Barry Quotations

Barry and I were in the middle of building a house, and I was in the midst of having a nervous breakdown, because that's what you do when you build a house.

Batman and the Flash have a whole lot in common behind the mask. They've both experienced loss, know forensic science, and are both a bit introverted. In 'Flashpoint,' Thomas Wayne thinks Barry is crazy, but Barry thinks Thomas is crazy. It'll be really fun seeing those two trying to figure things out.

Every decade, we get a stunning collection of dynamic, heartbreaking short stories. In the past, those collections came from Barry Hannah, Mark Richard, and Thom Jones.

My voice is rather quirky. It's abysmally low. People often think I'm putting it on at first. Think drunk Darth Vader. Or Barry White singing country. It suits my dark material. When I do readings, I really play it up and go subterranean. I can make the phone book sound terrifying.

I get tips from Bob Gaudio. And one of my songs somehow caught the attention of one of my idols, Marty Panzer, who wrote big hits for Barry Manilow. So two guys who inspired me to write lyrics are now teaching me to write.

In the beginning, Barry and I couldn't decide if we were going got go forward with the name of the Bee Gees or just as Barry and Robin. Now we've decided to continue as the Bee Gees because we feel we can, and Maurice would have wanted it.

Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Curtis Mayfield are big influences for me. But I'm also a metal head. I was in a bunch of punk rock bands. The Bee Gees, hip-hop and the Beach Boys are just as much of an influence on me as Smokey.

We were ready to launch Barry White, but the record company wouldn't put it out. Said it wouldn't sell.

Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.

I've seen few things more depressing than the end-of-season Giants-Padres series in 2001 in which Barry Bonds hit his 68th homer of the year while a .227-hitting, rapidly fossilizing Rickey Henderson staggered like a delirious marathoner toward 3,000 hits.

For more than two decades, Barry Diller has been among the most respected - and feared - figures in the entertainment industry.

When I'm done playing basketball, I want do something bigger. I'm working on my doctorate right now at Barry University in Florida.

There is no question that Jim Francis is the right man for the job because he will be able to step in on day one and be ready to help us with the many challenges facing our community. Jim has worked closely with Barry Feldman over the past 20 years and has a proven financial management record and an excellent working relationship with the financial community.

We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.

We're gathering headlines, video, audio and lining up interviews. I told Barry that with these allegations and the general negativity in the media, I had to show both sides. I have to, or else I should go home.

We're not against Barry Bonds as an individual. We're against what he stands for. ... There was no way before the steroid allegations I would have booed him. When Barry Bonds was skinny and he was stealing bases, he was an amazing player to watch.

With the same three injuries to Wayne Allison, Shane Nicholson and Barry Roche, it means it's the same side as last time. They'll be given the chance to redeem themselves and rectify things and I'm sure they'll be hungry to do so.

With what Barry Bonds might accomplish this year, I think (the steroid allegations) taint it a little bit. How many would he have really hit now? It's not going to improve his hand-eye coordination, but would the baseball have gone that far if he wouldn't have been using steroids?

We were at a crossroads, and Barry and I decided we wanted to put more money in, and Glenn looked at the situation and didn't want to lose more money. You have to realize, as the majority owner, Glenn was taking the majority of the losses.

We're playing for a championship, and Barry is a huge part of that, but he's (only) one part. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, but you can't catch yourself being a spectator. I don't think that will be a problem.

When your confidence is down the last thing you want to do is scream at the players too much. But we were playing tentative and (associate head coach) Barry Smith and I had to get on them a little bit. We were on our heels, and championship teams play on their toes, not on their heels.

There are only a few bumps and bruises now. I am optimistic Barry will play and there is no problem with Steven Pressley.

There are only a few bumps and bruises now, ... I am optimistic Barry will play and there is no problem with Steven Pressley.

Since Barry came back, it's really made this team a lot better. It's a whole different game. Hopefully we can keep playing the way are playing, and I think we will.

Most teams know Barry didn't play a lot in spring training. They want to find out how he's swinging the bat. The only way to do that is to pitch to him.

Mired in a batting slump, Bonds sat in the locker room and complained about his uncharacteristic struggle to get his offense going. I can't put my finger on the problem, said Barry aloud. I'm struggling. Can't buy a hit. Bonds then looked up and noticed a chronically poor-hitting teammate nearby. Bonds turned to him and said something like - you must feel like this all the time.

My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no one was around I'd kiss the screen.

Obviously yes. I experienced this exact same thing in 1997 with Barry Switzer.

