Ashley Quotations

I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Once I was married, I didn't want to be a failure, so I stuck it out for six months, which was about six months too long.

I filmed an interstitial with Allisyn Ashley Arm and Matthew Scott Montgomery one day. And we made up this weird thing 'cause we had to lay in the grass for, like, ten hours, and it was really itchy. So we call ourselves The Grass Gang.

Obviously, when you walk into a room and see people like Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman and Charles Martin Smith behind the camera, it's big time. You just try not to think about it, try and keep up, hold on for the ride.

We're real even matched teams. That one could have went either way. There were just so many turning points. Obviously, the key was Ashley knocking down some key free throws at the end of the game.

Whenever we get into penalty trouble we're calling on Ashley and Jessica all the time. They're excellent on the penalty kill.

We have Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie and beyond that there are some question marks for the third, fourth and fifth spots, ... The obvious ones are Darius Watts and we all know what he can do and Jerry Rice, who we know what he's done throughout his career.

When it was crunch time, Ashley gave us the clutch saves.

We need Ashley to win 15-to-20 games this season for us to be successful. That puts a lot of responsibility on her and our other pitchers, but she's got the size, the strength, and she's an athlete.

She's very steady and can hit the ball hard. But the most important thing about Ashley is that she just hates to lose.

She's tremendous up there. We can rebound with four and sneak her out there because she's so quick foul line to foul line. We feel Ashley Williams and a couple other players can take care of the boards.

She's having probably her best year ever at Arizona State. Ashley is a big reason why we've been so successful.

She's a competitor. She's got the heart of a lion. If I'm going into a skirmish, I want Ashley on my side.

One school of thought would be to put it in Ashley where he (McGowan) was born.

Phenomenal. Ashley gets in a zone out there. She gets focused and if (the umpire) is going to give her the corners, which is the way it should be, it really makes her tough to hit.

Nicky has had a good season and Amato is playing important minutes. Brunet scores points for us and defensively gets the assignment of the opponent's best player. There have been times when Ashley has been unstoppable in the low post.

I grew up with a lot of people who are famous now. I was friends with Hilary and Haley Duff. They are such lovely girls. I have watched their careers blossom, which I am really happy for. I grew up with Ashley Tisdale; we used to both live in Valencia, so we used to hang out back in the day.

I did this one movie with a great director named Wayne Kramer. It was 'Crossing Over,' and Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta were in it. I was one of the leads, and I thought this was it. It got shelved for two years, and then it was in theaters maybe a week. After that, I adopted a philosophy of, 'Hope for the best, expect the worst.'

Ian Blackwell has been placed on standby to join the Test squad if Ashley fails to recover from his injury in time prior to the tour.

I can't remember a meet with so many strong performances. Ashley looked strong and confident throughout the race.

(Friday), she threw her fastball very well inside. So she went outside early. They adjusted and got tight on the plate. But as they adjusted, Ashley adjusted also.

We're pretty excited. The first thing we said when she got in the locker room, we called her a little cherry-picker. You know, Ashley is very offensive-minded for a defensive player. She got the job done.

(Hayes) found that middle open, so she just shot the ball. If you're going to guard Teresa (one-on-one), you're going to let someone else go. They just let Ashley shoot, and if you leave her open, she going to hit those.

Having a healthy Ashley Larkin is going to be a huge boost for us.

Katie on a stress fracture gives us 14 minutes and basically had to take herself out of the game. Ashley hasn't practiced but came back and gave us everything she had. But we're just really limited.

I think it just took Ashley a little while to find the flow. But when she found it, every thing worked out very well.

I thought Ashley passed the ball really well. He didn't shoot the ball as well as he normally does, but I thought he passed really well.

I thought the first five minutes of the second half were key. Nick shot the ball very well. But I also thought the third five minutes of the first half were key as well. Ashley (Thomas) really got things going for us. It makes things easier when you have two big guys running the floor and a guy to get the ball to them.

I think Ashley was probably the only one who played up to her capabilities. She played great D (defense) and kept us in the game. She had played well last weekend so I was close to putting her back in the position. I probably should have done it earlier. She'll be in that position tomorrow (tonight).

It is obviously disappointing to lose Ashley Giles, our most experienced spin bowler. At the same time, it is a great opportunity for the three guys here.

I saw Sven-Goran Eriksson when he came to the training ground last week and he spoke to myself and Ashley Cole. He knows I am fine and all I need now is a couple of games under my belt.

Our team played well in both matches. We possessed the ball well and Ashley (Foster) provided us with some firepower up front. You can see that our players are learning while gaining both experience and confidence in these games.

Overall, I thought we pitched well. We gave up a few runs, but the freshmen were composed and threw well. Ashley looked the part of a seasoned veteran and Dorn looked very good.

Our ability to score (hurts), if Ashley comes in and knocks down one or two, or Lina too. We just need more options, the more options you have, the better your chances are.

