Ben Quotations

I descend from both Philadelphia Quakers and Carolina colonists whose families were separated by the Revolutionary War. That helped give me insight into the agony of Patriots who, until the British government denied their claims, had always, like Ben Franklin himself, thought of themselves as free-born Englishmen.

My beauty tricks revolve around eyes. For the early morning shoots, I pop eye pads in the freezer the night before, and when I take them out in the morning they are already cold and active and are great under my eyes. I keep my eye pads right next to my red velvet Ben & Jerry's in the freezer.

I'm a big fan of piano-based rock music like Elton John, Ben Folds, and even Queen.

It has been a great experience to act in Hollywood movies with actors like Ben Kingsley.

I got into house music thanks to Dutch master mixer Ben Liebrand and my friends at school.

Dr. Ben Carson has the most moving personal narrative in modern presidential politics. His mother, one of 24 children, had only a third-grade education. She was married at age 13, bore Ben and his brother, and then raised the boys as an impoverished single mother in Detroit. As a young boy, Carson was a terrible student.

This particular film highlights Ben and Owen's strengths which is that they are great comedic actors with tremendous chemistry and they do a really good job.

I'm a big fan of all the Boston guys that are acting - Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg - they made a great career out of it, and they found a way to do it and still be cool guys, so that's kind of where I want to be.

At Marshall Field in Chicago, I had them take a big bed into the menswear department, one with black sheets. I'd get in bed wearing a nightcap, and my fans would get in bed with me, one at a time, and I'd sign their memorabilia. And then I'd give them a free pint of Ben & Jerry's.

At the same time we overlap, because, I do linguistics, and Ben did a first degree in Linguistics at Lancaster University, so he knows some of my subject.

The patriarchy is alive and well in Egypt and the wider Arab world. Just because we got rid of the father of the nation in Egypt or Tunisia, Mubarak or Ben Ali, and in a number of other countries, does not mean that the father of the family does not still hold sway.

Growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, Ben Johnson was more famous than John Wayne to some of us. I knew him. I worked with him on a low budget film years ago, and we'd sit around at night while waiting for a shot.

I knew Quintessentially was a success when my father, who does a lot of business in Beirut, introduced himself to somebody and they said, 'Oh, do you know Ben Elliot? I'd really like to meet him.' I remember him ringing me up, really annoyed.

I knew Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were really talented. As actors, they were both studly young men, and they had great writers' chops.

I don't think I could do what Woody Allen or Clint Eastwood or Ben Stiller do, where they direct a movie and they star in it. I would just be like, 'Oh, I don't even want to look at my face.'

We've all got to get in there and help Ben. For so long here, we've kind of leaned on Ben and felt he was going to get every one of them. We've all got to make an effort.

We struggled in the middle of the park; this was our main problem. This is why we needed to adjust the situation at halftime, to make sure that they're not going to have an advantage in the middle. I think Ben Olsen and Brian Carroll did a pretty good job. In the second half Clyde Simms came on and I think that was pretty significant and we got better and moved better going forward. We came a very long way to get these three points and we're happy with the win.

We struggled a little bit to get going, and they (L-S) were on fire tonight. Ben and Mike were all over the place, but we couldn't get enough stops defensively.

While I would have preferred for Ben and Jerry's to remain independent, I'm excited about this next chapter in the life of the business,

Weymouth have a great chance of going up. That gives Ben the chance of playing next year.

What he's coming through very clearly and saying is we will probably pause soon but don't assume we're done because we pause. ... But I think the market is just reacting to 'Hey, hey, Ben said we might be done soon'. Whenever you take a little uncertainty out of the picture, well, the market is going to like that.

We got up double digits against them, and I bet going through everybody's mind was what happened Thursday when they went on a run. I didn't want that to happen. Defensively, I took the challenge of Ben Gordon, and offensively I took the challenge of trying to put them away.

Unfortunately Marcus has not made the progress that we had hoped but as one door closes, another opens for Ben MacDougall who wins his first cap this weekend.

