Dave Quotations

I like 'The Usual Suspects'. Great film. I also like 'Scarface', films like that. Lots of gangster films. I really like watching all kinds of films, dramas, romance. I'll watch comedies. I like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle. I'd like to meet them.

A lot like Dave Matthews or John Mayer, I kind of stick with the acoustic genre.

Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids... I didn't have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that's what I gravitated to.

The secret to my 5 o'clock shadow is a little device called the George Michael 3000 Custom Beard Trimmer and Personal Massager. Just kidding. I actually shave every morning, and thanks to my vast knowledge of Eastern philosophy and mysticism, I will my facial hair to grow to the exact same length each day. Dave Grohl taught me that one.

I've always liked and appreciated storytellers like Garry Shandling and Bill Cosby - more long-form comedy. So starting in San Francisco, watching all these great comics - Patton Oswalt, Dave Chappelle - you get to see them a bunch, and you go, 'Wow, this is where I need to be.'

We had not had time to establish ourselves as a double act before Ernie joined the Merchant Navy. I teamed up with the brother of the late Dave Morris.

My first encounter with a Kelly was not on a musical scale. It was from primary school. Dave and I went to primary school together and we were like boy scouts.

I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.

The group started getting bigger and bigger, so Al started replacing Brian on the road, and then finally there was a big flare-up with Dave Marks and he left the group.

The great 'New York Times' columnist Dave Anderson famously slept one year in a child's race-car bed. There he was, Pulitzer Prize and all, snoring as his feet dangled over the rear tires of Lightning McQueen.

Dave Van Ronk, for those who don't know him - probably most don't know - was a folk singer. He's kind of the biggest person on the scene in 1961 in the folk revival in Greenwich Village, biggest person on the scene until Bob Dylan showed up.

I'm a real genre jumper, but all good music belongs to the same family. I love Dave Sitek, a producer I've been working with a lot since I moved to L.A. He will change the game.

I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.

Dave Camp has been very much influenced by, and often guided by, the radicalization of the Republican Party... and too often failed to speak out.

He comes to London and gets a job in a nightclub, a gay club, where he's known as Straight Dave by the bar staff - and no one believes he's as straight as he claims to be. He meets the daughter of the club manager, and he has an affair with her.

I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.

My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks.

Farm Aid was started in 1985 by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews as a concert to support small local farms in the U.S.

I can tell you who I'd like to work with as far as rock legends. Definitely Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. Of course Linkin Park. Actually, I already worked with Travis Barker on a couple of things. Gotta let the drummer get some. Possibly Paramore, Hayley Williams.

For tech, I like the 'DailySearchCast', 'TWiT' and anything Veronica Belmont does on CNET. I think Perez Hilton is a riot, and the rest of my consumption is by people: Folks like Dave Winer, Fred Wilson, Mark Cuban, Brian Alvey, Jeff Jarvis, Xeni Jardin, etc.

When we run out of them upstairs, I've been known to appropriate some from our greenroom, pocketing a few with one hand as I smile and greet our guests with the other. One time, Dave Zinczenko of 'Eat this, Not That!' fame, busted me in the act. The cookies apparently fall in the 'not that' category. I made a note of it.

The Dave Clark Five had more appearances on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' than The Beatles.

We can't thank Dave enough. He could call me if my wife was about to have a baby and tell me he needed tonight for his show and I'd find some way to get her to let me head to New York.

There's also a subplot about a guy who manages pop groups. Dave is a very ambitious boy, and he gets offered an audition but only wants to do it on his terms and conditions. He wants to maintain his integrity.

There's a lot of Dave mania when I speak.

Working on the Dave Chappelle show was amazing.

Phish and Dave Matthews really know their audiences and really treat them well.

I do notice a lot of people who want to shock to get laughs. It's such a tricky thing; you don't want to make rules about it. There's nobody more hilarious than Dave Attell, and he'd break every rule you set up. But he's funny.

