When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind. I don't remember how old she was at the time, but she just had this edgy hour that had so much funny stuff in it, and she was so fearless.

When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.

Roger Hansen

When I was over there, I was quite surprised with how fast they adjusted because of their flexibility and their feet. I never saw a kid in pro ball with bad feet or bad hands. If you've got that, you can adjust from there.

When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.

were so far away they had no idea of the impact we were making. They saw the music as local music that would never break out.

Mark Waters

Usually, like, on 'Mean Girls,' the task that Tina Fey and I set for ourselves was we wanted to maintain a comic intensity throughout the movie, where people just don't really get a break from laughing. And if they do, it's for a brief emotional scene, and then we're going to once again try to knock them on their heels again with comedy.

Brandy Norwood

I can't believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can't believe I set foot on the same stage, and it's going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it's going to be a video.

Sheryl Swoopes

Nicole's an incredible player, ... I don't really think it surprised us that she hit it. She was actually behind the NBA 3-point line, and Tina (Thompson) was out there, had her hand up.

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.

I did have a falsetto, but I only used it when I was joking around with friends or to annoy my girlfriends, or in the shower, because no one else was around. Or in college. I'd go to karaoke bars and sing Tina Turner songs in the original key.

Michele Williams

Such a wonderful, wonderful time in our lives. I know as I'm sitting here, as I'm standing here, as Ms. Tina said, 'All Destiny's Child wanted was to go gold.' Then Kelly saying, 'Walking down the Hollywood walk of fame, saying we want the star.' Honestly this just goes to show all you have to do is say it. Say it in the air. Tell God what it is that he wants, and he gives it to you. So that is just amazing. If it's in his will, he does.

Van Chancellor

I thought Tina Thompson played her best all year. So two great players played but it was a total team victory. I would have never thought that we could limit them to less than 60 points. I'm just really pleased.

Katie Smith

I think we decided to be a little more aggressive. Obviously we also picked it up defensively, but we needed to go ahead and get some good looks and knock them down. For myself it's just a matter of not just sliding into the background, but stepping up and making shots, knocking them down. That got us going a little bit. Tina (Thompson) started hitting a few too. I hit a couple, she hit a couple and it gave us a little cushion that helped us down the stretch. We didn't have to sweat it out too much.

Sarah Shahi

When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy - guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it's all about how I feel internally.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Brandy Norwood

I can't believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can't believe I set foot on the same stage, and it's going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it's going to be a video.

Jane Fonda

Shortly after I turned 50, both Ted Turner and the AARP came into my life. The only difference? With AARP, there were benefits.

Ron Averill

When we started the 125-pound weight class, I think we were down 24 points and Turner still had five wrestlers. The key wins were the ones when we were head-to-head with Turner. When you look at the end of the day, all the matches throughout the day worked into the final outcome. I take that, and I appreciate that, but the way the team played for the championship was really good.

Don Turner

I got on this bus because I wanted people like Steve Shaffer and Don Turner to experience this,

Geno Auriemma

Having a senior athletic enough that she can play inside and outside and can move some of their players away from the basket, not having that allowed them to pack it in. It made it difficult for us to get anything going, but at the same time, Pitt's defense and how physical they were had more to do with it than Turner not playing.

Lou Dobbs

I am grateful to Ted Turner and Tom Johnson for the opportunity to have helped build CNN into a first-class television news institution.

John Lloyd Young

I did have a falsetto, but I only used it when I was joking around with friends or to annoy my girlfriends, or in the shower, because no one else was around. Or in college. I'd go to karaoke bars and sing Tina Turner songs in the original key.

Jane Fonda

I thank God and I thank Ted Turner (her estranged husband) everyday that I don't have to make movies.

Michael Wadleigh

I was with Tina Turner when she first saw Janis Joplin, and she said to Janis, 'Honey, you can't continue to sing like that, or you'll have no voice,' and Janis' response was just to laugh and take a swig on her Southern Comfort.
