Larry Quotations

'The Larry Sanders Show,' it's actually about love, which would sound like a paradox at first. But if that love didn't exist, the darker attitudes would not play. You would have a one-dimensional, cynical show, which I don't think the show was.

Mark Zuckerberg did his own software for Facebook, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin made their own for Google.

Ruby inherited the Perl philosophy of having more than one way to do the same thing. I inherited that philosophy from Larry Wall, who is my hero actually. I want to make Ruby users free. I want to give them the freedom to choose.

I met Powel Crosley at an All-Star Game in 1935. He was familiar, of course, with our winning record at Rochester. We seemed to hit it off immediately, and the following year, when he was looking for a successor to Larry MacPhail, he thought of me.

I've known Larry Clark since I was fourteen. I've always skateboarded in Manhattan. Larry got into the scene in the early '90s, taking pictures and skating with us.

When you win, everything is everything. But when you lose, it's all about Allen Iverson and Larry Brown. When we win, I know that I get the praise and Larry Brown gets the praise, but when we lose, it's on me and Larry Brown. That's something that I have to learn to accept and deal with.

My friends once told me I remind them of the main character from the American comedy series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' I thought they must mean a sunny, affable girl-next-door, but instead I was confronted with Larry David! Crabby, moody, perversely neurotic Larry David. And the thing is, my friends were right.

'I Want To Hold Your Hand' is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, I sure love that song. I did like the classic version, a rock-oriented song, then someone heard me do it with the Grant Green approach - Grant Green and Larry Young did it, with a bossa nova beat on the funky side.

Let's face it, I'm not winning a fight with anybody - unless it's against someone like Larry David.

You look at shows like The Simpsons or Larry Sanders or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld, they're really sophisticated shows that we all love back home.

My earliest memory is nursing and struggling to see the colored lights making up the map of the world, the famous backdrop for Larry King's TV show. There's an 'I-want-to-do-all-things-at-once' kind of theme to it.

Larry King's show got to be an increasingly lonely outpost of humane civility in a mephitic menagerie of hotheads, saber rattlers, cretins and crackpots.

When Larry and Sergey founded Google Search, one of the things that struck me is that it was available for everyone to use. We deeply desire our services to work for everyone. And that inherently means we have to work with partners. That is the thesis underlying everything we do.

I can't go into Oklahoma without thinking about Larry Clark's photography book 'Tulsa.' It's a great book about how life works.

Maybe Larry Kings cannot thrive or even survive in a world where the norms for discourse are rage, vehemence and character assassination. King wanted to be liked, not feared; admired, not loathed.

I believe Larry Page is moving Google from an advertising-based company to a commerce-based company.

I don't watch cop movies much. I TiVo shows. I watch every Larry David show.

Larry only ever wrote one song, and he wrote that with Tony Kaye, I think it was, from Yes.

A part of me looks at life from a dismal perspective, not unlike Woody Allen and Larry David. But I don't want to look at life like that. It's bad enough that I have to think it. What works for me is writing against that view. There is God, there is love, there is greatness, there is a plan, and there is beauty.

For me anyway, until I was exposed to doing improvisation and walking onto a stage without any script, I would have never felt comfortable enough to walk into a room with someone like Larry David and audition.

My first choice was to work it out with Larry Brown. I needed Larry and I gave him 50 million bucks. This is a situation that I'm in and I'll handle it and I'll make it work.

I danced in a company of 'West Side Story' when I was very young. It was most of the original cast - Larry Kert, Chita Rivera - and Jerry Robbins directed. It was tough, a wonderful initiation for me.

Some time ago, I told Larry King that I planned to live to be 102. I still do.

My husband passed away a long time ago, and of course a lot of people have courted me. I've been taken to dinner and also to things like Larry Hagman, in particular years ago. And more recently, of course, little Hugh Jackman - and he's too young for me though, frankly.

Oddly enough, Dame Edna is not interested in show business. Her friends in Los Angeles are mostly in the world of petroleum. She used to have some acting friends. Sadly, Joan Rivers has passed on. Larry Hagman was a close friend. A number of others.

But let me tell you something. Gloria Steinem never helped me out; Larry Flynt did.

Achingly funny as it was, Larry Gelbart's writing gave off sparks that turned a hard light on the way we are.

We're in a slower-growth environment and as Larry said, if you can get 10 percent growth from organic growth and 10 percent from acquisition, it adds cash and adds earnings. That's as long as they can make the integration work.

We're not going to stop Gilbert Arenas. Larry chased him around off screens and tried to contest every shot Gil took.

We're going to miss Larry Brown, but so many times it was just about Larry. It was always, 'Larry did this, Larry did that,' with the result that I don't think the players got enough credit.

We felt it was in our best interest to go with the guy who had the most recall to where Larry Kueck, our offensive coordinator, could get him on the side and say, 'Hey, Jimmy, you know, we're getting this, this and this,' and Jimmy would have some recall from past years. Bernie will definitely play, though.

