Jon Quotations

'The Replacements' is where I met Jon Favreau, and we just clicked like, you know, like kids at a camp. And he wrote my next movie, which was 'Made.'

The industry does have some influence on who gets other awards. With the Mercury Prize, they don't. Jon comes from the business, but his heart is still very much in the music. Currently, we have about 12 major names that have said they want to be a part of MUDDA.

I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it.

I have a feeling he felt Jon Voight had run away with the film, which he didn't, though he was brilliant in it, in a much less easy part. I just don't know what had got into him, but something had.

Working with Jon Hamm was super-fun because he's a brilliant actor and he's very kind. I would hang around sets for scenes that I wasn't even in because I wanted to watch how he worked.

We have defined these characters - people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one - much like when they see Jon Hamm's hair when it isn't slick - they say, 'Wait a minute, you're all 2010!'

I remember an interview so terrible with CNN's Jon Klein, I nearly blurted out, 'Forget it, I am a loser!' But I didn't need to say it. My face and posture did.

I actually think I need 'Homeland' rehab. And that Ray Donovan. I think I've watched every episode more than once. Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Wright and Jon Voight have made me fall in love with acting again.

I do remember the whole thing as being very argumentative, hot blooded... a permanent state of friction between Jon and Chris, Chris and me, me and Jon.

I watch Jon Stewart because I need to laugh. Otherwise, life gets too serious. Besides that, I don't watch any news.

I'd say Jon Stewart has remained funny the entire time. Jon always makes it funny first. And he's just, he's talking about serious things, but in a funny way. Other comedians will talk about serious things in a serious way, and then you don't know what's going on.

I'm touched by Jon Hendricks. I want some of my music to reflect that. And when I write, you're going to hear it.

We are thrilled that Jon Batiste is joining 'The Late Show' family of products. For my money, nobody plays like Jon Batiste. And you can trust me, because it is my money.

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.

The one show that I will continue to be a guest on is 'The Daily Show' with Jon Stewart, if he'll have me. It's not competitive with CNN and it's too much fun.

My favorite off-camera memory of Jon Stewart is watching him jump from the second level of a tuna tower into the waters off Grand Cayman.

Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert. Those are the guys I look at who are telling me pretty much the truth. And they throw humor into it which makes it much more interesting to listen to.

I'm impressed with how 'Newsweek's' outstanding staff has continued to put out a lively, well-informed magazine after the departure of their tireless editor, Jon Meacham.

The first time I met Jon Stewart was at the press conference that Comedy Central held to announce Jon would be the new host of 'The Daily Show,' which back then was not called 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.'

It doesn't occur to me that I don't drive a cool car until I hang out with Jon Hamm, who picks me up in what looks like a Transformer, and I think, 'Oh, that's what movie stars are driving. I guess I'm not a movie star.'

When you saw Jon Lovitz or Dana Carvey or Phil Hartman doing something, they were acting. It was real acting. Like, they were acting like that person. They weren't like - it wasn't even like they were really trying to go for a laugh, especially in Phil Hartman's case.

We stuck through. With Jon making all his shots we knew we were going to have to withstand it, and my teammates and I were able to fight through at the end. This was just a great game, there isn't much else to say but that.

We start a lot form Tom's feet at center back. Stefan takes over at the midfield and controls things from that point on. He's more or less the distribution source for everything. And Jon and Steve are just really solid workhorses in the midfield. They could play in every minute of every game and through overtime. They're just real fit specimens.

With what Doncaster offer and the way they attack, we feel Jon is a stronger defensive option than Dave. It's all about timing as well - Jon wants to go out and prove a few critics wrong, but he knows he still has a few things to work on.

We know what Jon is capable of. What we were trying to do is take some of the burden off his shoulders.

We held Jon under his average both games this year and still came up short. We just didn't hit the shots down the stretch.

Liam (Smith) stepped up in the second half. That's kind of how he's played all year. Ben (Parker) played good defense, but his shot wasn't going in. Jon is the real quarterback of the team. He's a real point guard and he'd rather have the assist than the basket. Sometimes I wish he'd shoot more.

Louisville was bigger and more physical than us. Jon brings that for us now. Even if he doesn't get the rebounds, he's diving for balls and keeping other guys from getting them. He makes Mike and the rest of us play harder.

Louis had a phenomenal final four defensively. It seemed like he fed on it as the game went on. He made it hard for Jon to get the ball.

Lee had an injection on Friday and he won't be in until tomorrow. Dennis seems to be a bit better, but we'll take a closer look at him later in the week, while Jon probably needs a couple of days treatment and could probably do with the rest.

Senator Kennedy has been waiting for the right invitation. He's a huge fan of Jon Stewart and he's very much looking forward to this.