'Human' was controversial within The Killers way before it was controversial to the rest of the world! It caused some problems within the band. Not to throw anybody under the bus, but it was pretty much me and Dave against Mark and Ronnie for a little while. We were standing up for the song.

I have this image in my head of me in the house I grew up in, and hearing this incredible music on the television show, going over to it, and there's Jon Hendricks, Dave Lambert, and Annie Ross. It knocked me out of my socks, and I'm still in flight.

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.

Louie is hugely talented. But I get very annoyed at the way the media... say, 'Louis C.K. is the greatest stand-up in the world.' He's not the greatest stand-up in the world. He's not funnier than Dave Attell.

What's funny in 'The Mayor of MacDougal Street' is how Dave Van Ronk talks a lot about the time and how exciting it was and how electric it was.

Dave Herman as Michael Bolton is one of my favorite performances ever.

We are pleased to have Dave join our board. His views and experience as a business leader are exactly what we need to forge long-term relationships in the business community.

There are certain players who I think haven't progressed, and we need those players to grow. Put on top of that that we have a slew of young players coming into this thing, and I think Dave just wanted to make the decision to get the best person we can to help these guys continue to develop and evolve. Some can make the argument we didn't do that this year.

'Where The Wild Things Are,' I think I could have written on my own. When I brought Dave Eggers on, I already had 60 pages of notes. I technically could have, but I don't think I was ready to. I needed him to be there and help me.

What makes Dave so strong is his understanding of training and willingness to pay the price He has given up the other sports and focuses on running now. It's a little too early to talk about what he's destined to do. Later on this season we'll have a better idea. He's doing some advanced workouts and we will have to see how his body reacts.

What's special is the great tradition in our program. To be in the same fraternity as Dave Gunther - and surpass him - is simply great.

What's perfect about our relationship is that I've known Dave for two years now, and I've never once been disappointed or felt like he let me down or did something I disapproved of.

I'm Dave Chappelle and I'm a chronic masturbator.

We've tried to get some real definitive response out of Dave and have yet to.

We were hoping to define an era and a community without being too lecturing - to show people having a good time. On camera and off, Dave is charming. I thought it would be good to follow him around with a camera because he generates so much warmth.

We have repeatedly tried to get Dave to figure out what he'd like to do with this stuff and it hasn't really gone anywhere.

When I left Bradford and got a phone call from Dave Parnaby asking 'did I want to come back in?', I was delighted to accept. The whole buzz at the club at the moment is great for someone like me who is still learning and wanting to hopefully go into management in my own right at some point.

Success is a pile of failure that you are standing on.

Work is a surefire money-making scheme.

Luc himself has had discussions with (general manager Dave Taylor) and said he was disappointed. But what else can we do? He has put in a lot of years, and given a lot of great moments to Kings fans. So it would be nice to see him finish the season playing.

On a personal level, that's not the kind of situation I want to be in, having to relearn someone or have someone learn me at this point in my career. But this is one of those nothing-you-can-do-about-it situations. ... The priority is and the important part is Dave is OK.

On a college scale, he said he looked like a seven on his way to becoming a 10. Dave hasn't even tapped into his full potential yet.

Of course, I know about Bo Diaz - he's from Venezuela! ... I know all about the players from Venezuela - Luis Aparicio, Dave Concepcion, Andres Galarraga, the Big Cat. It's a big deal when any player from Venezuela makes it to the major leagues. But the idea is to stay there, and I'm a long way from that.

Music was in the air when I was growing up. My siblings Katy, Dave and Phil were musical; my dad worked in inner-city New York where a musical revolution was taking place - folk music, rock n' roll, gospel music. My sister taught me to sing. My brothers taught me to play.

My hat's off to Dave and all of his kids. He's worked really hard and built a pretty good program. He deserves this.

