Dive Quotations

As much as I love to dive into the action early, I think the hero's journey is important - the idea that the reader needs to experience the protagonist's everyday life before you turn that world upside down.

The more I can make a person comfortable in their environment by taking my ego's hat off and leaving it at the door, then they can dive deep within themselves and we can pull out something interesting that people have never heard before. It's the stuff that's - that no one's ever heard before is really interesting.

I love dive bars, old movie theaters, live music and good food. The simplest things in life for me are the most important.

Whenever I have a few hours to dive into a book, I am happy.

I finally became a scuba diver at age 15 or so, and a couple of years after that, I attended a dive show that is held every year in Boston. It's the oldest one in the world and it's still going on - it's called the Sea Rovers.

I always think about the fact that PewDiePie, who has tens of millions of followers, started with zero. All of my favorite creators started with zero.

Luckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them! I'm off tour, so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay, I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up - I had to have them.

I'd visually have that idea. I'm diving off the end of the diving board. I'm not going to be worried about if I'm going to dive into a jellyfish or the water's going to be too cold or the boys are going to beat me. I'm just doing it. And if I do it, it's a good chance I'll make it.

We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive.

When he hit it, I had a good break on it. It seemed like one of those balls that kept going downward as I got closer, and then I was caught. I thought I'd have a chance to dive and catch it, but then as I did that, it pushed away from me.

She almost caught that ball. But we're taught not to dive down the line, especially in that situation. But that's hard to do. When you're taught to always go-go, it's hard to see the ball and think you can make a play on it and not try it. She was just hustling and being aggressive.

On ESPN, we're going to take a hard turn and really go deep into the X-and-O format of the game. We're going to have reports from the reporters every 20 minutes during the overlap time on ESPN, and we're going to dive in and dissect the game.

No one can understand my Mystery. The best you can do is to get immersed in it. It is no use your arguing about pros and cons; dive and know the depth; eat and know the taste.

My desire to dive with an oxygen cylinder was so intensive that I decided to use a trick. Registering as Helene Jacob, I lied about my age: instead of 1902, I wrote 1922 in the application forms.

From an early age, I had always loved drawing. Laying on the floor, in front of the fire, drawing from my imagination, marching soldiers, dive bombers, spaceships and monsters. Now, suddenly, I was drawing from real life!

He did that last dive flawlessly, but that's the one we need to change, and do 2½ twists instead to make it more difficult. If he decides to push the envelope and change those dives, I think he has a great shot at the 2008 Olympic Games.

With Mario, every time he goes and tries to dive or something, we're going to hold our breath. But he's 100 percent and playing well. He swung the bat well in spring training. Vega did also.

Here's what finally wrong: A local dive club in Omaha, Nebraska, goes to a local lake and does a fund-raiser and proudly presents DAN with a check for three hundred dollars and twenty-six cents. Sure this impacts the mission, because that's money you could've spent on other things.

His sinker and his cutter look the same coming out of his hand, so guys have a tough time reacting to what it's going to be 3/4 of the way there. They don't know if it's going to dive down and in or down and away.

He's a strong, good-sized kid. He doesn't come down easily. But we don't give him the ball a lot inside for 2-3 yard dive plays. We prefer giving him the ball off-tackle where he can get into the open field. Once he's in the clear, he's a vapor trail. He's gone. I don't remember seeing anybody who has caught him from behind.

We may have to break off this live shot, ... Bye -- we've got to dive for vehicles.

He conveys the poetry, the natural rhythms, of his characters' speech. Everything - emotion, movement, thought, intention - is inherent in that rhythm. Actors sometimes like to dissect, to analyze, to do all those things actors are taught to do. But those things don't put me closer to this work's heart. I have to surrender all that. It's like going to a lake or a swimming pool. You just have to dive in, to immerse yourself. Working in his plays requires a different kind of skill. It's as if you would become a talking drum.

It looks like a lot of guys in here don't want to play the game the right way. ... I want to see the team that I saw last year. We played hard. Always dive for everything.

I will spare you a gushy description of the dive itself, except to say that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.

I teach in M.F.A. programs now, and I think that's a great way to become a novelist, but I mourn that Pete Dexter and Joan Didion's route is maybe less likely because there are fewer of those jobs. I always liken it to playing piano in some great dive jazz bar. You didn't pick the songs, you played what people asked for, but you got your chops.

I think Google is going to blow them out of the water. So they need to dive into some niche and develop something other than just blog search.

I think I was trying to control the first two dives too much and didn't let it go enough. My reverse dive in the fourth round was the one I was most happy with because I had struggled with it in practice.

When I get moved to write a story, I don't question the story. I dive right in, and I try to ignore the voices that are chattering away at me: 'You can't do that', 'You shouldn't do that'. I just sort of leap and take a chance and go for it.

We moved at that fast pace in camp. We got a lot of things done. It wasn't like that first year when you're putting in a new system, where it was like, 'This goes in today.' You will have some mess-ups along the way, but overall it gives you the chance to, I guess, dive deeper into the offense. And it's quicker. That's what makes it fun as a player.

We missed an awful lot of tackles last year and that's one thing that coach (Marvin) Burke and the defensive staff have spent a lot of time on, helping guys learn how to tackle. Last year, we had kids diving on the ground and trying to dive at people. You've got to play this game on your feet.

We expected to move at a fast pace, and that's how coach Fox likes to practice. That's what's fun. ... You will have some mess-ups along the line, but you can move at a faster pace, and dive deeper into the offense quicker. And that's what makes it fun as a player.

We could use more food, if anyone wants to donate. We pay for everything, and have help from businesses. The dive center doesn't make any money from this.
