Eric Quotations

Eric Clapton always wanted to come out onstage with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder.

Michael Brown happened to be black. Trayvon Martin happened to be black. Eric Garner was a black man. So this pattern continues over and over.

For my 23rd birthday, I received a nylon string guitar. I told myself that if I could play Eric Clapton's 'Tears In Heaven,' then I could play the guitar. I practised every chance I got, driving my housemates insane, until several weeks later I had a shaky version of the song down. I wrote my first song on the guitar a few weeks after that.

'Bunk' is a comedy game show where, each week, three of my favorite comedians compete in a series of bizarre and meaningless challenges all for my entertainment. Ethan T. Berlin and Eric Bryant created 'Bunk.'

My guitar heroes are Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and people like that - so I've tried to make an album of Robert Johnson covers that, well, while not totally faithful for blues purists, is faithful for people like me that grew up with the '60s and the electric blues-rock versions of Johnson's songs.

A vote for Eric Cantor is a vote for open borders. A vote for Eric Cantor is a vote for amnesty.

When I first came into the league, I was with Tim Dwight in San Diego, and a guy named Eric Parker, who really showed me the work ethic it takes to be an NFL receiver, and I've really tried to keep that with me.

Eric McCormack is directing talent waiting to happen.

I did tons of theater in school, and then when I was 16 and got my driver's license, I started driving to Los Angeles, along with my friend Eric Stoltz, who was a year ahead of me and was doing the same thing. So we had the same manager, and we started auditioning for things and doing commercials when we were 16.

The resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder is met with both pride and disappointment by the Civil Rights community. We are proud that he has been the best Attorney General on Civil Rights in U.S. history and disappointed because he leaves at a critical time when we need his continued diligence most.

The horrific cases in Ferguson, in Staten Island with the death of Eric Garner, and all across the country serve as stark reminders that we must have a say in who polices us, and how that policing is done. We must, we must, let our voices be heard on Election Day.

I went to London and performed in Eric Clapton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'll work with him any time he asks me.

I grew up reading genre writers, and to the degree that Eric Ambler and Graham Greene are genre writers, I'm a genre writer.

Eric Bryant and Ethan Berlin, the creators of 'Bunk,' asked me to come get involved in very early process when they wanted to make a game show.

I remember seeing Eric Cantona play for Manchester United. The way he used to control games was special to watch.

I had never been allowed to go on tour with my husband George Harrison, so had no idea what to expect when I left him to join Eric Clapton on his 1974 U.S. tour.

Well, the real Eric Bogosian is pretty self-conscious of himself.

I think Eric Bana would be a good Superman. He's got that look. I think he'd be a great Superman.

I decided early on that I wanted to be Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - not George Harrison.

It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do.

I'm not really into alternative country - I'm into Patsy Cline, who lived down the street from where I lived, and old Dolly Parton records, Kitty Wells and that old stuff. I like country music. I also like Eric Church, who has a great new sound but also holds onto that old sound.

In Staten Island, when you have video showing the alleged chokehold used on Eric Garner, why not go to trial and have the officer(s) explain the tape, and then this jury can determine guilt or innocence? The tape should guarantee that there should be a trial.

Myself, Eric Wareheim, and Jason Woliner decided to start a Food Club where the three of us go to restaurants with a couple of other people. The three of us are the captains of the Food Club, so we have to wear the captains' hats.

I never give anyone advice: it can backfire horribly. In the 1950s, Eric Morecambe told Ken Dodd to get his teeth fixed. But those teeth turned out to be one of Dodd's big selling points.

My favorite type of pet has always been a dog. They're loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, 'The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.' Funny thought.

When I got out of high school, I was in a blues band. It was the kind of music I was interested in, and listening to, mostly because it was becoming a vehicle for a generation of guitarists - like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Mike Bloomfield. And that's what I wanted to be, principally: a guitar player.

The person I have admired the most in comedy terms would be Eric Morecambe, who is my total hero.

I just wonder where I was when the talent was being given out, like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton... oh, there's many more! I wouldn't want to be like them, you understand, but I'd like to be equal, if you will.

I've heard the stories. Like, Eric Clapton said he wanted to burn his guitar when he heard Jimi Hendrix play. I never understood that because, when I went and saw a great drummer or heard one, all I wanted to do was practice.

I tended to lean towards the guys who both sang and played, such as Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Steve Wariner... And at the other end of the spectrum, I had Eric Clapton in a rock and blues sense, jazz guys such as Tal Farlow and Les Paul... Then Chet Atkins-type stuff.

My father, Eric Trethewey, is a poet, so I had one right inside the house. And on long trips, he'd tell me, if I got bored in the car, to write a poem about it. And I did find that poetry was a way for me, I think as it for a lot of people, to articulate those things that seem hardest to say.

My organization, National Action Network (NAN), was on the ground talking and meeting with people in Ferguson, just as we did in Staten Island following Eric Garner's death.

Working with Eric is terrific because not only is he a great director, but he's also a great actor.

