Bobby Quotations

He asked me whether I had seen the movie 'The Color Purple.' I said no she hadn't. And Bobby said, 'Well, it's a terrible picture. They don't make good, decent, moral pictures nowadays.'

All of our early hits, 'Danke Schoen' and 'Red Roses,' were produced by Bobby Darin.

They wanted to jump on their own bandwagon. Bobby Charlton had never made it as a manager. Bobby Moore hadn't either. I think they never stopped trying to put me in the same category. That was the road they went down with me.

My mom's always been a good cook, so I took a lot of stuff from her, but most of the stuff I took from Emeril or Bobby Flay right off the TV and make it. I just loved to cook, so it just became a thing. It's a release. Even if I'm alone, I'll cook a full meal, maybe even a two-course meal, just because I love to cook. It's my secret love!

I haven't heard from Bobby since May when we had our conversation, but then this thing broke last week, where they arrested him, and we were watching what was going on on the whole deal, and I was actually flabbergasted, at what the then police chief Parks was saying.

Because I don't look like I'm skating around as hard as Bobby Bassen doesn't mean my mind isn't working twice as hard as Bobby's mind. Just because I can't fight like Kelly Chase doesn't mean standing in front of the net getting cross-checked and slashed isn't toughness as well.

No, I don't know why Bobby and Peter Farrelly bothered with a 'Three Stooges' movie, either. But if they're anything like some men I know, their love for Moe, Larry, and Curly (and an assortment of fourth bananas) is deep, abiding, and unembarrassable. In other words: How could the Farrellys not?

I'm persuaded today that the only way you can get into another country with a different culture from your own is to find a local partner who knows the market. Discovering this felt like small children discovering that if you put a bobby pin into an electric plug you get a shock!

Bobby and I have been to various reunions of Our Gang. We've been to like three or four reunions over the past 15 years or so. We were at one in Palm Springs, California.

The reason that MGM hired Bobby for Our Gang was that they could look at him and say, cry, and he'd cry, and not many kids can do that unless they really want to cry.

A biopic would have required hiring an actor, and I always wanted to just let Bobby be Bobby. My thought was it would make it a more universal story to focus on ordinary people rather than this extraordinary man.

There was a man who was an associate of jimmy Hoffa, who testified against Hoffa in his trial down in Tennessee. We had information from him that he and Hoffa did, in fact, discuss the planning of an assassination conspiracy against Bobby Kennedy.

The last time I spoke with Robert was back in May. When his wife was murdered, I talked to several radio stations in defense of him because I know how Bobby Blake really is, and as far as I'm concerned, there's no murder in his heart.

I don't consider myself a food person. I'm no Bobby Flay. I'm no Emeril or Paula Deen, and I'm certainly not Rachael Ray.

When I played Bobby Fischer, my opponent fought against organizations - the television producers and the match organizers. But he never fought against me personally. I lost to Bobby before the match because he was already stronger than I. He won normally.

I was a huge fan of Bobby Cox, a huge fan of Chipper Jones and John Smoltz. And just those guys, I grew up watching those guys and often wondered early on in my career if I would ever have the chance to play for the Atlanta Braves, and there it was. God kind of answered my prayers.

Bobby Kennedy's conduct toward Lyndon Johnson was childish and despicable. As the years went on, he displayed nasty, self-pitying, and messianic qualities that would have made him a dangerously authoritarian president.

When I was traded from the Oakland A's to the Atlanta Braves before the 2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby Cox.

It involved a lot of trust, but I love Bobby Harlow, and I loved the albums that he made.

My music, I feel, has always been experimental, but it had got to a point where I felt disconnected from it completely. I didn't want to be a Clark Kent/Superman: I couldn't really say, 'Well, B.o.B's the old me, and Bobby Ray's the new me.' I had to just make a point.

I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.

With no outs you're just trying to minimize damage on the first and third. Once I got the first strikeout then I was going for a ground ball, just trying to get out of the inning, and I ended up having a strikeout and Bobby came in and did the rest.

We're not announcing it, because we don't know who it is going to be. Bobby has done this many times in the past when we've had openings at various positions. We'll let them compete for it, and whoever impresses the most will get the opportunity to be our closer.

