Matt Quotations

I would have loved to have been a footballer like my great uncle Matt Busby, but I knew quite early on that I wasn't going to make the grade. Luckily I was told by the age of 13 that I wasn't good enough. That's not a bad thing. You see this 'X Factor' generation of kids now who don't accept that they're not good enough.

This is very unprofessional, but at 'The Toxic Avenger,' Demond Green, Matt Saldivar and I had a contest to see who could say the word 'ochre' the most times during the show. Well, I had a song called 'Choose Me Oprah,' so I just said ochre instead of Oprah the whole time.

Matt Weiner is very perceptive; there's something about the rhythms and the way people speak that is very authentic to the actor. But there are qualities that are dissimilar. The characters on 'Mad Men' are struggling with pretty profound unhappiness, but I can tell you this is a happy bunch.

We want the best actor, and that's why Matt Damon worked so well in this role, because he's a great actor.

Unlike the LeBrons and A-Rods of the world, anointed as special from pre-K, Matt Leinart exudes an approachability rarely seen in superstars. It's why kids on the autograph line chat him up like a buddy with whom they could stay up late playing Xbox.

I said, 'Wouldn't it be great if Matt Damon's character fell in love with a girl with a real butt?' They were like, 'Yeah sure, sure - here's your personal trainer.'

I'm a big fan of all the Boston guys that are acting - Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg - they made a great career out of it, and they found a way to do it and still be cool guys, so that's kind of where I want to be.

I didn't study science beyond high school level, but I'd been reading a lot of science books by people like Richard Dawkins, Matt Ridley and Daniel Dennett. I also spent a year working on a fellowship in a research centre - the Allan Wilson Centre - where I got a hands-on look at their work sequencing DNA.

There's no doubt Matt Leinart loves his son very much.

In New York, I'm around a lot of the reasons I started playing music in the first place. I live right behind Matt Umanov Guitars. I live on the street that Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan were walking down on the album cover. I recognize the history.

I'm a big fan of Katt Williams, Jim Gaffigan, Louie CK, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin, Rich Vas, Joey Vega and Matt Claybrooks.

I'd like to play Matt Damon's daddy. He's a wonderful actor, I really admire him, and I'd like to play his dad one day.

I knew Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were really talented. As actors, they were both studly young men, and they had great writers' chops.

Matt Damon's anti-fracking diatribe was funded by the royal family of the United Arab Emirates.

We've all watched Matt grow up on camera, but I don't know how many of us have really stopped and taken a long look at the tremendously accomplished body of work that he continues to build.

We've actually rehearsed more for this tour than we've ever rehearsed in our lives. Matt is singing a lot of the vocal harmonies, and he's just killing it. The benefit of playing in a KISS cover band when you're 12 is that you learn to sing!

There are some high-caliber teams here and placing anywhere in the top six is a great accomplishment. Matt Stephenson wrestled really well and was in every match. It's a good point in the season for Matt to realize that he can wrestle well at a tournament like this.

Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

We're hoping to build on last year. Our goal is to get by the second round of the tournament and to be competitive with some of the big teams in the SCC and get into the SCC tournament. We want to capitalize on our experience. These guys all have a lot of time as varsity players last year. We are working on solidifying our defense. We're hoping we can get a couple of guys besides Matt to score some goals. If we do those things, we should be all right.

We're basically back to where we were last year. Matt Kubik will start based on the fact he played the most last year. Donald Allen will play early on and we'll leave it at that and see where we go from there.

Three words. 'Scoop and score.' I was joking with Matt that I thought the kicker was going to get him for half a second. He didn't appreciate that.

We knew they were going to come out strong early and we managed to stem the tide. D-Y is a well-coached veteran team that plays with a lot of emotion. Our goalie, Matt Ryan, was obviously a key factor for us.

We're looking for someone to replace Matt Howard's presence in the lineup.

We were a very good team with Adam and Mike up front and Matt and Jake making plays from the midfield. What turned us into a great team was moving Shane Curran-Hays to sweeper. The other players have total confidence in him. The guys know that they can hold the ball a little longer now. Shane gets to balls that other people would not. His presence made a great change in us in the back. We are quick at every position, really. So communication becomes key, especially because we play zonal defense.

We want to bring 'Shooting Stars' back and we're talking to the BBC. Matt will definitely be George Dawes. We can't do the show without him.

We did good. Matt (Mitchell) had a little trouble today, but the other guys stepped up and improved today. The score stayed within three shots of (Wednesday). One guy struggled, but the other guys came through. It turned out to be just as good.

We share information really well together all the teams do and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We share information really well together ? all the teams do ? and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We share information really well together -- all the teams do -- and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We hope to think (he'll be back in time for Arkansas). Matt has worked very hard on the rehab. Obviously, he'll be a tremendous asset back to the ball club.

Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.

We have respect for Matt and his coaching. These things happen. Six years at an NRL club is a long time.

The fact that Matt didn't have a flat tire and he didn't break anything, and Carl narrowly avoided a crash that would have been a disaster, was great. The litany of things that can happen and didn't, that can get on top of you, they stayed away from us tonight.

This win was well-deserved. Heath and Lynch had terrific runs - and Matt Anderson returned to the lineup and to his usual form after missing the previous two races.

The only player left was Matt Birk, ... He was a rookie in '98. Now he's hurt.

We needed a win. Anytime you can get a win against a quality pitcher like Matt Bryant, it makes you feel good. The kids really wanted it tonight.