We're exploring an opportunity for Eric to play for the Texans. If all sides can see eye-to-eye, we'll make it happen. But everyone has to see eye-to-eye.

Through great collaboration between our Playhouse Disney team, The Baby Einstein Company, Eric Weiner and Curious Pictures, we've struck a chord with this landmark series.

We know what Eric should be able to do. Anthony has really improved. He was throwing his breaking ball over for strikes. They both looked good.

Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.

We've got more than myself and Eric playing big in the tournament. That's the thing in college basketball -- when confidence comes, you play better.

The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope,

We were trying for that very hard, but part of the credit is due to Eric Jacobson, whose real talents as a producer were considerable and still are.

Oklahoma is very beautiful, and Eric loves beauty, but he already has that in you.

And you are mine, and you will be mine. They will not get you. - Eric from Dead and Gone

Eric moved the broom experimentally and made an attempt to sweep the glass into the pan while it lay in the middle of the floor. Of course, the pan slid away. Eric scowled. I'd finally found something Eric did poorly.

[Eric:] "I'm hoping that the more you see me, the more I'll grow on you." [Sookie:] "Like a fungus?

You trust me?" Eric sounded surprised. "Yes." "That's . . . crazy, Sookie.

Sookie," Eric said. I didn't think he'd heard a word. "Yield to me." Well, that was pretty direct.

Sookie: Is Eric around?" Pam: "He is enthralling the vermin,

How is Eric?' 'Very tightly wound. Plus, a lot of stuff happened that he'll tell you about.' 'Thanks for the warning. I'll go to the house now. You're my favorite breather.' 'Oh. Well ... great.' She hung up.

I hurt with you. I bled with you - not only because we're bonded but because of the love I have for you. -- Eric Northman

Sookie, my little bullet-sucker" Eric, my big bullshitter

It was beautiful Eric, who desired me, who was hungry for me, in a world that often let me know it could do very well without me.

Ha," I said. "Oh, ha-ha. Yeah, ’cause they love me. You see how many vampires are up here? Zero, right?" One," said Eric, stepping out of the stairwell.

She killed Lorena in a fight?" Eric's grin grew even broader. He was as proud as if he'd heard his firstborn reciting Shakespeare.

Eric, what are you doing?" "Snuggling." "Get out of my bed!" -Sookie Stackhouse, Eric Northman

I am here," Eric said. "And I am here." I was a little amused at Eric's phone answering technique. "Sookie, my little bullet-sucker," he said, sounding fond and warm. "Eric, my big bullshitter.

Eric,” she said, “maybe someday one of the waitresses will get pregnant, and we can go to a baby shower!” “That would be something to see,” said Eric

Eric was incensed, to use a good entry from my word of the day Calender. In fact his eyes were almost throwing sparks he was so angry. "This woman has been mine, and she will be mine" he said in tones so definite I thought about checking my rear end for a brand.

Come on, lover, let's have a look," Eric said, giving me a quick kiss. He jumped off the back porch with me still attached to him—like a large barnacle

Softie was not a word you could use in the same sentence as Eric.

Eric followed Vlad Tepes’s stubby finger, identifying me as the future Happy Meal. Then he stared at Dracula, looking up from his kneeling position. I couldn’t read his face at all, and I felt a stirring of fear. What would Charlie Brown have done if the Great Pumpkin wanted to eat the little red-haired girl?

I'd just like to know what a cop WOULD have to do to get indicted - and what good are cop cameras since Eric Garner IS on tape?

We are all excited to see Eric Crouch and watch him compete, but that's a position he's going to have to earn.

Having a stage name is like having a Superman complex. I go into the telephone booth as Eric Bishop and come out as Jamie Foxx.

We really knocked the snot -- for lack of a better word -- out of each other on Friday,'' Chiefs defensive end Eric Hicks said.

We had no idea this was going to occur. But Eric pitched 14 games last year and hadn't pitched in the second half, so we're all smart enough to know you don't know what he's got. He gave me no indication anything was wrong. We made the trade to shore up the bullpen and provide a little bit of security in case something like this happened.

When the movie was done, Number Five was crated up. Eric took him over to Germany; displayed him over there because Germans really liked this movie. It was very popular with them.

When I hit that note - if I hit it correctly - I'm just as important as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or anybody. Because when I hit that note, I hit the umbilical cord of anybody who is listening.

There are still many great surviving talents: Stevie Winwood. Another great talent is Stevie Wonder. Another one is Eric Clapton. Another one is Phil Collins. Eminem, Kanye West I like all those people.

Like Ashley, Eric and Rich can both make it to states if they play like they can at districts..

Mike was outstanding. We asked him to do a lot, and he came through. He has been playing good hockey for us. Eric also made some big saves. We needed those two guys in the final period.

'Modern Family' is one of my favorite shows on television right now. I just think that show is so brilliantly done. It's so fun, I love it. Eric Stonestreet I could just sit and watch forever. They're all great. That would be on the top of my list.