Through D.C. United, MLS and the U.S. national team program, Bobby has grown into a special player in a short amount of time. At Spurs, Bobby has the opportunity to prove that he can succeed in one of the top leagues in the world. We are extremely proud and happy for Bobby and wish him the best of luck.

We have never been worried about scores. Our greatest concern has always been that the course be kept current with the times. Change has been a constant at Augusta National, starting in the earliest years of the tournament. Bobby Jones made innumerable modifications to the layout, and that philosophy continues to this day.

We were hurting them inside with Bradley Blair and Bobby Golden being effective. It allowed us to control the tempo.

What we need to do is hit Bobby Ryan a little more. He's a tough guy and he's trying to get through the neutral zone a little too easily. Maybe we need a good open-ice hit or a few more hits to slow him down. We do that, maybe we do a better job of shutting him down.

This reality show not only brought him back to the forefront of pop culture, but it positioned him to start doing shows and wowing audiences. Bobby has become a star again.

This win today has so many interesting, worthy facets, ... Bobby touched on Buddy coming in, getting a good ride. Was there a stronger car in the field today? Was there a stronger driver in the field today? My God, Buddy just would not stop, and it was eating everybody alive. There's something about it, it was I think preordained certainly. You could feel it. You could feel it from the start of the race.

There are two components. It's a process that keeps our organization filled with talented players because we have excellent people involved in scouting and the minor league system. The second part is Bobby Cox and his coaching staff, who take this talent wherever it comes from and blends it as effectively as any staff in the major leagues can do.

Luke has really developed as a strong pitcher since coming here. Bobby Mack is a right-hander who is a solid pitcher and we'll use him out of the bullpen.

Seton Hall is getting a spirited and energetic coach who will demand the best of his staff and players. At Manhattan, Bobby gave us his best, and in turn, we wish him the very best at Seton Hall.

Since the overall World Cup title is what we aim for, it is good to win our first technical race of the year. Bobby and I really like the hill and conditions. We had a very good race.

Sir Bobby Robson is a quality manager with a superb track record and we are very impressed with his abilities.

maybe makes Bobby Siller's words carry a little more meaning.

Now, when we first started, I would be playing something good and then feel like I wasn't doing the right thing and launch into some idiotic cliche. Luckily for me, Bobby was patient.

Obviously, he's been in an outstanding situation for a long time in Atlanta, playing for a great manager, Bobby Cox.

Obviously, he had an expertise and a way about him. I don't think you can get strapped by the age thing. Bobby Knight was named a head coach at a very young age. Those guys were given a lot, tool-wise, and they've obviously took it and run with it.

Obviously, Bobby is a very important part of the team. Fortunately, we have Marco. If we didn't, it would be even more disappointing. As it is, it will be tough, but that's the way it was dealt. ... We have a very resilient team and we've gone through a lot. We'll do what we can.

Right now Al Pena is our quarterback, and we're hoping to get Bobby Reid back soon.

People who've been around Bobby for a while view him as normal, ... Not many could overcome what he has, but Bobby has and can walk. He just does it differently.

Nobody closes as strong as Bobby Bowden, especially the last couple of years. He's (Bowden) one of the best closers and his staff has really done well.

I was taking top-of-the-key shots because I was wide open and he wasn't guarding me. People underestimate our ability. We have a lot of people that can make plays. I can make plays. Bobby can make plays. Mike can make plays. They even left Appleby open.

I was surprised I was able to go so slow the first quarter. Bobby (Gonzalez) was getting after his horse to show some speed but his horse wouldn't go. My horse relaxed so nice. When they started to run at him, he picked it up on his own. As soon as horses come to him, he leans forward and wants to go.

I wouldn't know what to do anywhere else. Bobby doesn't put us through military camp out of the gate. He knows what we need to be ready for the season.

If we have Ahmet down the stretch, I think we're still playing somewhere (in the NCAA Tournament or NIT). And if we had Bobby and Little Matt, I don't think there's any question.

If we didn't score 25 or 30 or whatever, our chances of winning were slim. We still want to do our thing but we've got Bobby and Andrew, we've got T.J. back. It's going to be a balanced attack, and that's what it takes to win championships.

I go where Bobby goes, and he tells me what we're going to do and I say, sure, let's do it, ... But obviously, in the beginning, it was a disappointment not to be here.

