Charlie Quotations | Page 2

I watched the game against Pittsburgh, and I knew what they were doing on almost every play because Charlie is running what we ran in New England. What's so tough about his offense is that it comes at you from all angles, on the ground and through the air, and it blends a bunch of different offensive philosophies.

I went to Charlie and said, 'Give it to me, look it all the way in, follow me as I go through, and I'll do the rest,

I was a little more encouraged with Charlie today. Today was kind of a test day. We thought it would be anywhere from play him to scope him on Thursday, but he has responded a lot better than we possibly thought he would when the injury happened." ()

Jesse Morrison came up and drove one in, and Charlie came up behind him and drove two in, which was big.

I think dignity is the right word. I think Charlie has enough self-confidence in how to coach and handle people, and the players took their cues from him.

I saw Keith there at the end so I guess he was pretty close. Charlie gives us real good stuff and I think we are running where we should be right now.

Our first two lines have been very good (26 goals in five games). Charlie has played very well and the defense is getting better every time out.

Redenbacher was the front and Charlie was the brains. Charlie made it happen.

Like the music of Beethoven, Bach and Charlie Parker, the Beatles' music was built to last - proving that a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

I think Charlie has done a good job in keeping a good feeling and a good attitude in the clubhouse. The players are still very upbeat. We haven?t performed as well as we wanted from a pitching and offensive standpoint. But I don?t think that can be laid at the feet of the manager.

I think Cleveland right now, with what they're doing with Romeo, and I think they have a good young quarterback with Charlie Frye, I think they're an up-and-coming team. I think it's a good division.

I think I messed Charlie up last year, and he's too good of a person, too good of a talent not to be more productive than he was last year. I take sole responsibility for him not being productive.

I think the system, as it currently is, probably was a slight disadvantage to Charlie and myself. Everybody assumed we were going to the Super Bowl, which they were correct, and they didn't want to wait until February to have a chance to talk to us again and maybe make a decision about a coaching job. I would have to say it was a disadvantage.

It is far too premature for us to even think about that. Charlie and Elizabeth will continue to anchor the broadcast.

I'm horrified. I know that Charlie had some pretty big disappointments in his life. The world of Hollywood movies and television can be pretty rough for a person.

That was two back-to-back triples leading off that inning. Patrick hit the ball hard all four at-bats. The two triples he hit were hard-hit balls. I hope he stays hot this weekend. I hope Charlie continues to hit well. He had a tough night tonight with one hit, but I'm not worrying about Charlie.

The 1988 biopic of bebop immortal Charlie Parker, 'Bird,' was the film that opened my eyes to Clint Eastwood's potential as a filmmaker.

I would hope (the new GM) would take a look at the job Charlie did. We have a pretty good manager. At the same time, I'm making it very clear -- when you hire a general manager one of his duties is the status of the manager and his coaches. At the same time, we have an incumbent manager who has performed well.

Mostly friends of mine, like my friend Charlie Brown, ... He and I worked together at the art instruction correspondence school.

We just want to make sure we have the professionals and tools in place to make sure that every single vote for Charlie Wilson counts.

We haven't wrestled well in this gym all season, but we did today. Danny had a great day. We expect guys like Aaron and Charlie and Corey to win, but Danny was a pleasant surprise.

When I think about Charlie Weis, I think about confidence.

Wed really like to thank Circle C Ranch owner, Charlie Crowder, who has generously continued to present the rodeo although his daughters have long-since graduated from Milton,

Well, I like Charlie Parker, Ella, Billie Holiday.

We put a lot of work into transforming the house. For Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we even had a chocolate fountain.

We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We had looked forward to starting him (Pittman) and Charlie in the same backfield together, but that won't be the case this year,

We wanted to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats, not knowing whether Shelley was going to marry Charlie or come to her senses.

