Captain Quotations

In my experience, 'SNL' has Lorne Michaels, who is, you know, the captain of the ship and gives the show direction and a singular focus, whereas 'MadTV' - even in my 13 episodes there - had maybe one too many cooks and was a bit more chaotic creatively.

I don't wilt easily, and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life, I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.

I love Captain Cold. I have him on my door at the office. He's grounded; he doesn't want to rule the world. He's not necessarily driven by ego, which a lot of villains are.

One of the problems in the Navy is that tradition of being captain of the ship. And an awful lot of people can be retired in the Navy, get over it, get a life, and go on. But there's a lot who can't. And when they have to give up the ship, they got to be captain of something, every single day.

I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

People like Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart - all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there's a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up.

There isn't an amount of money you could offer me to do reality TV. I would rather get my job back on the building site. Or I could own a construction business. Maybe I could retire to my house in Long Island and take up painting, like Captain Beefheart. A crazy recluse: I like that idea.

We've added two incredible players here. Joey is very technically gifted and a real leader since he was the captain of Canada's under-17 team. Daniel is a big, strong and extremely technical left-footed defender who has the ability to organize the defense.

Whether people agree or not, a captain is under more pressure and that is the reason he is selected before everybody else and given time,

There is a reason he's the captain of this team. He does everything max out for us, he is a great leader for us.

We treat them like athletes; we don't treat them like girls. They understand that. The girls who have grown up in our program have seen Jessica or know that she was a captain one year. They don't get any special treatment outside of a separate locker room or the occasional joke about having the nicest hair on the team.

We're looking at a very small group of men and women, particularly focusing on one character. There are a couple of ships, including a principal ship, but this is not a traditional captain and crew of a starship story in the least.

Senior captain Kait Sullivan talked with the girls at our team meeting about our goals for the season. Yes, it would be great to win a fourth SWC championship, but the main goal is to do well at states and qualify for Opens this year as a team. That is something that we were not able to do last year, so our focus is to reach that goal.

She's the best girls swimmer we've ever had at Weston without a doubt and we've had some good ones. In addition to the points Eliza scores for us, she brings so much out of the pool. She's a great captain and leader.

She was a great boss. She was the kind of captain that could take suggestions. She was more of a player's coach.

She was really hurting. I didn't think we'd have her for a couple of weeks. She really gutted it out. That's why she's our captain and our leader.

Since employees start over at step one when they are promoted, going from firefighter to lieutenant results in a loss of about $1.50 per hour, and lieutenant to captain results in a loss of about 50 cents per hour. But other departments have the same problem, specifically in the Police Department and the Water and the Community Appearance departments. In the Water and Sewer Board, you have many different levels of work, which makes it more likely that you will have promotion problems. That?s why it gets very expensive to fix all of the departments of the city at the same time. The cost depends on the size of the department.

She didn't participate for two years. She was telling the captain she was going to play but she hasn't. So I don't think she wants to play.

She has shown a lot of leadership in terms of organization and getting the girls going. It is a good quality in a captain and this year since we have missed a lot of practices and games-and with me being an off campus coach-it is good to have someone like her as the captain who I can call.

She's a great team leader. Being named the assistant captain shows that the teammates look up to her.

She is our leader. She is that one captain that is in charge of stretches and gets on to people. The other two captains are not like that. Sam gets on them, and she is vocal. No other player plays harder than she does. She gives everything she has.

She is a great team player and does what she is asked to do. She has played more softball than any of the girls on this team and they know that. They respect what she does and what she brings. She definitely proved herself as a captain this year.

Morgan will be our captain this year and I think it's going to be a very good year for her.

No character before its time. The scripts will dictate which is first, ... I cannot wait to tell Captain America's story. It's a doozy of a story.

I don't know why he ran from the car, I know we can all speculate . . . but he was a fool, he's quit the captaincy, he's paid a price . . . . He's a fool because it's not a good image for a captain of a football club. But he's been dealt with by the club under the code of conduct.

I don't care if you're projected as the star of the team or the captain of the team. I don't care if you're the grinder of the team. I don't care if you're the ice cream man. If you don't push and play with intensity, you are not going to get your ice time.

I could tell from early on when I made him a captain that he's a real solid citizen. He does a great job in the classroom and very active in community service.

And we have had some of the most frightful luck I ever heard of.

Captain Hughes of the 10th Precinct would brag that he's not going to speak with club owners because he wants to be adversarial.

But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments, / And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

I can't really answer that, but I will give my opinion to the captain and the coach if they ask me.

I expect he will make a very good captain and I'm not sure why it's taken so long (for him to become India captain),