I have great respect for Bobby Bowden and what he's done for college football. His teams play with enthusiasm. I've coached Florida State kids (in the NFL) and they believe in their program. It's a very competitive program.

I have great respect for Bobby Bowden and what he's done for college football, ... His teams play with enthusiasm. I've coached Florida State kids (in the NFL) and they believe in their program. It's a very competitive program.

I'd like to play every day, but that's not going to happen. Last week, at the end of spring training, (Macha) told me that I'd probably get a third day off here and there, but with Bobby (Crosby) hurt, and the Yankees in town, I wanted to be in the lineup.

I'd already seen the kind of discipline and quality of effort that was being put into our program. I just felt very strongly that Bobby did not need to be looking to the rear view mirror as to whether the university administration was supporting him. He needed to look through the front window,

I coached Bobby in football when he was a seven. I always knew he was going to be a good athlete.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Charlie Yates. Charlie was an outstanding amateur golfer and a member who was linked to Bobby Jones and the club's history, attending every Masters through 2003. He will be greatly missed.

Certainly, Bobby is most deserving of this honor. Bobby is a true role model, and we as an organization are very appreciative of his efforts this season and in the past.

I'm a little bit used to it. He's deserving of the opportunity. I'm more concerned with the kids right now. And if Bobby gets the job, we have to be fine with it. That's just a fact of life.

I love Bobby Douglas. When you think of wrestling, you think of Coach Douglas.

If Bobby doesn't come out and knock down three or four early shots and take the pressure off, we start to rush. I think it's going to come, but it is a little frustrating right now.

If Bobby didn't do what he did, we wouldn't have won the game.

If Bobby Carpenter had been at one spot during his career, he might have had more production. He's not quite as productive as A.J., but when they walk into a room together, you're more impressed with Carpenter in terms of the way he looks.

I didn't have as much influence as everyone thinks. Brandon's success is a product of Bobby Freund. I'm only along for the ride and did what I could. I told Brandon what to look for and what to focus on, and he did a good job staying focused on taking care of one match at a time.

I can tell you without challenge that I have asked Bobby to please take some time to rest and spend quality time away from the job.

Growing up, my favorite group was New Edition. I loved the opportunity to do the remix to Bobby Brown's song 'Get Away'. I told myself that I would have my own group like New Edition one day.

Give me those numbers again? I have a long ways to go. I have great respect for Bobby Bowden and what he's done for college football.

Freedom's just another word for nothin left to loose. Nothin, don't mean nothin honey if it ain't free. And feelin good was easy, Lord, when he played the blues. You know feelin good was good enough for me, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

If it had been her on the chopping block, I would've faced the music and made it a tie again. That way me and Bobby Jon would've had to pull the bad rock.

If it weren't pertaining to my charity, I probably would have cared less and just said he was a jerk. But when there is a chance for me to do something or for his signature to do something for charity, I won't stand for that. It's ironic that his dad (former big-league star Bobby Bonds) died of cancer too.

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 hasn't played in about a week and the way this league is set up, you're really not able to practice together much during the week. We're still working on developing a chemistry. It will come, but it's something that takes time. I don't think it will take very long for Bobby to get back in the flow of the game here.

He has a situation where he's been very productive with Bobby Cox and he's been a big part of their team in helping develop their young players. They win. If I was him, why would I leave for one year?

Holly gets a chance to go to one of the finer organizations in the game, a contending club and a club he's performed well against. John Schuerholtz and Bobby Cox felt like as well as they are going, they could use a veteran who can pinch hit off the bench, which Holly has done well.

He's going to be a stud. You can just see it. He's excited to be at the rink every day. He does everything at the fastest tempo that he possibly can and God does he pound the puck. He's leading our team in shots in the preseason by a wide margin. It isn't like he's Bobby Orr leading the attack, he gets it at the point, he pounds it and he hits the net. Good things happen when you are doing that.

He's going be kicking for us every night. If we do our job, we know he's going to do his game in and game out. I think three's the magic number because once Bobby lets in two, he gets (ticked) off where he's not going to let any more in.

Hopefully we can improve on our (pitching) numbers from last year, and come conference and playoff time we should be pretty experienced. Bobby and Kyle have the ability to be dominant and Casey, Phil and Tony are solid, too.

