall as the No. 1 guy.

I think 'Gatsby' is hobbled, in part, by its status as a Great American Novel. People kind of roll their eyes before they've even opened it, treat it with a 'been there, done that' attitude. I know I did. It took me years to re-open the novel and see how much I'd missed.

It definitely is a shock, but I also understand it's a business decision. It's something that comes along with being a NBA player. I've gotta roll with it.

Justin was able to get inside for that shot and we felt that it was as good an option as any. He's very athletic and he got a good roll on the last shot.

I'm still shaking from the elation of winning today. We've been so close and been on that other side, watching the other team get the trophy. I think it's a huge step for our program, university and team. We all have worked so hard, from top to bottom, everybody has played such an important roll in our success.

Maybe (only) one stretch we were able to roll four lines in succession. That's not the way we wanted to play.

Maybe one day I'll get it, but right now I'm content with getting three hits. It's fun right now. Everybody on the team is swinging the bats well and it's just fun. I always said we were going to get on a roll like this, and here we go.

Maybe if we can get us a win this weekend, we can get on the roll we need in the Cup Series, too.

Man, that was a roller coaster. We were puttering along for a half, and then we got on a roll and scored three times, and then we went right back in that valley again.

I'm in Alabama. First thing I want to say is Roll Tide! I was at the Alabama/Georgia game last year sitting right in the middle of the Alabama section and saw that they rolled all over them!

I think this team is ready to get on a roll right now. I think this is the team you're going to start seeing.

We need people to roll up their sleeves now.

We'll be able to roll 15 to 17 floats this year. We want everyone to know that the parade is open to anyone who wants to be part of it.

The 25 member states of the EU aren't ready to roll out the red carpet for Turkey to walk over on its own terms.

The aesthetic is not that we're taking a hand-held camera and we're just letting it roll and doing our thing, ... Before It Had a Name.

The album is kind of hard to compare to our previous work. Our stuff in the past has been very rock 'n' roll and punk pop. We definitely elaborated on what people would expect from us. The new songs are very new and different. We definitely kept the roots so you see flavors of that.

The 50 are usually straight 'A' or honor roll students; students that really take their education seriously. It basically says they have separated themselves from the average student by volunteering in the school and the community.

That was a very good team we just beat. We knew that. We knew they weren't just going to roll over. We beat a good team that was undefeated. I can't be too disappointed with that.

That was where the match swung. We just got on a roll after that. Nobody was going to stop us.

That was unusual for us ? it's not typical, and I think the boys understand and that it won't happen again. Miguel got a good roll on his shot, and it's a plus for us when he scores like he did tonight.

That was a great win for us. We can never let down, even though it's 2?. Oakland is a team that can get on a roll real quick. We got to keep it going.

That was a great win for us. We can never let down, even though it's 2½. Oakland is a team that can get on a roll real quick. We got to keep it going.

That was one of the things that James Taylor said about us when he inducted us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; that this was a real working band. It's very obvious when people come down to see the show tonight, they'll understand that this band has been getting along better personally and musically for the past couple of years and we're flying.

That was kind of strange ... yeah. It's definitely been a strange couple of years, those things combined with the fact that my daughter was born as well, which was one of the best times of my life. Mixed emotions, and I think in the album, there are highs and lows. I think we don't let that saturate it too much -- we still look at it as a rock 'n' roll album, and we try not to unload on the listener too much with emotional burdens -- but it's an honest record, and we're honest lyrically, and I think you can listen to it in different ways.

That was a mistake. You don?t want to leave Mike open to shoot the ball because if he gets hot like he did tonight, you can say goodbye. It?s an unbelievable thing, he can just get on a roll and keep knocking down shot after shot.

That's the type of win you need if you are going to keep something going and get on a roll here. Hopefully we can build on it.

That's what he does. I love that. It's just heavy, man. It starts at the waist and it's gone. He gets guys to roll over.

That's what happens if you don't have success. You have to roll with it. I understand that.

That's the poorest shooting night we've had all year. The open looks we had when we broke their pressure just didn't go in. We had more balls roll off the rim tonight than I've seen in any practice or game all year.

I was probably around 50 (percent) when I came back (the first time). I just wanted to play. Things were going well. We were on a roll and I just wanted to get back in there. I couldn't afford to take time off.

I was ready to get back into music and classic rock and roll was then making a big comeback. It was perfect timing. I felt rejuvenated.

I was only fond of the music up to a point. Rock and roll wasn't really my love.

I was on a roll before that. But that set me back. It was probably the low point of my career.

I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.

I wasn't trying to disrespect Pittsburgh, because I respect them a lot, and they are a great team. But we are not here to roll over for anybody. What I said (Tuesday), I meant it. I don't think I said anything too out-of-pocket.

I was not at the first Million Man March, because at that time I didn't see the value in going, ... But over the last 10 years I have listened to people tell me how beautiful the day was and how it changed their lives. The words kept coming: 'I'm going to be one in a million, put my name on the roll and let my story be told.' Now it's personal with me.

I was not a musician at the time. I had an acoustic guitar and I used to sing folk music and Bob Dylan songs. I loved rock and roll though.

Melt and dispel, ye spectre-doubts, that roll Cimmerian darkness o'er the parting soul!

Whoever wins will be able to roll out a used game strategy throughout their entire business immediately,

Whoever we're matched up against, we'll roll with it. Can we compete? Absolutely. Can we win? We'd love to find out.