My favorite memory of Dave was up in Duluth when he had, like, 27 in the second half. It was just crazy watching that. He was just going off. You just sat there in awe.

New Orleans and its music were meant to be. We couldn't ask for a better symbol of hope than the houses that are beginning to come out of the ground in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village. The hard work of Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and the New Orleans affiliate has made it possible for others, like Dave Matthews Band, to support the project. On behalf of Habitat for Humanity International, we thank Dave Matthews Band for this most generous and sustaining contribution.

I would rather have anybody else shooting that last shot than him. But Dave (Pak) played him real well on that last play. A contested shot is what you want and thank goodness it didn't go in.

I would describe his shot as kind of a corkscrew. It's kind of a screwball that has a rainbow arc. I think it's one of the top three ugliest forms on the team, including myself. I think Dave Bliss has a pretty ugly shot, too.

I grew up in San Diego watching Dave Winfield, ... In '95, when I got called up, there he was -- my teammate. That was a pretty big thrill.

I don't know anybody who didn't love Dave Brown. He was a special guy: a special player and a special person. He was a great guy to have around.

I did some research and tried to pull out some old, classic Van Halen that they had not played in 10 or 15 years. I think that was Sammy's mistake. I he didn't want to do the Dave stuff.

I don't know what to make of it, exactly, but I am so for it, ... I am in love with it. If Spike and Dave do not do this movie, now, I would just as soon not see any version of it ever get made.

I am going to resign. The only way Dave can serve is if I resign, short of confirmation. I would not want to keep Dave from serving on the board.

CARE is heartened by the support of Dave Matthews Band and their fans. Together, we can contribute to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability in Sri Lanka, ... Rebuilding communities and livelihoods from scratch cannot occur in a matter of months. It will take years of hard work and commitment. In doing so, it's imperative to incorporate the wishes and protect the rights of people of all ethnicities whose lives have been turned upside down.

I love Dave Eggers. I hate Dave Eggers. If I could become any other living writer, I would answer faster than anyone else in the room, 'Dave Eggers.'

I have a lot of respect for Jim. He's a great manager. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was very successful there to team up with Dave again.

I have been disappointed in (engineer) Dave Carlson's performance and leadership

I have a 100 individual memories of the beauty of John's play. One stands out for the sheer perfection of his skill. It was a charity match which, but for that one second, has faded completely from my memory. The ball came to him at speed on a wet, slippery surface but with the slightest of adjustments, one that was almost imperceptible, he played it inside a full-back and into the path of an on-running winger. I looked at our coach Dave Sexton on the bench and he caught my glance and shook his head as if to say 'fantastic'. Haynes could give you goose bumps on a wet night in a match that didn't matter.

I felt Dave could have gone two or three ways with this decision. Hockey is a difficult business. I think he could have made a strong decision in a number of ways but I'm comfortable where he's gone.

I first became familiar with Dave Eggers's work when I was living in San Francisco and enrolled at USF's MFA Program.

If CBS and NBC continue in their current models, Dave will beat Jay, ... and I also don't think it matters. Dave's place in talk show history is secure no matter what happens.

I can't imagine Walton going through a year without playing Delhi, ... I was comparing our schedule to last year and I think our schedule is tougher this year and we're D. ... That's one thing when we decided to go D, I asked (Delhi coach and Section Four coordinator) Dave Kelly if we could still play Sidney, Unatego and Delhi, and he said they could arrange it.

Given the current state of publishing, I think it helps to have a brand name on the cover of your book. Comedians are proven commodities with built-in audiences. They may not have the writing chops of a Dave Eggers, but they're salacious and funny and self-reflective.

(Former Tigers pitcher) Dave Mlicki made $6.2 million last year. This year he's making $750,000. Good. The problem isn't that he took a huge cut. The problem is he was never worth $6 million.

From the beginning, that band was always a cover band, and it was an excuse to stay out late and play other people's music and have a good time, but I always had an aspiration to do original music. I jumped at the chance when Dave presented it to me.