We have to know that they have other guys that are capable. Charlie Bell has played well. T.J. Ford had a pretty good game overall and we've got to continue to find those two. Just do what we normally do. Our philosophy is to contest whatever shot is taken, try to limit three-point shots and rebound the basketball. Those are three things we did.

We were going back to Lynn Greer. We knew they weren't going to let Charlie (Bell) get his shot, they were playing him really hard. We tried to run a high pick-and-roll. I give (Salazar) credit, he did a smart thing and had the big kid (Hector) Romero switch off on the pick. Lynn couldn't get a shot against it.

We made it on a cheap PC that couldn't get enough power and kept crashing. We'd borrow microphones, cords and pieces, and we made our own kind of soundproofing. That's what I mean about trying to be great with what you've got. ... It gives you a sound that no one else has got because no one else is doing it in that room. It's like the great Stones records where you hear Charlie Watts miss a beat or you hear Mick in the background encouraging the backing singers. It's amazing.

The president and first lady are very saddened by the developments in this matter and feel bad for Webb and Suzy Hubbell, Mike Schaufele, Charlie Owen and all of their families.

The quarterback position has been a little bit of a merry-go-round; we've had Charlie in there, Tommy in there, we've had Ben in there ... and, consequently, our passing game has suffered. There hasn't been that rhythm and being in sync.

We probably have our best defensive lineup when Charlie is on the mound.

If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed.

So I am death" Charlie said then turned to his daughter while buttering his toast. "This is death toast sweety.

Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men." --Charlie Gordan

There are so many doors to open. I am impatient to begin." --Charlie Gordan

We came out and executed very well for three quarters tonight. On offense, we were able to get the ball inside to Charlie (McCormick) and Adam (Benet) and defensively we were able to deny the passing lanes.

We're trying to add more depth to our pitching staff and give Charlie more people to look at in spring training.

We thought that we had ruined Charlie Brown.

With Brad van Hoff in center, if the ball goes up, it's pretty much caught out there. The kid can run. Charlie Carter's one of the best athletes I've seen around here at Eastside, as far as all-around baseball players. He can do it all.

With one member of the MPC voting for an interest rate cut in December and Bank of England chief economist, Charlie Bean, recently making some dovish comments, the odds of an interest rate cut early in 2006 are rising.

The reason union members are doing this is Charlie Wilson has done more for workers as a state senator than anyone could have hoped for, and now we're helping him back.

We wanted to see how Charlie would handle the surprise start, and it looked like he handled it pretty good. I think his numbers looked pretty good in the first half. He did a nice job.

Up until his health problems, he was dynamic. He'd crawl up and patch the roof. Dad's kind of a take-charge guy. He's a tough guy. He's a Charlie Bronson.

There is something Geoff has been aware of and it is in the hands of Charlie now.

We had to go with a short lineup. Charlie Cox played really well as did Jeff Graham.

When you look back, this might be the worst class he ever signed because he didn't have a lot of time to recruit. But if you think about what he did at Nebraska and the quality players he recruited, he should do well for Buffalo. Florida didn't do as well under Urban Meyer in his first year and neither did Notre Dame with Charlie Weis. It's usually that second class where you see results.

We trust Charlie and the FIA and had a very nice conversation in which we made it clear we needed him to help us clarify the situation.

We had success right off the bat, ... Our first team lost in the state championship game in McKinney. Brandon Grant and Charlie Wells from Liberty-Eylau were pitchers on that team.

We got the ball into Charlie six possessions in a row, and finally we started to click.

We like working outdoors, especially this time of year in Florida. And, at a festival you get to meet people you have always admired. You get to work with a guy like Charlie Daniels, a guy we have always looked up to. We've also worked with Neal McCoy and he puts on a great show.

Book sales and teens reading is always a fantastic thing, but we should also be celebrating and consuming the huge wealth of U.K. and U.K.-based writing and illustrating talent. Authors such as Charlie Higson, Darren Shan, Holly Smale, Tanya Byrne, Catherine Johnson, Sophie Mckenzie, to name but a few.