With the Larry Bertlemann portrait, I started with a photograph that I could use for it. I built the drawing's identity to serve as a graphic identity. After a number of sketches, I went into my own abstract vernacular of drawn lines and shapes to create the composition for the poster design.

Throughout November, (owner) John Henry, (owner) Tom Werner, Larry and I held discussions to see what lessons could be learned in the aftermath of my departure. Gradually, with the benefit of time and greater perspective, we tackled not only our personal conflicts but also the differences regarding our thoughts for the organization.

We have not agreed to anything with Larry and there is no buyout yet. Both sides are still talking.

We have so many veteran guys like Willie McGinest, Mike Vrabel, Richard Seymour, Larry Izzo, guys that have been in the fire. We lose those two guys (Bruschi and Johnson), but other guys have really stepped up to really meet that challenge.

We want to thank Larry Torres of T&D Machine Products in Carson City. They're the leading supplier of rocker arms for nearly everyone in racing.

We always enjoy the games between us. We always have great contests. Larry and I have been best friends for 20 seasons out here.

Larry Kasdan is a great director.

Luckily, Larry chose the school. Kenny Battle had seen him in a summer league and he sent him here. We were fortunate.

Lou made some really nice runs. Donald probably had his best day of the spring. Andre also had a good day. They all did some good things. They're guys that proved they can help us. I wouldn't be hesitant to put any of those four guys, plus Larry (Taylor), into a game.

So I asked Larry to write a letter to the proper authorities that more psychiatric services are needed. He refused.

Some are saying Larry is using his health as an excuse, but that's not the truth because he's more than willing to come back, even with his current condition.

Siebel was in a world of hurt. For Tom Siebel to sell to Larry Ellison, this is his worst nightmare. That shows the dire straits Siebel was in.

She did speak up. She told Larry Fitzgerald. And what did I do? I put it out there and they took care of it, didn't they? You damn right it's down because we got on them. I sent people out there.

Mitchell basketball lost several key players to graduation. It's going to be a transitional year to bring along those younger kids. I think it's a great fit to bring Larry in with his fundamentals for the game.

None of use besides Larry had done a television show that had stayed on the air for more than a few weeks, so Larry was prepared.

Murrow would be delighted that there are 24-hour news channels, but disappointed that during prime time all that they would be doing are these shout shows and Larry King instead of doing the news,

no other individual has had more command over surf media in the U.S. than Larry Moore.

Right now he has a contract. He intends to honor it, and I'm sure between now and April 1, I'll have discussions with the appropriate people. Larry's been there the last two years and done everything asked of him. He's made the Pro Bowl. He's not been a bad player. If they want to sign someone else instead of Larry and release him, he'll end up playing somewhere else. Players have only so many options.

Right now, all the mega-yachts go right past us to Seattle or Alaska. This will bring those people right here. Guys like Larry Ellison can back his 175-foot baby in here.

Nick went out there and took a bunch of shot early but got tired and ran out of gas. I'll take the blame on that one because we should have wrestled Larry (Reichard). I thought Nick had a good week of practice and maybe knee-wise he was ready to go out there but conditioning-wise he wasn't.

If we're going to win the general election, we're going to have to get independents. This is another in a long series of examples of me being much more attractive to independent voters, ... Larry King Live.

If they want to sign someone else instead of Larry and release him, he'll end up playing somewhere else. Players have only so many options.

I'd like to see Larry Suffredin go down to New Orleans and try to convince homeowners to give up their guns,

I don't believe Larry knows what happened to his mom or where she's at. He admitted something isn't right with her disappearance. He doesn't believe she just up and left.

I don't believe he could win the general election. I think (Democrat) Larry Grant would beat him.

I'd better start gaining some more weight if I'm going to be tackling people. I've been losing all this weight playing Marvin Harrison and Larry Fitzgerald.

I am concerned about information I have received indicating that President Bush, himself may have supplanted the role of veteran career litigators at the Department of Justice, ... As a result, I am particularly interested in learning about what role, if any, Phil Perry, associate attorney general and Vice President Cheney's son-in-law; Alberto Gonzales, assistant to the president and White House counsel; and Larry Lindsey, assistant to the president for economic policy and director, National Economic Council, played in this decision.

I am extremely excited to be a part of Vision Racing. Tony George and Ed Carpenter have built a solid foundation and the team is moving in the right direction. I have my engineer, David Cripps, with me and we have a solid working relationship. The time that I have had in the off-season with Larry Curry has been encouraging. He is incredibly motivated to win races, and that is what I am looking forward to doing, winning races.

I can't imagine the excitement that Larry Foote is going through. He went to high school at Pershing, then to have a great career here.