For those who don't like Dave Letterman, there's Jay Leno; and for those who like neither, there's Craig Ferguson; and if you're still feeling undertained, there's George Lopez and Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel and - let's see, did we leave out a Jimmy?

Give the credit to Dave (Odom). I may have jumped on board, but as soon as I got here and had a talk with Dave, one of the first things he mentioned was the history and some of the things he thought we should do; I happened to agree, but it started with him.

He was a tremendous ambassador for the team. I think Dave Winfield said the right thing: He was the only player in the history of baseball everybody loved.

He went to the University of Michigan after the war and won the NCAA all by himself in match play, ... That's as big a thing as the national amateur. Dave can do it.

He got guys like Dave Bing to come to Syracuse at a time when the program was really down, ... He made me realize that the foundation for any good team is good players. There isn't a coach in the Hall of Fame who didn't have good players on his teams.

Having Dave in the lineup is huge. Not only is he a great player but he makes the other guys in the lineup better. Everyone sees better pitches when Dave is in there as a threat.

We suffered a setback and there were too many trades until Dave Taylor came along and Charlie Simmer.

We told Dave at the restaurant that Harris is really quick, and that he needed to stay low and attack at angles. We told him not to chase Harris around the mat. You have to give Harris credit though. He'd keep backing up and backing up and backing up, and then he'd hit a double leg that was quick and very deep.

Having a really solid drummer behind us gave us all a charge. Dave is just this gem in Pittsburgh, this national caliber drummer. We were very fortunate to have him. It's like playing a pickup basketball game with an NBA guy, it just forces you all to play better.

Hockey Canada believes in a safe environment for all players and commends commissioner Dave Branch and the Ontario Hockey League for its stance on hazing this past week,

He's fine. It's not an issue. I checked with him and Dave (Labossiere, the trainer). He was in no pain. He was just tight. He had a hard time getting loose.

He wasn't this thing that everybody always paints him to be. He wasn't a devil who got with Dave Matthews and changed everything. He's just a dude. He's completely natural. That threw me off and got me so excited.

He was putting too much pressure on himself. Instead of just being the best Dave Bullock he could be, he was trying to do so much more. He was blaming himself when things didn't go right. Whatever he was doing, he felt it wasn't good enough.

Heck gave us some problems. I thought maybe we needed to introduce David Patten to him at halftime so Dave would know who he was guarding.

He kind of does it all for them. I think David (Noel) matches up well with him. A lot of guys in their league are probably bigger '4' men that can't guard him, but Dave is an incredible athlete.

He let us know early on. We didn't talk to anybody else. The one thing we wanted to make sure was that Dave wanted the job. We agreed to let everything simmer before we started talking. Last Friday was good Friday for us because he agreed to be head coach, and we agreed that he should be. A lot of the success this basketball team experienced last season Dave had a lot to do with.

He let us know early on. The one thing we wanted to make sure was that Dave wanted the job.

Kevin is very comfortable on the court. He's been starting since he was a freshman. Dave and Brent played well for us, but it's an adjustment for them.

It actually played well. I give Dave Mellor and his staff a lot of credit for getting it in good shape. Certainly, it's not perfect, but how could it be?

I think what we need is somebody with Major League managing experience. This is just my opinion and Dave might think differently. And like I've said, it's his choice. But we've gone down the road last time with somebody who didn't have Major League managing experience.

I think that Dave Halle ought to be congratulated.

Late in the game I was joking around with Dave saying he was scared late in the game since the freshmen scored the last 29 points.

I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love talked trash about the fact that I hooped. I once stopped to say 'Hi' before a show, and as I walked away, Courtney yelled, 'Go play basketball with Dave Grohl!'

I think Dave wanted to get into another area of work, and Jim said, 'Why don't you try out at the News Dispatch,' and he did.

I think Dave might be able to say something funny about that.