Brandon beats a lot of guys with his technique and skill. He played with Greg and Charlie since he was younger, but now it's his time to take on the role of being the 'it' player.

Everybody talked about giving Charlie Weis four weeks to prepare. That kind of upset me. What about giving coach Tress four weeks to prepare? He's four out of five in bowl games.

During his tenure, Charlie used his broad business experiences and sound judgment to help steer the company through many challenges over the past decade. Through Charlie's leadership, we have built a world-class financial organization and strengthened Lilly's reputation for sound financial operations, transparency in our financial reporting, and strong internal controls.

Florenz Ziegfeld, to us and our family, was just a delightful person. My sisters, Mary and Pearl, my brother Charlie and I all worked for him, and he treated us just beautifully, almost like a father. When I went with my mother up to his office, he was always gentlemanly and kindly. He was sort of a quiet person.

Fat Charlie wasn't sure that he liked freedom, ... There was too much open air involved.

Fat Charlie the archangel files for divorce, he says, well this will eat up a year of my life, and there's all that weight to be lost.

There's no more pressure in any other coaching job in the country. Not everyone is cut out to coach football at Notre Dame. But I think Charlie is. That's why I think they eventually got the best person for the job even though there might have been some detours before it happened.

There's nothing easy about being a manager, because you're going to be second-guessed. I respect Charlie as a manager, and even though at the time I didn't agree with it, he put thought into it. It wasn't a blind decision, and it didn't work out, but he stuck by it.

The toughest guy to tackle? Probably Marshall Faulk . Charlie Garner was something special before the injuries. Charlie played full speed all the time. He had shiftiness and ran with good power for a fairly small running back. Yeah, I'd have to say those two guys: Marshall because of the elusiveness and Charlie because he had the speed and shiftiness and ran with good power.

I've been fortunate. I've worked in a lot of things where I had those kinds of experiences with actors who were perceived as very macho guys, everybody from Lee Marvin to Charlie Bronson to Harrison Ford to Robert Shaw.

I've always said that the reason 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' is a classic is because it reflects the Midwest values that Charles Schulz grew up with.

I've been a friend of Charlie Ray's a long time and he's still very much my friend. He got pulled into an issue he didn't want to be pulled into. He's a public servant and an employee. He was remorseful for signing the letter. I'm extremely sorry he got pulled into this.

I vividly recall Charlie Clough being fired in early 2000 coincident with the market top. He was wildly bearish. Nobody has ever accused brokerage management of having good timing.

Ron has been with Perry for several years and we are confidant that he will do a good job. Charlie has done a good job for us already and will make a good assistant chief.

As far as Brad knowing the game and his receiving skills, he would rank right there with Charlie O'Brien. If you are a catcher in Little League, high school, college or in the Minor Leagues, if you don't want to ask any questions and you want to learn by watching, I would get a video tape of either one of those guys.

As Charlie put it, 'One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab',

You've probably heard the stories about how io9 got its name. And maybe you know that io9 co-founder Charlie Jane Anders and I were inspired by Kathy Keeton, whose groundbreaking magazine 'Omni' combined coverage of real science with science fiction. But what you probably don't know is how unlikely it was that io9 ever succeeded at all.

The way SC does it is a little more prolific -- like Charlie does it. The Florida State offense was a four-man, Purdue-looking offense -- nickel and dime, nickel and dime, nickel and dime, and before you know it, you've got a lot of yards.

This coaching staff has allowed us to grow. We didn't have that leadership last year. Charlie Manuel and his group have been as inspiring as they can be. Last year, guys went out and put a lot more pressure on themselves in situations like these.

A lot of guys look forward to the spotlight being on them. So guys like myself and Nate Robinson, Charlie Villanueva did a great job there tonight. Dwight Howard is known in this league. Everybody out here is just looking to be known as one of the next players to be great in this league.