Gilbert is a great player. Larry did a great job of trying to get his hands on the ball and contesting every jump shot. As a unit, we did an excellent job.

For years, I was watching other people have so much fun playing out their version of authorship, like Louis C.K. and Larry David. As I watched them do their thing, I began to pine for the days when I had a lot less expected of me and, often, a lot more creative freedom. The courage that those guys have is always captivating to me.

Frankly, I think we need to be careful and we need to understand that there is a risk, ... Larry King Live.

I don't think it's a 'gimme' that this appointment will move forward quickly, but everything that I know about Larry Summers is good,

For me, when you are talking about perfect songs, you're talking about Gershwin, 'Someone To Watch Over Me.' Or Larry Hart and Richard Rodgers. Or some of the great Cole Porter songs, whether it's 'Night and Day' or some of the comedy songs. Or Irving Berlin, of course.

He's grabbed the agency. He has begun to shift the culture, ... Larry King Live.

He was courageous. He was strategic in his thinking, ... Larry King Live.

He looks focused. He knows the importance of this. He's got agents coming up to him. He looks under the basket and sees Larry Bird. He recognizes this in terms of its importance to his future in basketball.

He looked like Larry Bird out there for the first five minutes.

He'll want to make a few (moves), right away. Larry will want to bring in guys he's comfortable with. He's going to want to have a say in personnel. That's the way Larry is. He'll go in and ask to have guys traded. But Donnie Walsh used to tell him, 'We're not going to do what you want. I will not destroy this team.'

He came to play every day. He was like Larry Bird in basketball. He was one of the first guys at practice and always put his work in. His whole attitude was contagious. You wanted to come to the ballpark and be around him. You knew you had a chance to win because he was on your team.

He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.

Golf is the only sport that a professional can enjoy playing with his friends. Can Larry Holmes enjoy fighting one of his friends?

He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey, ... We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

Under Larry Knight, they are always well-coached. They have two good pitchers. It should be a great series. We're looking forward to it. We match up well with them.

We made Larry a significant offer, but he elected to sign with another team. We wish him the best. We're moving forward and we're excited about the players we added to our team.

He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out.

Guys took their place and did a terrific job with the bats and we were pitching well. We don't have Scott back, but we have Larry and Reggie back. Both of those guys can handle a bat, so you don't push as much with them as you would with some of the other guys.

Knock on wood, Larry is staying, but you need to be prepared.

JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at 'I Dream of Jeannie' - I mean, he's a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award.

I think it certainly bodes well for the possibility for Larry being nominated. Larry is not an ultra-right-winger by any stretch, and that means the folks on the left shouldn't have great objection to him.

It could be someone outside of the legal judicial field like a Larry Thompson, or it could be a senator.

I thought Hartford finished strong in the regular season. I thought Larry did a good job.

I think when you have that it makes other people change what they want to do from a punting standpoint. Larry has a tremendous amount of confidence back there and I thought he made great decisions when the ball was kicked away from him going to get them and pick it up and make something happen.

I think the greatest player I've ever played against was Magic Johnson. Next, was Larry Bird. Then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

I think the Big East helps. And my staff does a great job. I'll never take credit for all of our recruiting. (Assistant coach) Larry Davis did a great job with Marcus Sikes.

I was born in Queens, New York. I've done every job you could think of in New York. Selling peanuts to Larry Fresh Fruit ices to dog walker to unloading trucks at the Jacob Javits Center.

I will be doing DALLAS. I heard LARRY (HAGMAN) approved of me. We were in PRIMARY COLORS together and so it was sweet for him to give his seal of approval.

Jeffrey and Larry will do what they can to give me the best product on the field, ... They want to win, they want championships. And that's what I'm all about.

Last time I checked, Larry Brown started in college, for example, and he might be one of the top coaches.

Larry will love the challenge of getting the Knicks turned around,

Larry will go out of there in a pine box.

Larry wanted to come in and play and really show us that he could have an impact on this club, and unfortunately he just hasn't been able to do that at this point.

Larry Thomas was a shoelace away on that screen from going who knows how long.

Larry then comes charging at me screaming, 'What did IÊf--- do?' ... Larry then gets in my face and says, 'Do you know what you f--- are? ...'

Larry then comes charging at me screaming, 'What did I f--- do?' ... Larry then gets in my face and says, 'Do you know what you f--- are? ...'

Larry Taylor is an aggressive catcher and a very special talent, maybe one of the best in Division I. If you don't keep the ball away from him, then you will see the result.

Larry Summers is a very capable guy. He's been Rubin's deputy for the last five years or so, and Rubin has been grooming him to take on the responsibilities of being the Treasury secretary.

Larry strove to make the world a better place than he found it.

Larry Spring seemed to have the energy and enthusiasm that we thought we needed. We have a vision already figured out. We already know where we want to go and he seemed to be the candidate who was going to be most able to help us carry that forward.