On a personal level, I've known Jon since his days back in the '80s as a staff member of the ACC. He's a guy who listens, processes information and then, I think, makes very good judgments in terms of the things we may be discussing at a particular point in time.

Most stand-ups, once they have done it, think of it as their default job. I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart still feels that way now. You are a stand-up first; other things come and go.

Most of us are sane enough not to carry out strange, intrusive thoughts. Jon McGee was not able to do that in the hotel room.

Obviously, it's good to still be here. Now it's a matter of finding ways to contribute any way I can. I'll try to help Carson out whenever I can, and I get a chance to learn from Jon and Carson. I want to get better. This is what I do. I love to do it. I work as hard as I can, and I'm just fortunate.

Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson have rejoined and gone off again and rejoined, but I've been there the whole time, and even though Alan White is the 'new' drummer, he has been there since 1972, so he also deserves the credit for being around for 20 years.

On the first day of practice the running game was a concern. But the running game is one of the areas that's probably improving the fastest on offense. I'm really fired up about Jon Cornish.

I would be absolutely honored if I made Jon Hamm crack, because he is uncrackable.

I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp.

I'd be surprised if Jon missed 12 pitches all night. His first-strike ratio was incredible. Those guys are horses. We have to do a better job of getting to them early.

I had a very good conversation with Jon Daniels and I will be talking with him soon to follow up on that. In the meantime, the Rangers remain of tremendous interest to us.

I can't imagine Jon Cryer performing with the New York Philharmonic isn't one of the signs of apocalypse.

I can't imagine doing what Jon had to do this year. It's hard enough to block defensive ends when you can use your hands. I don't know how he did it.

Founders are not people who walk away, leaving their babies with somebody else. Scott making an announcement like this is one thing and letting Jon run the company is another.

If it had been her on the chopping block, I would've faced the music and made it a tie again. That way me and Bobby Jon would've had to pull the bad rock.

I get most of my news from the Jon Stewart Daily Show. It's the most level commentary you can find. You have to laugh, because it's all so true. It's the closest thing to a counterculture.

He has paid all the applicable taxes, including U.S. capital gains taxes, ... There is a treaty. So while Jon Corzine is paying taxes here, Japanese investors who are investing in the U.S. are paying their taxes in Japan. And apparently the leadership in both countries felt there was a significant public policy reason to have that regime.

He drew a couple of those assignments, but it depended on the day. If we could keep him more on the attack, then we would, but Jon was always up for the challenge.

We're pretty young, but we had a good year. I was pleased with the effort our young guys put forward. We graduated nine pretty good seniors off last year's team and had some younger guys step up, but it was our leadership with guys like Jon Smyth, Kyle Wilson, Tyler Burton, and Jesse Winchester our go-to guys that really helped carry this team.

We are extremely excited to have Jon return to Brown, ... He is a great leader and will be a fine teacher for our players. Jon was an outstanding player with an incredible work ethic. He is a great role model for our team.

Good corners were going with the deep guys, so we've got to hit the underneath stuff. If teams give us the deep route, Jon can hit it, but well coached teams aren't going to give that to us.

He?s always been a tough kid, but now he?s anxious to get in there and fight, to open up and mix it up. And that approach has created more opportunities for Jon to score.

He was kind of in a daze in the first half. Someone snapped a finger, the hypnosis was over, and he was back to Jon Brockman.

He was one of the best outfielders that I've ever coached. He may be the hardest to replace, along with Ryan Hopkins. He was definitely a leader for us ... Jon just did that naturally.

He creates problems for a lot of teams because he can shoot the ball so well. One thing we've got to do is keep on working the ball. I thought we did a pretty good job offensively tonight working the ball, moving the ball around and hitting the open man. Jon was open quite a bit and we got him the ball.

Guys like Jon were here and working hard when it was not the most fashionable thing to play basketball here at BC. When you see us reach the Sweet Sixteen and advance in the rankings it's because of guys like Jon and others who put in their time and got the most out of their abilities day in and day out.

I would say we are much more on that side . . . The administration (of Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.) is supportive of new concepts and is looking for the implementation of HOT lanes sooner rather than later.

Jon wrestled hard and gave 110 percent and that's all you can ask of him, win or lose.

Jon would never talk about Britney's baby, ... But I see it as an example of our Hollywood limousine liberals dropping the ball on family values. Coming from South Carolina ... we don't knock up our pop stars.

Jon went at it like it was just another tournament and that's the key. It's tough to adjust to the finality of this tournament.

Jon was one of 14 forwards that we have now, and was the guy who probably was not going to play very much. It did not make any sense for us to carry his contract on our payroll.