Oddly enough, there hasn't been a lot of commentary one way or the other about Barry among us. I don't know if that means the guys are indifferent or just tired of it all. In general, I just think everyone is going to be very relieved when the page is turned.

Of course everything Barry Bonds says gets multiplied and is huge. People tend to talk about every thing and every comment he makes. I'm pretty sure there are other players who say that too and they don't even care. 'You are? OK, good luck.' But he's Barry Bonds.

Of course everything Barry Bonds says gets multiplied and is huge.

No one believed that Wisconsin's program could be restored to great eminence, ... Barry did it with class and energy and skill.

My dream is to be able to make something in Baltimore that's just there. Make a movie or make a show there. I only left because there wasn't any opportunity except being an extra in Barry Levinson or John Waters movies.

Mo's really not getting many pitches to hit. He doesn't have the patience of Barry Bonds .

Mo's really not getting many pitches to hit, ... He doesn't have the patience of Barry Bonds.

Obviously Barry is being the target of it because of the home run chase.

Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.

Nixon should get his ass out of the White House-Today! Barry M

One of my favorite tunes we cover is by Barry Cowsill, an artist I recently got into. He was a New Orleans native and recently passed away from hurricane Katrina.

I would prefer to play a tough man-to-man. But Barry has struggled against the zone.

I'd like to see them do a really in-depth look at Barry Bonds just from everything you read and everything you hear. I'd really like to see what they're going to do about him. Me personally, if he does it, I think they should use him as an example.

I don't know where that rumor got started. When Barry said he was out, we shifted gears.

I don't believe it will affect this veteran team. The main guy is Barry and if he does his thing with the bat and is not affected by it, I don't think we'll be.

Baseball has individual stars, as does music, and we already handle the individual sites for (baseball stars) Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Derek Jeter.

Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.

Barry was really good, and he was good yesterday. He's been really focused. We knew he's had the talent all year. He showed some spurts midway through the season, and late in the season, he's giving us good minutes. He has the talent, and now he's figuring out what to do with it.

Barry was not at his best that day and he knows it. Like I said the other day, he's one of the major reasons we're in a 2-2 series now. People shouldn't forget he played very well in the first three games. We expect him to bounce back in a positive way and (tonight) I'm giving him an opportunity to redeem himself.

Barry was my childhood hero growing up, and what he's going through I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But as far as this being race-related? I totally disagree. If Big Mac (Mark McGwire) was playing, he'd be in the same boat. This is a case where if there is a beast, you chop the beast's head off. That happens to be Barry. I think we all want to see the end of the story. I want the right information.

Barry was a dear friend, a valued partner for many years and a decent, genuine person. What a great baseball fan he was. I'll miss him dearly.

Barry played three games in eight days and is now in a bit of discomfort. But it's nothing too serious and I'd expect him to be in his usual place for the game on Saturday.

Barry played in the outfield during practice today and looked pretty good. Barry is having fun again. He didn't have any fun last year because he was hurt.

Barry needs his at-bats. We've got to get him going.

Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote a lot of stuff for Phil Spector... we had done all rock and roll and rhythm and blues. I mean, we liked ballads and I suppose we did them OK, but that wasn't where we were emotionally and musically coming from.

Barry kept his hands back. That's why he's the second-best hitter in the game, behind me.

Barry just wants to see live pitching from a right-hander.

Barry is struggling with a bad ankle injury and that will be a huge blow for us,

Barry is going to join up with the squad and I hope he's all right for Walter Smith's sake and for the Scottish national team.

Barry is going to be under constant scrutiny. For the last 15 to 20 years, he's been the face of baseball.

Barry is Barry -- you have to respect him as a great hitter. I'm not sure what to expect. I'll be watching him to see how he looks, and I'll try to call the right pitches, the way I always do.

Barry is a Scotland player. He is part of our team. So, when he is available, he is picked. It's as simple as that.

Barry is a highly regarded regulator and is widely respected among the financial services, business and regulatory communities. His experience in handling sophisticated securities enforcement matters and expertise in brokerage firm operations will be invaluable. We are delighted to add such a distinguished lawyer with deep senior-level regulatory and litigation experience to the securities group.

Barry has stepped up his training and will be available from a week tomorrow.

Barry has shown significant improvement with every game he has played this year with Munster. His call-up to the national squad is due reward for his performances to date.

Barry hasn't been convicted of anything; it's unfair at this point, ... The sport is having a great year. Has Barry's absence helped or hurt? I don't know, I really don't know.

Barry has been very important to our success over the years. Whether it was a director of basketball operations or as our associate head coach, he was a vital part to our program's rise to elite status in the Big East and nationally.