He didn't live far away from my high school (in New Jersey). He liked the way I worked and took an interest in me for some reason. He recommended me to Bobby Knight. But I haven't talked to him since he's been in Dallas.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

Knowing Sir Bobby as I do, he will be back fighting fit in no time.

Kids in the '60s, you know, are disillusioned. There is no question about that. They feel that John Kennedy went, Bobby Kennedy went, Martin Luther King went-they were all killed-and the kids do feel that the lights have gone out in Camelot, the banners are furled, and the parade is over.

Jack & Bobby ... Sometimes the greatest people can be seated right next to you.

I think it's a great comparison. Bobby Jones was a great runner in transition, he was a great athlete on the floor. I believe as David continues to grow, his shooting will get better. He's a very versatile guy.

I think it's gone pretty well. We're very fortunate to have a very balanced basketball club. Bobby has always made some strong contributions. At times he's been our leading scorer. He's also drawn a lot of attention. We've faced a lot of zone defenses because he is 6-8. Bobby recognizes when he gets the ball in the post when to get the ball back out to the perimeter.

I think that charged the club. Whether he hit Bobby to send a message or not, I think the team backed up Bobby. We scored five unanswered runs, and that nailed the coffin.

I think Bobby will address some things, certainly in terms of looking at weaknesses and how to strengthen those weaknesses. But I think he has to be pleased with the last two games in terms of unity and preparation and playing football like Florida State should play football. I thought we did that in a big win and in a heartbreaking loss.

I think Bobby has done a great job of being a floor general, making sure everybody is where they need to be on the court at all times. You have to credit him because he came here and was thrown into the fire early.

It is kind of weird, but I'm happy for those guys. I called up Bobby Engram (on Monday) and congratulated him. I can't wait to see some of those guys.

I watched Gretzky, I watched Lemieux. Maybe it's the time when you're playing, but for a kid coming into the league, you play the Boston Bruins and you just watched Bobby Orr.

I want to thank Bobby for his efforts over the past year and a half. I wish Bobby nothing but the best as he pursues his options for next season.

I went to school so I could fill in for Bobby when he needs a break or has to be away to do another auction somewhere. I do OK, but he's a lot better. He's an artist.

It is a sacred ground for golf. I was really taken in by the history of the club going back to Bobby Jones.

Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.

I think Donovan and Beasley once again are players that we will count on. Bobby Convey (Reading) has the potential to help us in a World Cup, Eddie Johnson (Kansas City Wizards ) has the potential to help us in the World Cup.

Our philosophy on offense is to wait for opportunity. Those guys have proven they can play when they get that opportunity. Eventually, we'll get Darrell and Bobby back. Until then, hopefully those guys can continue playing well.

My wife was diagnosed with lupus 16 or 17 years ago, and that's how I kinda got involved in it. I just finished my fifth annual Bobby Hatfield Classic Golf Tournament, and happily I can report that we raised over $52,000. Through the years we've raised not only through the golf tournament, but through other charitable concerts, we've raised over $600,000.

I was told to mark what was then the best player - Bobby Charlton. Bobby told me later that (England manager) Alf Ramsey had told him to keep an eye on this young, good-looking German guy.

I was the original guy that started that group, Bobby Taylor was, I started off with a group called The Shades we were in Calgary.

I think every coach in the league would agree he's one of the better players. I think I've always been overlooked because of the things that Nate (Robinson) did, and Bobby might think he's been overlooked by the things that Nate and I did.

It does put us in the same bracket with the way Phoenix played last year. Phoenix could bring in a big power forward, or it could put Shawn Marion at power forward. It kind of makes us like that, and that makes us dangerous. If you put Bobby at power forward, there's not a power forward in the NBA that can guard Bobby Simmons.

I thought it was his best defensive performance of the year. He took Hassan Adams out of what he wanted to do and Hassan Adams is one of the best perimeter players in the country. For Bobby just to stay in front of him and keep him out of the lane and keep him from the easy baskets and force him into tougher shots, I thought he was tremendous. It was the key to our win.

I thought I had it. It was a real bad break for us when Bobby ran into the official.

Julio had a great run with Atlanta. He loves Bobby Cox, loved playing with the Braves. They gave him an opportunity no one else would.