Very few players maintain the pace, obviously, he's on. Brian Fair, Ray Allen, Ben Gordon, the great shooters we've had here, if anybody could ... I don't think anybody we've ever had could get as hot as he could get. I think Ben Gordon and Ray might be better shooters, but I'm not sure anybody can get as hot as he could get.

Very few players are able to maintain the pace he's on. I don't think anybody I've ever had can get as hot as he can get. Ben (Gordon) and Ray (Allen) are probably better shooters, but nobody gets as hot as he does. He's done that against a whole bunch of folks. It's not the first time.

We feel bad for Ben because his consistent play has been a real benefit to our team the last several games. It's unfortunate, but we're hopeful that he'll recover quickly.

We've still got offers out to Ben and Shane,

We decided to redefine the bottom line at Ben & Jerry?s.

We tried Baskin-Robbins years ago, and then their scoops got smaller and their prices went up. This is closer than Ben & Jerry's. We gave up Ben & Jerry's.

We have put ourselves in a position to re-sign both Ben (this summer) and Chauncey (in the summer of 2007), and we are getting a pretty good draft pick to fill in with another young guy in the next year or two. I am very satisfied with how this turned out.

There is a little bit of Ben Hogan in that swing. The way he attacks the ball. He's played some great golf in his career.

We have a play that we run there where we to try to get Ben on a run around but it didn't develop. Snow (was) pretty much covering it real good there and we couldn't get off of him to get Ben free.

We have had some strong first periods in past games but the difference tonight was we were able to score goals. Getting the early goals was important tonight. Ben Bishop had a strong second period in which things could have turned. That was a big reason why we won the game. Tomorrow night will give us another opportunity and promises to be an exciting but challenging game.

The reason Ben moved was to get the week-in, week-out rugby he could not be guaranteed in Edinburgh, and the wisdom of his move has been demonstrated throughout the season and underlined today.

When I came into the picture, Ben and his dad had had a lot of together time and did a lot of grown-up things. Then I came along, and we did more grown-up things. He was used to hanging around adults a lot. I think that was part of (his growing up fast). He just got used to being around adults, and he acted like one of 'em.

We're giving talented people the opportunity to work closely with the real innovators in the in-game advertising industry. New recruits would be able to develop campaigns for leading global brands such as Ben Sherman, Red Bull and Orange, work with top publishers, and most importantly have a hand in shaping the hottest advertising sector.

Liam (Smith) stepped up in the second half. That's kind of how he's played all year. Ben (Parker) played good defense, but his shot wasn't going in. Jon is the real quarterback of the team. He's a real point guard and he'd rather have the assist than the basket. Sometimes I wish he'd shoot more.

Last year, they took away the run and we ran anyway. We ran it and ran it. It had a lot to do with Ben growing. Well, he's grown up now.

Scott dominated today and that was amazing to see as a coach. We were handicapped without Kyle and Ben and that hurt us. Overall, the men are extremely strong and are one of the best alpine teams in the country.

On a couple of third-and-longs, we let Ben scramble and make big plays.

Oh yeah. It's like Charlie said on TV, it's not him against Ben. He has to go against the Steelers' defense and Ben has to face the Browns.

She had way too many expectations, and Ben seemed to get the worst of it.

My feeling was that, as much as Richard Dean Anderson is a beloved actor and character in the show, Ben is coming in with an established fan base from another show playing a great character, and he's just very enthusiastic to be there. Fun to work with. It looks very bright.

My first job was playing 'Nurse 2' in a film by Ben Elton called 'Maybe Baby,' and the first actors I worked with professionally were Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. I was totally star-struck. I got that job on my final day of drama school, so it was a nice bridge into the professional world.

One out of every 100 family's in Vermont was a part owner of Ben and Jerry's.

One of the best things Ben does is throw the fade. The fact that they were playing man-to-man on our best receivers is reason enough to throw it, even in the rain.

Maybe through some fault of his own, Ben hasn't made the greatest choices in the last few years,

Neither of us could have anticipated twenty years ago that a major multi-international would some day sign on, enthusiastically, to pursue and expand the social mission that continues to be an essential part of Ben & Jerry's and a driving force behind many of our successes.

