Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie.

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Laurie Markatos

Mary Pat pitched one heck of a game. She was out there humming the ball, hitting her spots and hitting the corners. Our defense just had a little mental lapse there in the second inning.

It is one of my faults, that though my tongue is sometimes prompt enough at an answer, there are times when it sadly fails me in framing an excuse; and always the lapse occurs at some crisis, when a facile word or plausible pretext is specially wanted to get me out of painful embarrassment.

Tim Henman

I got a break out of nothing, then the first game of the second set it was a lapse in concentration more than anything.

At Olduvai, for 20 years, Mary and I had investigated and made a general survey of the overall geology.

Carter Canada

The point is, am I going to let Mary Smith and these other nice, older women be sent out of here thinking they'll have a voucher for the rest of their lives, when Congress is looking to cut the program? They're going to be in Miami somewhere, and they'll be homeless. That's why the fight is going on.

Anna Burger

We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care.

Mike Farrell

There are certain states -- Maryland has become one this year, North Carolina has been one and New Jersey has been one -- where there's no real home-school advantage. Guys can just come in here and cherry-pick who they want.

Nick Saban

We're modern-day gladiators, that mental toughness, if you will, is really important to have in a good team. It's got to permeate your team and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.

J. J. Johnson

We've always been told that there's nothing we can do. We're told that the patients are the ones who need to complain.

Pat Ambrose

When we were patient on offense and got a good shot, we did well. When we played too fast and didn't get a good shot, we let Zion back into the game. Benny did a real nice job for us. He wanted to win.

John Cohen

Tomorrow, we'll get a big hug going, and we'll talk about past times, and then the first pitch will be thrown, and he won't see John Cohen, he'll see the enemy. I won't see Pat McMahon, I'll see a team that we're trying to beat. That happens a lot in this league.

Bruce Martin

We respond once we have had a call. We will usually dispatch officers to the scene and look for any suspects. We will make sure that the person that called is all right.

We would heighten our patrol in that area whether it be by car or by foot and that is what we have done is this past particular instance.

Ignacio Bunye

Sam Taylor-Johnson

Courtney Barnett

When I was on the road with Billy Bragg, it was cool because I was doing the whole thing solo and travel a lot by myself, which I quite like. I mean, I love being with friends, but it's kind of nice having that alone time.

Pat Robertson

We're getting tons of calls from people not quite knowing what to do,

Joe Balogh

We've always said that you can't win the league in the first round of the season but you can lose it. I think that is the great part of playing in the NCC.

John M. Smith

When we were making that run at the end, you could feel it. You can't really describe it, but you know there's so many people who want your season to keep going. It's an inspiration. You want to play for yourself, but you want to play for them, too.

Dave Klingel

When we were at the drawing for the tournament seeds last week, we were praying that we wouldn't have to face Meade. We didn't play well against them during the season and we knew they would be a tough team to face early in the tournament.

Scott Downs

We're missing five starters. We need them back, but we're winning games now with guys I didn't expect to get much playing time this season and that's good for our depth later in the season.

Dave Hohenthal

We're midway through the season now and I think the girls are starting to progress. We've got a lot more work to do, but I think that we're going in the right direction.

Jeff Mitchell

We remember what they did to us last season. It's the season opener against a division opponent that knocked us out of the playoffs, and with what has happened to New Orleans recently, you know they are going to come in here ready to play. We shouldn't have any problem getting up for them.

Mike Sponseller

We've always been second in Rochester behind Nazareth in lacrosse, but I think we've proven we can play with them.

John Hoch

When we were up seven at halftime, coach told us to keep playing our game. We knew we had to keep rolling and in the second half we just shot lights out.

Kelly Leonard

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Cedric Redmond

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Mike Mastroianni

When we were down 11 at halftime, I wasn't happy; but I thought we still had a shot. We took them out of their rhythm in the second half and that was the difference.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

H. Judd

We're going to put those new deputies in the hot spots to ensure that we can keep crime down and answer calls for service.

Carroll McCray

We're going to evaluate whether we moved the right guys. We're not opposed to moving any more. But with the two moves last week, and now with Brandon this week, everybody else should stay in their spots pretty much between now and next Tuesday." ()

Katie Featherston

What I really want to do is comedy. I would love to do some guest star spots on some single-camera comedies.

Kevin McHale

We're extremely excited to have acquired Marko, ... He is a very versatile player who has the ability to play the one, two or three spots on the floor. With Marko, we've added another player who can break down the defense and is a pass first point guard. Lionel is a player that we think has some upside and will compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Jim Leonard

We're hoping this will clear up most of the problems. The distance to the existing tower is too far. We've got a lot of radio dead spots that this should fix.

Dave Bosso

We're not as disciplined on either offense or defense as I think we should be. In key spots against good teams, that hurts us.

Alan Jay Lerner

Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.

Paul Woods

The potential is there and with a bit of luck we could finish in the top four. There are two or three programs that are traditionally strong and the final one or two spots are usually up for grabs.
