Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rob Lowe

One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it.

Ornette Coleman is a real musician. He takes all of the things he's thinking about in the world - which is a whole universe upon universe - and translates this into music.

Coleman had a great night and I'm so happy for him. He looked comfortable out there.

Roy H. Williams

Coleman Collins is one of my favorite players in the league. I think we feel very fortunate to get only five shots out of him tonight.

Stephanie Jones

We're a small community. Everybody knows each other here. Everybody would love to see it put to rest. I think it will be good (for the Davis family) to have some kind of closure.

Glenn Davis was my hero. I think that Carlton, when he has time to get over the excitement of this victory, will be able to look at what he has done as an unbelievable accomplishment.

It would not be hard to come up with the projects to equal the $500,000. An estimate for the Dexter Plaza from a few years back was $150,000. In addition, the train station could easily reach $200,000, just in soft funds alone.

Like every football team, NFL or arena, you want to start out with a win. It puts everyone in a good frame of mind. It kind of shows you where you're at early in the season.

Mike Bauer

Luke Harman did a great job of finding Davin and Sam early and that really opened things up inside for Maurice and Casey.

Ian Laperriere

He's always been a great goalie. It's just that he played in the shadow of Eddie Belfour when he was in Dallas. I know guys that have had tough times in the playoffs. They like to rebound and show the world they are playoff players. He is a more mature goalie now.