Barry has been good for the game. However you create interest in our game and bring fans to the ballpark, that's a good thing.

Barry has an impeccable track record as a leader who understands what's best for the fans and consistently delivered a fantastic game-night product in Townsville.

Barry has a history of being generous to the Hall of Fame. Though he hasn't donated anything from home run No. 700, we have numerous artifacts already in Cooperstown from his career.

Barry got two at-bats and saw some pitches. It's not enough, but it's better than nothing.

Barry Goldwater and the Grand Canyon stand together; both unique, both monumental, both among the very best of God's creation. And I believe Barry Morris Goldwater will be remembered as long as each morning the sun continues to rise over the Grand Canyon,

Barry Ferguson and Ian Murray were then pushing on from midfield and we thought at 2-2 with eleven against eleven there was only going to be one winner. But sadly we will never know.

Barry came back and really makes this whole team a lot better. It's a whole different game.

Barry Axelrod has told us Jeff will be there and we'll welcome him and give him every opportunity. We have a rehabilitation program, and that's what we'll start on (today) when he gets here.

I look forward to playing the Giants because of Barry Bonds. There is an added atmosphere in those games.

I have a lot of respect for Barry and what he does. I wish something like this didn't come up.

I found out that it's a lot easier to manage when Barry Bonds is in the lineup every day.

Given the fact that Barry didn't play practically the entire season last year, we'd like to see him here early. But we can't bring a guy here by force before the first of March.

For what he does for that team, I don't see another one out there that's better. He's the closest thing I've seen to Barry Sanders. He's just that good. He does everything. We've got to always be aware of where he's at - at all times. You've got to concentrate on stopping the run first and go from there.

I got excited when I faced Barry Bonds -- that was the first time I ever faced him. He is a great hitter; he is quick. I threw him some good pitches and he fouled them off.

I always thought Barry was a corruption of Barty from Bartholomew.

I always idolized guys like Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Steve Young and the entire 49ers team, really. I was a huge 49ers fan growing up.

He tells us a lot of good stories. He tells us stories of Bobby Bonds and how he'd seen Barry in the clubhouse.

He's Barry Bonds. There's nothing else you can really say.

He gave him a 96 mph fastball. In his last at-bat, it was a 41-year-old playing a day game after a night game. That was an awesome pitch. It was not easy. But Barry knows how to swing like that on a fastball.

Having Kinard and Barry helps a lot. Kinard can score, and Barry anchors our defense. They've been playing a lot of basketball. They know how to play, and they know how to make plays.

He's got great stop-and-start quickness. As a runner he's hard to find. I'm not going to put him in his category but skill-wise he's like Barry Sanders. His stop-and-start quickness reminds me of that.

He should have the record. Barry is still playing, and he's still hitting home runs. To me, he hit the home runs, and he's supposed to break the record. To hit home runs, you've got to hit the ball. It's not easy to hit a 100-mph fastball, or even 95 fastball, out of the park.

His success is proven. And it's not just him. You've also got (assistant coaches) Rod Marinelli, Joe Barry and Mike Tomlin. You've got some guys who should be coordinators or head coaches on that defensive staff. It's impressive. They've kept guys together in the same system, and that's why they've had success.

His track record speaks for itself. He's got Gold Gloves, hit big home runs, played in the World Series. .. . He's a real quality guy. With Barry and Mo being our number 4 and 5 hitters, it's great that he can not only play the outfield, but he can fill in the missing offense.

He's fun to watch, ... There are other guys that are fun to watch. Barry Bonds, every time he steps to the plate, you figure something big is going to happen.

The owners have made the decision they want to give Barry a chance to prove himself so he will be our main driver from now on. He has been driving well so we are going to give him all the support we can.

I actually felt like I was the best runner today. But I had to work twice as hard as these mountain bikers, Ryan, Barry and Geoff, on the descents." ()

He cares. I'm not saying Barry doesn't care. But (Giambi) tried to keep an upbeat attitude, and it's not easy to do. He's been as open as he could be.

He is the one special player right now, like Barry Bonds , who can change the game around simply with his batting.

Hands, the perfect metaphor for Barry Avrich's visual masturbation,

I wouldn't put much merit in anything Barry says. His track history proves that. But I think, deep down, he wants the whole thing.

John has elected to give himself some more time to recover which means Barry will ride. Please God they get on well in the race.

I suspect they realize that whether you love him or hate him, you want to watch. As for other companies, there's just too much to lose to tie their brand equity to Barry right now.

I think it's because of the controversy that's been around Barry lately and also because Babe is an icon in baseball and America. There's a lot of things involved.