That bomb they hit may have hurt them more than it helped them. Ashley just takes things like that personally. When she gave up the home run, you just knew she was going to come back and do whatever she could to help the team.

My time at Pop has been a transformative experience that I am extremely proud of. It has afforded me the chance to collaborate with some of the greatest creative minds in the world, and I'm thankful to Ashley Heath and Bauer Media for the opportunity.

My reaction to Ashley right now is that he's under contract and we fully expect Ashley to be back.

Maria and Ashley Robinson clogged up the middle, coming up with some huge blocks down the stretch.

I was extremely impressed with all the players today. Juliano and Travis were outstanding for the boys and Ashley played a terrific match for the girls.

I think Paul is up there with Ashley Cole, and Ashley Cole is a terrific player,

I think last year's team was bigger and more powerful ? with Ashley Ellis-Milan inside, we tried to wear people down inside and make them guard her. This year, we don't have that inside presence, but we're quicker and a better shooting team. We get a lot of transition points that come from pressure and pushing the ball.

Melissa did a good job, and Ashley threw strikes. 'Both showed a lot of control. If you have good pitching, it will probably be a tight game.

That was a huge win for us against a real quality team. Ashley pitched a very good game and Jocelyn (Medina) came up with the big hit.

That was a great race (200 backstroke) for Helen, and Ashley had a great meet for us. Those two are a huge reason why we're in the position that we're in. Their leadership and how they act and their drive have really helped up us.

That stretch was critical, because I thought we had played great but just couldn't make a shot. When you have Tiffany Rodd and Ashley Fann open for threes as many times as they were, you're just waiting for the scoreboard to light up like a pinball machine. But the shots weren't falling.

I was born here and I was raised here in Los Angeles. And when I was five years old, my best friends were Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen because we lived across the street from each other.

Merritt and Ashley really got us going in the second half.

Who else would you want in that situation besides Ashley Kelly? Ashley was illuminating in every way.

While Ashley is a quality shortstop, she can also play second, third and even first if needed. That is the kind of softball player you want on your team. She is also a first class student and person as well.

We had a lot of last-minute planning to do, a lot of things. But her mom did a lot with the wedding and Ashley did a lot, too.

You know, Ashley doesn't have a whole lot going on in her life, so she'd probably been romanticizing Madeleine for weeks, when she found out she was coming. So when she shows up and exceeds Ashley's expectations in beauty, sophistication and intelligence, she can do no wrong.

Well, I think the cell phone calls, the letters that he wrote in jail, those were pretty damaging. Ashley Humphrey's testimony, the jury bought into that and didn't buy into his.

When I got out and I was sat up in the dressing-room I didn't know what to do with myself. I was really sick at one stage ... and I got quite emotional at the end when Ashley knocked the winning runs off. I never thought we'd lost it because the partnerships we needed were very small, but there's always that devil on your shoulder just chipping away at you. It was a massive release when we got over the line.

When Ashley speaks, people listen. She's not a 'rah-rah.' She's not going to be a person that's going to be out of control. She is very balanced and a quiet leader, yet she does speak when needed. She's done a great job of rallying the troops.

We had some key offensive series there. We had the one pick and roll we were able to score off of. Anytime you have a little bit of a lead, you have the advantage because eventually they're going to have to foul. Ashley (Ahrens, junior point guard) did a nice job of setting up the offense and taking control. She got us all on the same page.

When you have two like that, sometimes teams have one good defensive player that they can put on one of them, but it's hard to stop them both. Ashley Williams has been tremendous.

There are lots of people I'd like to work with. It would be fun to be in a movie with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.

We had some players step up. Ashley Meeks played tremendous defense and she carried us through this match.

Two guards I always looked up to were Ashley Nagel and Cari Twaddle. That's how I always wanted to play, and how I wanted people to remember me.

Both teams are competing at a much higher level this year. Ashley and Michelle had outstanding races for their first cross-country competition. Josh's time and second-place finish set the bar high in his first outing.

We've had our clunks and our bumps, but I've never been in a situation where someone had to be physically removed from the arena. It's a tough situation. Our primary concern is Ashley and if she's going to be OK.

Tonight her defense was still pretty special. Tonight she also had to take on offense, she had to handle the ball a lot against the press. We had a lot of inexperience out there, and Ashley had to go back and control some of that.

Those (Ripon) girls play exceptionally well. With (Krista) Jones still out and Ashley Brady with the flu, it was tough. But my girls ran hard; they played hard. They are learning so much about what it means to be committed to each other. I couldn't be happier with my girls.

What's amazing is that Ashley has only been diving for two years. It usually takes a lot longer to develop a national champion. And she was diving against 14- and 15-year-olds at the AAU Nationals.

What Ashley did wasn't only a momentum changer. It was more than that, considering what teams normally expect out of that spot in the order.