Nick will be an outstanding player for us and I look forward to his presence on the field. Eric and Ben both come off an outstanding season where they helped Mount St. Joseph win the Baltimore City championship.

On number two you really felt for him. It helped us (Mize and Ben Crane) because he's not losing it out there. He'd be a really good poker player because you can't tell how he's doing.

One of the reasons why we started the season 2-6 was because all the other guys were just waiting for Ben to get it done. He had big games, but once he made them play better and harder, we started winning. He was a good leader for the other guys.

One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free.

I was happy for Ben Rhoda getting his 1,000th point tonight and the way he got the put back which basically (sealed the deal) in the game.

I grew up in the suburbs, so I remember arriving at Waterloo and seeing Big Ben and the coloured lights on top of the Southbank Centre and thinking, 'Wow!'

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and regularly, my parents would take us to the Holiday House Supper Club to see acts like Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Ben Vereen, Freda Payne, Stephanie Mills, and The Temptations, to name a few.

If there were to be six classes, we would be in the largest class and still play schools almost twice as big as us. Penn, Ben Davis, Carmel, Warren Central, they will always have an advantage. It is the way it is.

I have enormous respect for Tony as a player and a person but right now we are working on retaining Ben and Shane Walker.

But that's nothing new. We're going to be a running team whether it's Ben or Tommy or Charlie at quarterback. And we'll still throw the football, too.

I have a lot of respect for Ben and I want to do the right thing in getting him to Edmonton, but I'm not going to give him up for nothing. All I want is fair market value for Ben.

I have never been more excited and energized about a head coaching appointment in my career than I am with the hiring of Ben Jacobson as our men's basketball coach. Ben is ready to take this step. He has the support of the current team and our recruiting class and he will do a great job of maintaining the excellence that we have built in our men's basketball program.

I feel for Ben that he has had to stand down from the position because I know how much he does cherish it. But he also has had to weigh up what the position means and it's a courageous decision for him to make.

I did get a couple of his strays to follow me. They were screaming and yelling. I like the place, and the crowd has more to do with it than Ben Hogan winning here.

Fox News Channel terminated Ben Johnson, a satellite truck engineer, upon learning that he had admitted to the acts described by the Customs Department. This is an unfortunate incident and his supervisor took the appropriate action for this transgression.

From Caron Butler - and there's no validation this automatically has to happen - to Ben Gordon, it looks like Rudy is starting to make the move to where we think he can be. He is going to get there, there's no question. It's just that every kid gets there at different times.

Gadhafi has established no national institutions, not even allowing a fake parliament of the Mubarak or Ben Ali variety that could perhaps be turned into something real.

If Ben - I would have told him - and I should have told Len in this case,

I expect to manage the game and do exactly what Ben would do if he was in there.

From the standpoint of Ben, obviously Ben did what he did ... but we believe there were errors in both the evidence and the legal instructions to the jury, ... We respect the jury's findings, but feel the decision was flawed.

If it requires a screw to be inserted Ben could be sidelined for around 10 weeks.

I always get them mixed up. Andrew gave Ben a shorter haircut. Andrew has more of a blonder colored hair. Sometimes, they play along with it. Ben is the quieter one. Drew is more outgoing.

He will still be a strong on-field leader for the club. He will be back out there on Sunday at 120 per cent. I think Ben will actually be very happy to go out and play football.

He has had a terrific season and his presence on game days will be missed. But we are confident that Ben will fully recover from this injury.

He exists in the public mind as bits and pieces of his characters-Butch Cassidy's charm, Ben Quick's machismo, Cool Hand Luke's defiance, Harper's irony, Hud's disdain.

To convert on that and have Ben score a touchdown, we had momentum going into (halftime). We came out in the second half and Willie busted a wide open touchdown that put us up 14-3, so that was a huge play.

Here are a couple of roster moves you can count on. I'm pretty sure Ben will be back and I'm pretty sure The Bus is retiring.