The Republicans need all the entertainment help they can get. When Charlie Daniels was one of your convention headliners, you know you need some serious help.

This is vintage Charlie Rangel. He's adept at distortion and his proposed draft isn't meant to improve the military but to create a Vietnam era military of draftees. Anyone who knows anything about the military knows that conscription brings about negative results.

They're not sure what they want to do yet. Mayumi is thinking about medicine, Charlie is thinking about law. But he just turned 13, so we'll see what happens,

There's been great history and tradition involved in this rivalry over the years, and I know many people agreed with Charlie Weis this week when he talked about how revered the relationship with Navy has been from the Notre Dame standpoint. These are games that all of us will look forward to in the seasons to come.

There's Charlie Parker and there's Miles, there's Trane. I'm none of those guys, so why am I beating myself up trying to find the lost chord all the time?

It was really huge. If we didn't have Charlie coming back for his fifth year, it puts our offensive line in a really bad predicament.

It was a retrospective comment based on issues which arose last year and Charlie gave an honest opinion. I think the Twickenham crowd have been outstanding in the last six months and really got behind the side in the autumn internationals. I know the England support will be right behind Charlie Hodgson and the whole team this weekend.

It's okay, I'm still happy. Charlie was very good with a really good score. I shot 66 which wasn't good enough, I guess. I had birdie chances on the last two holes but didn't make them.

It's not the same camp without Charlie yelling at us.

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.

It's a very highly competitive division and is only going to get better because these kids are so young. We liked Charlie Frye when we did the evaluations on him last year.

It's been a difficult time for this broadcast. We've been dealing with a very painful situation, and we're grateful for all the help we've been getting from Charlie and Elizabeth and Bob.

Dahl was a very shrewd cookie. He was an expedient writer who would use anything to make an impact in a book. He saw what worked; his books are full of effects and good scenes. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , there are fantastic scenes of demolishing this person, getting rid of that person - all very high-powered stuff.

The next Charlie Parker is out there somewhere. He is not in one of these schools. He is not getting any of these grants. This music desperately needs to be subsidized so that the people who are trying to do something and have no access can have access to something. I was on one of the National Endowment Panels some years ago and it was an eye-opener to actually witness the selection process in operation.

The news on Ben is very good, but it's good that we have Tommy Maddox and Charlie Batch. As of now, Charlie is the starter by default.

Then I talked to coach Charlie Weis and he said that he wanted to offer me. But, they want to recruit me as a wide receiver. I don't know, I'm pretty set on quarterback. It's still in the air.

The nylon-string guitar has no more powerful advocate on the current jazz scene than Ken Hatfield, whose virtuosic fingerstyle technique is matched by an exceptional compositional gift and who succeeds better than most at stretching the boundaries of his instrument while playing and writing music that feels as friendly and naturally straight-ahead as anything by Charlie Byrd or Wes Montgomery.

Everyone has input on offense, although Charlie (Weis) is the general and I'm the captain. I deliver whatever message Charlie wants to get across.

It's definitely a Charlie Brown tree. There are only so many things that can be done with it.

It's been tough on us all, but especially on Charlie since he wasn't able to wrestle. Now that he's back, Charlie is dedicating the rest of the season to the memory of Cathy.

I've had Greg and Charlie since seventh grade, so that's all I've known as a coach.

I want to say something about two wrestlers we have, Charlie Johnson and Brock Vaughn. Both of them have sacrificed many times for the team, moved up to wrestle. They do whatever we want for the team, they?re team players.

They couldn't run the football. Their only touchdown came on a blown coverage by the Carolina Panthers. Everybody questioned what would happen without Charlie Weis and if this is any indicator of it, it is going to be a tough season. Tom Brady at the Super Bowl was talking about it last year with us privately before the game and he was nervous about it. You could clearly tell that he was worried about going into this season without Charlie Weis.