We tried to get a quick score. Ashley Powell thought she could take it all the way and she got a charge. Then we put the other freshman guard in (to replace Owens) and she threw the ball away. It was not from lack of effort, it was just lack of experience.

We talked about going down and getting a good possession. We knew if we got the ball we had to come down and capitalize quickly. It was a set screen and roll off. It was a good shot. I trust Ashley and all my teammates.

We miss Ashley really badly... we know what he can add to the team when he comes back.

Vicki and Ashley right now have been playing with the most consistency. They have done a lot of the little things right and are playing pretty well.

We had phenomenal pitching, and when you can take their offense and shut it down like Ashley did, that was awesome.

Brandon says a lot of things. He also said Ashley Judd was looking at him at the Kentucky game.

Everybody gears toward stopping No. 22 and with everybody focused on Shelly Paige, it lets our other post player pick up the slack. Ashley did a good job tonight.

At this point, our main concern is to make sure Ashley is all right. She was moving her hands and feet and she was coherent when she left. (The paramedics) took a precautionary measure to eliminate any potential injury to her neck and upper back.

Courtney Salmon and Ashley Keller are at No. 3 and No. 4. These two girls are really at the top of their games.

Courtney comes through, Ashley always comes through. They just get it done.

Ever since Lauren Bradshaw left a couple of years ago, we have struggled with the shortstop position. Last year, we moved Ashley Ballard there even though I didn't really want to move her out of the outfield. We have to find someone who can play that position because the middle of the defense is so important.

The thing that helps with (Taylor) is that she's played AAU ball, so she's not one of those raw freshmen coming in. She's 6-foot and athletic and she's learned to block shots well. She's had to be rushed into the flow, but she's what we lacked last year when we had to put (5-8 senior) Ashley Hood in the post.

I've always been a natural artist. I've always had a passion for art. And I've never actually worked with a charity before, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity, being that Ashley is also a natural artist, and her wish is to have an art studio.

Our depth was the difference in the game. They won the game for us. Ashley Steele played great off the bench.

Ashley has a really calming effect on the team. She's been a huge part of our success this season. Tonight was the perfect example of that.

Ashley has always offered us the balance which is required of a Test side.

Ashley has a basketball IQ off the chart. The last two years she has sacrificed some of her numbers for the good of the team.

Ashley had two really big wins to close out the tournament strong. Her play was definitely the highlight of the state tournament for us. In her first match, she was actually behind 2-5 and she came back to win. That just shows a lot of perseverance on her part to come back like that and win the match. Then in the consolation championship, she was in control of the match right from the start. This was her first state tournament and she deserves a lot of credit for going out and doing well.

Ashley had a great game - again. She's been like a rock down on defense.

Ashley (Earhart) has a lot of good skills and she did a nice job coming in.

Ashley does so much for us, points from her are a bonus. That's not a knock against her; she's very versatile. She had some big baskets early that helped settle us down.

Ashley didn't have her best stuff, but she pitched well enough to win.

Ashley did just what a senior pitcher needs to do in a pressure situation. We needed one out and she came in and gave it to us.

Ashley did a nice job in the second game. She got in trouble a couple of times, but she responded well. The double play was big to get her out of the inning.

Ashley did a lot of real good things today. She threw her change-ups really well, and they were good pitches. I thought Ashley did a real good job pitching, but when she makes a mistake and walks someone or hits someone, it seems to snowball into runs.

Ashley did a great job today. She kept the ball where it had to be. Ashley didn't get down on herself, she just played. She did a good job and got a lot of support from the people behind her. Another thing is Ashley didn't get mad at me.

Ashley decided that before Madeleine even got there that she is the best person ever,

Ashley Dearth (1-2) came in and pitched a good game. She struck out 12, but they just started hitting her a little bit late in the game.

Ashley creates her own shots and sees the floor really well. She gets herself open and finds the good look.

Ashley called us during the season and let us know that there was another great player in the state of Mississippi. The two of them took their official visits, and there's been a lot of talk about what 'we' were going to do at Arkansas among the recruits.

Ashley brought her all-around game to the gym every night. There really isn't any part of the game that she can't do, and her ability to shoot the three really helped us open up our offense. On the defensive side, she is just a very, very hard worker and that work ethic rubs off on the other players.

Ashley brings National Team potential. She has tremendous skill with the ball, great variety and range in distribution and a comprehensive vision of the field. We anticipate her to have an immediate impact in our midfield.

Ashley Baker is our defensive specialist. That's what she did for us last year, and now her shot is coming along too.

Ashley and Tiny have competed against college divers and just missed qualifying for the U.S. Senior team, ... They are already close to being at a high level.

Ashley and Mary-Kate have grown up to become America's young style icons. They have an amazing sense of fashion and individuality that intrigued us.

Ashley and Maggie (Gibson) get a lot of the ink and the publicity, but there are other people that have performed well in the playoffs and all season for us. You're not going to win in the tournament with two or three good players. You need to have more players and you need to have a bench if you want to advance.