He's a guy that will find a way to get the job done. He's an established hitter, but he'll walk or get hit by a pitch. Any number of things that winning players do, that defines Ben Woods.

He's bothered us in all areas. His speed has bothered us, he's made his open shots and we've given him too many free throws. He's always been one of the faster point guards. We've had Ben on him, and we've had trouble dealing with that speed.

He's (Ben Wallace) the best in the business, man. He has more energy than anybody, he rebounds better than anybody, his defensive presence is unreal. He's just doing what he does. That's Ben Wallace.

He's been an important piece to our starting rotation, along with Ben Sheets and Doug Davis. They've really solidified the first three starting spots.

He's playing on one leg, and he was phenomenal. I looked a few times, and Ben was behind him, and you couldn't see him.

He's playing like he has been in the league a lot longer than two years. The Broncos were going to force it, the way they blitz, the way they come, and we weren't always going to be able to run it all the time like we do. The pressure was on Ben to make some big passes, and he did.

I agree that she's a blast, ... even if some of the show's longtime fans seem disgruntled that other characters were marginalized during the Vala/Daniel Jackson arc, including new cast member Ben Browder.

He walked me home and made out with me. That was my second kiss and he got to second base too. Then there was Ben - he was my first dry hump.

He killed us last time. He's a good basketball player. I thought we boxed him out well and Luke (Brocks) and Ben (McCormick) played good defense against him. That's what it's all about. If you play defense on this team, you're going to make a difference.

Ken was just a tremendous father, and we would take Ben fishing out at Camp Clay. He would come up to the Y and play basketball, and he's quite a golfer also.

Jake finished close behind Ben White of eventual team champion Liverpool. Jake has been looking forward to this race against one of the top runners in New York and came away disappointed. I think this set back will fuel Jake to beat White next time.

Jose Sucre, Ben Post and Sam Judkins all had good games for us.

John Hawkes is amazing. I really want to meet that man; he's so good. Him and Ben Foster, and I'm a big fan of Nick Stahl - those are my three guys.

I talked to Ben today, and he was in great spirits.

I think in his second year with us, Caron started to realize in January just how good he could be with a lot of pushing and prodding. Ben was the same way. I think Rudy (Gay) is starting to understand some of the great gifts that he has and he's starting to showcase them a lot more and just becoming a better player.

It appears to be a terrific deal for Ben & Jerry's shareholders, ... Ultimately, what the acquisition proves is that strong powerful brands are very, very strong franchises.

I thought Ben has gotten better and better each week. The biggest thing with Ben is just learning the basics of offensive line play. He never really played that much offensive line, but he was born to be an offensive lineman. He has a bright future in this game. He's such a good person; he works hard, and he's smart.

I think the ban is fair. I thought Belly might get more. Now he has a chance to get his head sorted ahead of next season. Ben has played quite a bit this season and will not let us down.

I thought the biggest shot of the game was when Ben hit that three. Then he hit the foul shots. These are two really good games in a row for Ben Lazarus.

I thought Peter Brown give us a nice life in the first half and I thought Ben really answered the bell in the second half. There was some key buckets that Ben delivered on. I thought we competed hard and played with a lot of energy. This was a team win where everyone contributed.

I think what was reported today represents a very attractive deal to the shareholders, and would also be a very attractive deal to Ben Cohen, who owns 40 percent of the company, and to the consumers,

I think both of them are kind of slow-footed, but they know how to shuffle out of trouble in the pocket. Dan was more of a gunslinger. Ben doesn't have to be that for Pittsburgh. They want to throw to get a lead and set up their running game.

I think Ben saw Nick coming out, and there was no communication. Nick thought he was going to pick it up. I think we got a little tentative and we didn't even have a play.

I think Ben might be a little bit better than I initially thought he was in training camp, ... There was some talk about injuries with him and being better in pass coverage than the run. I think overall he's doing a pretty good job. Nothing great, but he is fitting into the system and understanding more about the defense. He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.

I think Ben did what he thought was best for the university and the community. I don't think he ever looked back and second-guessed himself. We were wrong. I won't lay that all at his feet.