Jon was a joy to work with last year and demonstrated a real passion for the music and genuine understanding of his job as host.

Jon takes a lot of pride in providing the best water possible and this has really been bothering him.

Jon Stewart is clearly an unusual figure. He might have said, 'If you want me, you've got to have me on my own terms'.

Jon stepped up. He made a statement about who he is. He could have gone the free agent route next year and potentially commanded more years and more money. That was less of a concern than his wanting to be here.

Jon starts off and on for us. He knows some of the players on the Georgia State team and went out to dinner with the goalkeeper.

Jon Scoffield was an incredible director and producer at ATV. I met him when I was 30 and he made great things happen in my career. He's still alive, but we're no longer in touch.

Jon really has to come to the conclusion that he wants to do this.

Jon put it together today. He hit to all fields.

Jon produced it. He did a very nice job, actually, ... Fly Me To The Moon.

Jon pitched well. He gave up a two-run homer in the first but he settled down after that and kept us in the game.

Jon pitched a very good game, but there were two innings when we gave them five outs. We're a pretty young team, and we were missing a couple of players today, but that's no excuse for mental errors. We have to improve in that area, and it's my job to see that we do.

Jon Miller would be amazing for Yahoo because he is extremely good at building display advertising businesses and buying young startups.

Jon Lewis and Stuart Broad have both shown fine early-season form for their counties and I'm sure they will be keen to make the most of this opportunity against Sri Lanka.

Jon knows and I know he can make plays, and he knows his compadres can, too.

Jon keeps speaking about how his offense needs some spark,

Jon is young, but he has the qualities that you look for in a leader, ... He has the respect of everyone in the organization, the business department, the baseball people, the veteran scouts. He's going to be a great leader.

Jon is widely admired and respected by the best scientists. His models and analyses are innovative and credible. He is tackling some of the toughest issues of climate change.

Jon is thrilled to be coming here to get a Penn State education, and we are just as excited. Jon is a quality lefty who has a 90 mph-plus fastball. He's a strikeout pitcher who has good control.

Jon is the epitome of a perfect host - smart, engaging, irreverent and funny.

Jon is playing a different kind of basketball than he's ever played in his life. He's guarding out on the perimeter, he's put in positions to handle the ball on the perimeter. He's not just within the confines of the paint, where he's spent a lot of his time and has dominated by doing so.

Jon is a very strong kid. I really feel that he's the one that's been victimized. But for the sake of Jonathan, I'm going to forget about what Mr. Wooden has told me.

Jon is a very good coach,'' Tice said.

Jon is a three-sport athlete with athleticism, power and decent speed. He blocks well and we are looking for him to be the hub of the offense. Mike is athletic, is a three-sport athlete and is short, but rugged. Ryan has good speed and had some good moments last season.

Jon is a returning starter who provides experience. He has good size and is strong with both feet.

Jon is a proven player. From what everyone tells me, he is quite a tenacious player.

Jon is a great player, but we need people to step up in his place. We have a lot of people who can do so and everyone needs to chip in.

Jon is a good leader and a hard-nosed football player.

Jon is a gifted athlete who likes to take the big shots. He is popular among his teammates, has a sharp wit and a great sense of humor. His versatility is a great strength and causes match-up problems for other teams.

Jon is a bruiser, and Arizona has some bruisers. But, Arizona, I don't feel like they're that tough inside. We think Jon is going to have a great game.

Jon helped a lot. We told the guys in the locker room that they had to pick up some of the weight (Shepherd usually carries). Fortunately, we played good enough defense to take care of it.

Jon has really done his part in the second half of the season. Unfortunately it seems like the guys he pitches against are just as tough.

Jon has just been a wonderful addition to the Ankeny Chamber of Commerce, and he steps in and just does whatever is asked of him and then some.

Jon has had that potential all year. He's finally started to shoot that way here at the end of the year.

Jon has done an excellent job. Our defense has been ranked among the top 20 every year. We wanted to make sure he had some stability.

Jon has been a stalwart supporter of a strong business climate for many, many years. I respect him and his accomplishments.

Jon has a legitimate detest or hatred for defense. He takes it very personally.

Jon Hamm is such an amazing co-star. He used to set the tune of the scenes so easily, and in his free time, he didn't mind giving us cues. We picked up a lot from him.

Jon had a great game. Without question, he's been our most consistent player all season. When we needed someone to step up tonight, Jon was the guy.

Jon enjoyed the visit with the Jets. They did an incredibly good job with the visit. They got his attention. But his comfort level is in Philadelphia. Going into this I thought it would be between money and comfort level, in that order. Comfort level clearly proved to be more of a factor. He just decided signing with the Eagles was what he wanted to do.