My friend had just been stabbed, and I wanted to talk with Eric McGee about the whole incident. Nobody but McGee could have witnessed it.

My 40 years with CBS News have been a fascinating voyage of discovery. Thirty-seven years with '60 Minutes' have given me the chance to travel the globe, meet and report on world issues, and broadcast what I've learned to an audience at home that had long trusted CBS News reporters like Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid.

Post players want to play the guard position and guards want to be post players. Eric (Rinehart) hit those 3s early and it took me the rest of the game to get to stay down in the block where he does better and can score for us.

Nick will be an outstanding player for us and I look forward to his presence on the field. Eric and Ben both come off an outstanding season where they helped Mount St. Joseph win the Baltimore City championship.

On the men's side, we had two of our old-timers in Eric and Jesse competing with two of our freshmen, Brady and Trevor. Jesse competed unattached tonight. He's coming off a foot injury, and he's just starting to come back. Eric was just tired after football. We've been kind of slow with him coming back. But he will be there pretty quick. His mark tonight isn't much off his personal best right now. Brady and Trevor both have a couple of events they need to work on. Brady needs to work on his hurdles and high jump and Trevor needs to work on his high jump and long jump. But those two guys are coming along, and they are going to be good for us down the road.

I got to thank my brother Eric for the throw, ... When someone comes through like that you have to put it in the goal. I knew it was going in.

I did receive a call from Eric today to discuss a few things. But I think the contents of the conversation should remain private.

I'd like to be able to design as easily as if I was using Photoshop. I'd like to be able to create a multicolumn layout and control source order without having to do advanced mathematics or hire Eric Meyer or Dan Cederholm to figure out the CSS, because I can't.

I'd done some work with Bill in the past. And Bill hired me! He came back and said 'yeah, I'll direct this ... and I really want Eric and Andrea to do the script.

Basically, the chamber and the economic development office shared a leadership position when Eric Davis was president, and in doing so they also shared in the cost of that position,

I have a hard time talking about myself. It was much more than just an individual, ... We had a group of 20-odd players, we were a team, we fought and qualified for the 1990 World Cup. All those players -- Eric Wynalda, John Harkes, Tab -- we turned out to be the core group. We sacrificed a lot to make sure that soccer took off. We played in front of maybe 5,000 fans on a good night. But I enjoyed every minute. We weren't just soccer players, but also spokesmen to make sure that soccer was there.

I had Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard on my show long before the general public caught up to them, ... I also had Eric Clapton and Cream on the program. They were real loud.

I feel sorry for the guys who got bumped out because of Eric and I, but the season didn't end last week. Nobody was locked in until that last putt went in.

I did it with Rip ( Richard Hamilton ), Eric Snow . How many times do you get to see your team? And he's so current. He played with all those guys.

He is being compared to Eric Steinbach. In 35 years, I've never had a kid who was recruited so much. He has size and character and athletic ability.

He has the best game awareness I've ever seen in a high school football player. Eric really picks up everything from knowing what down it is to how far he needs to go to get the first down. He's our field general.

He has the amazing respect of at least one man (morning line-maker Eric Donovan).

He'll help immensely. Eric gives stability back there. It allows the young guys to go back where they are more comfortable and we're not asking too much of them.

He loves his son dearly. I know they have a special relationship. Eric has a great family, a great wife, Mia, and their youngest son, Elijah (7). It's very loving, caring, supportive. It's a great fit for Minneapolis to get the Bieniemy family up there.

There is no competition between me and Eric Snow. We're working together to win basketball games. The only thing that matters is that after each game the Cleveland Cavaliers will have won and the other team loses.

What we had to do in doubles was play basic, solid tennis. The main thing with a lot of new kids is they want to hit winners or they want to push the ball. You need to be consistently firm. That?s what Eric does well, and that?s what Matt Dunne did in the second set.

He's getting a pulse. Eric is in the process of evaluating whether he will continue to campaign for the June primary. We believe it's very important to have input from key conservatives.

We may spend a lot of time working the second quarterback with the first group. I think we know what Eric is.

We have to adjust, certainly. That's one guy we couldn't afford to lose. What Eric brought was athleticism and speed.

We look for Huff and Henderson to do good this year. But we don't want them to be our only weapons. We've got a lot of guys we can rely on. Richard and Eric have shown they are capable. We don't want teams to be able to key on just one or two players.

He wasn't flashy, kind of a quiet guy, but with a deep, deep resolve. He had the heart of a champion, with all the things you think a great athlete should be. He was just the best. If there is a prototype for the Michigan man, I can't imagine anyone being more than that than Eric Namesnik. He will be missed for a long time.

He was enthusiastic and wanted to see if he could pitch. But as you get closer reality sets in. He realized it was questionable that he comfortably compete and comfortably be Eric Gagne.

I also know that in the second movie, the sequel, Eric made some huge advances with the robot suit. That just made it even better. You put the suit on and moved your arms then the robot's arms would move in sync with yours.

He was able to create this style of music that is highly valued by blues aficionados but also by the general public in part thanks to Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the like.