We just couldn't regroup and then they got on a roll. The more we tried, the more they got on a roll and got going, so there's no answer. If you don't come out with a focus and effort for 48 minutes in this league, you're in trouble.

You just want to go out there and make your 50 pitches and get the best quality you can out of them. You can't put too much stock in spring training, but you want to get on a roll early.

You just can't roll out the balls. You have to do it on the court.

We couldn't get anything to fall. Their defense was a good part of the reason we didn't make any shots, but we had some roll off.

We can't come out flat like we did tonight, we have to play two strong halves. Wylie is a young team with a lot of sophomores, but they played hard. Mineral Wells is a little bit of a lesser opponent, but we can't expect them to just roll over for us.

When it comes to cooking pasta, the first essential is to make sure you have a big enough pot: it needs room to roll in the water while cooking.

We can roll up on what could be the most mundane situation and now we look at it and say, 'Could it be something else?' It's a matter of going down the street and looking at things like why is this vehicle here and should it be here? The whole thought process has been modified.

We can't be focusing on who we have out there or not. We've just got to go out there and play hard and be aggressive. If we have one or two guys that are out, we've got to roll up our sleeves and go to work.

We're all big Roxy fans and always have been, ... They were rock 'n' roll avant garde and sounded like nothing anyone had ever heard before, but also perfect pop music as well.

We don't even roll the balls out for tryouts.

We were 5-0, but we never thought we'd roll through the league undefeated. Thursday's game (at East Davidson) is just as big as this one.

We went with a little different starting lineup and we were a little out of rhythm to start. We are usually a pretty quick-starting team. Once we got on a roll with our transition game the defense picked up a little bit, too. Everybody has a little more fun when the ball starts going in the basket.

We're also having general flooding (on roads) because the water has nowhere else to go. If it continues and we get more damage, we'll roll into a (double) 12-hour shift like we do for snow removal.

We got Carolina already, and now we got Arizona. We can get on a roll now and take this the rest of the way.

We don't have a blueprint that we roll out each time we play them, ... Each time we play them, we're getting more and more of an idea. But in nine years, we haven't shown that we're successful at (beating the Kangaroos) whereas we have a 50-50 record or better with every other club.

We played them close in Boise, but we've got to play a good game, as always. No one is going to roll over for you in conference.

We played pretty well defensively. Sarah Wilson handled nine chances flawlessly they just got on a bit of a roll in the middle innings.

Well, we got the 'W.' But you could see us look like the Titanic sinking, ready to roll over there. We got steals and hit enough free throws to pull it out. It wasn't pretty, we realize that. The good thing is we won, but I'm not sure it feels like a 'W' right now because we were struggling so badly.

We believe these are reasonable protections for women's health. This is not an effort to roll back and repeal the FDA approval. We believe safety concerns were compromised.

We will roll this out across our product portfolio and certainly, by the end of this decade, we will be in a position to ship more than 75 million devices enabled with DVB-H.

We will roll this out across our product portfolio and, certainly, by the end of this decade we will be in a position to ship more than 75 million devices enabled with DVB-H,

We wanted to make sure we could at least show New .Jersey that we had some depth on our PK. You roll the dice in those kinds of situations. He went beyond what I expected, but it shows he's a competitive person. I have no regrets on it. It's a decision I'll live with, though.

We wanted to make an album that sounds like our band, and not a heady, self-conscious studio project. Everyone tells us rock and roll is a shadow of itself--a sad old milk cow smiling at the farmer every morning. We still see a bucking bull smashing around the stable.

We've gotten on a good roll here. Twenty wins is 20 wins. I think we're the best team in Kentucky. I'd definitely be upset if we don't make the (NCAA) Tournament.

We've got quality pitchers. When you have that and you have our offense, that's a good combination. ... Once we get on a roll and get clicking - we're doing well now, but I think it's only going to get better.

We're working hard to use our network advantages to build strong customer relationships. We'll continue to aggressively roll out telephone service to make the three-product bundle available in a majority of our footprint, and we're on track to offer telephone service to between six million and eight million homes by year end.

We're very pleased with that number, particularly in light of how well 'Bringing Down the House' is doing. We're off to a really good start. It's the beginning of spring break and the school holidays roll across the country over the next four weeks, roughly at 20 percent different areas a week.

We can't go to Monmouth and think we're going to roll over them. But if we go into every game ready like we were today, we'll play our best. I hope Monmouth brings out the best in us.

We have to win the tough ones to win the dual. Our guys did a good job. You have to get on a roll to get the crowd out of it and get some momentum.

We just didn't get the runs we needed this weekend. We've just got to roll with it.

Well, one doesn't try to hold Cass and Denny and Michelle together. It's a useless task to start with. You just sort of stay out of the way and let things roll as they can.

Year after year they roll out ad campaigns that attempt to demonize marijuana. They consider it the number one drug threat in America. That always struck us as bizarre.

When I received the platinum record for 'Coyote Ugly,' I sent it to James because if it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened, ... So I gave him my first one and said, 'Hey, this was for you and I and what we did.' It was just wonderful. It's exciting to see your names as the credits roll by because you're from El Paso and you never think you're going to accomplish so much. I lived in New York for years, and I still had that mentality.

We needed this win. It's a big win for us, it really boosts our confidence. We are on a roll now.

We need to take this momentum and roll it over like cell-phone minutes next season.

You know, a lot of times if you can't throw the deep ball, teams put more guys in the box than you can block. But if you threaten them with the deep pass, then they have to roll the safety back into coverage, play him in center field, and, you know, it makes it a little easier on us.