When things started getting a little physical, Matt stepped up and made big plays. He won a lot of respect from me today the way he played.

Luck is something you always need to have. We have more chance than the Cardinals. They don't have some of the players they had last year, like Matt Morris. We have to start winning the first month, as many games as possible. We have a good team. We have everything.

Sean had a good game for us and Matt Baker also played well.

Should I be suspicious of every power hitter now because of steroids? ... Should I assume that everyone who played during the 'juiced ball' era was on steroids? And what about players like Albert Belle and Matt Williams ? Should I assume they were juiced as well?

Simply put, Matt Morris is a winner. He's a gamer who not only gives his team a chance to win every time he pitches, but as his record indicates, he's around to collect the win himself. Matt will be a perfect complement to the top of the rotation and provide valuable leadership to our younger pitchers.

Since our loss to the Redskins earlier this season, Matt might audible to the right call eight to 10 times a game. Today, he probably did it five or six times. He got us in the right plays. He's a smart, smart guy. That's what separates him from most of the other quarterbacks.

Since Matt's been at Yale, I've become a Bulldogs fan, ... Matt may not have been the most gifted athlete, but he was one of the hardest-working guys. That rubbed off on me. Also, he's a real big competitor. Even if we're just playing a video game, he refuses to lose. That kind of rubbed off, too.

Most teams put their best defender on Matt and that has created opportunities for me.

Matt would have played in the last two games if he hadn't been injured.

Matt won't be happy at losing two goals on his debut but he kept us in the game with some excellent saves.

Matt won last year, and all of our competitors are riding great this season.

Matt Willis has had more practice time, and he's the one that will be in that position.

Matt (Williams the coach) said that he saw my role as coming off the bench as an impact player but obviously I see myself as more than just that.

Matt will be a perfect complement to the top of the rotation.

Matt (Weeks) can run. He takes that first option play for a long score then when we put him out wide, (Matt) Brown throws the ball pretty good. Brown ran the ball pretty decent tonight. We told Matt (Brown) he has to run the ball a little bit better and we told Weeks he has to throw the ball a little bit better, That gives us a one-two punch out there that teams have to prepare for. I think that's tough to stop.

Matt was tremendously talented, but wild. He would come in and say, 'This is how we did it in Green Bay,' and wasn't very receptive to change.

Matt was the only one who was executing our offense. He was hot and we were just trying to get the ball in his hands.

Matt was really in control. He played beautifully.

Matt was probably 205 pounds when we recruited him. But we could see what kind of athlete he is. He has a big frame (6-foot-6). He'll get on the field. He's very athletic. He's really going to be something some day.

Matt was probably 205 pounds when we recruited him,

Matt was outstanding, and Link did a great job to keep it close and give us a chance.

Matt was our No. 2 guy last year, but it was really like having No. 1 and 1A. He really is dominant. He throws in the high 80s and low 90s with control. He's also very tough mentally.

Matt was on the radar of a lot of schools, but things didn't start to pop until we got to the national tournament. That's where his stock went through the roof.

Matt was like Willis Reed coming back out of the locker room.

Matt was just dynamite out there and he looked terrific.

Matt was huge on offense and defense. He got into foul trouble early but he continued to battle. On defense I think he must have taken at least four charges.

Matt was certainly on his game tonight. He played a complete game on offense and defense. He got us off to a good start on the season.

Matt was a wonderful athlete. There's things that he can do. ... You can't try to do what Matt did.

Matt was at his best, his stuff was very good, and he pounded in a lot of first strikes which is always impressive.

Matt was always concerned about conference and tournament championships. He was never really concerned about all-conference selections or all-tournament teams.

Matt was a good buddy. He got hurt, though. I don't think it really mattered, friendship or no friendship. You can't punt when you're hurt. That's why they got Donnie, and Donnie had a good game.

Matt took over in the second half. He's a complete player.

Matt throws a plus slider, but the fastball is his foremost pitch.

Matt Stiles stepped up huge. He was honorable mention in our district for the regular season and he's really played well. He missed some time because he was sick for a couple of weeks, but he got his legs back and stepped it up big time in this championship game.

Matt Stephens has played his best golf the last four rounds. He's really improved his game.

Matt shows you the heart he has by the free throws he makes late in the game after sitting on the bench. He steps up and he drills them.

Matt shows what work and perseverance can do. When he was a sophomore, we didn't think too much of him as a player. He's made improvements to where I think he is all-state caliber.

Matt showed me something today about himself as a pitcher. He struggled early but Matt came back and pitched a great game today.

Matt showed a lot, not only kicking field goals, but in kickoffs.

Matt shed off a few strokes, and it's an improvement from John Ryan's 110 (Thursday). Overall, I was happy.

Matt sets a great example with the way he comes to practice every day and plays through pain. It's to the point now that he can barely walk after games. We're all amazed and impressed by his dedication and determination.

Matt said he wanted to front Galvin defensively, rather than play behind him, that he felt more comfortable playing that way. I told him okay, but that we'd have to get him help from the backside. We started doing that and things seemed to take off after that.

Matt really stepped it up. He didn't have his best stuff but went out and pitched a complete game. Our hitting was a little better in the second game. Zach got a big hit with two outs. We still have work to do with hitting and defense.

Matt really peaked last year and he just got so much better at the end of the season. He surprised everybody.

Matt Price has done a great job for us all year. He's got great poise and that's one of the things I like about Matt. He looks like a baseball player out there.

Matt plays a bigger role on our team than most people realize. He's the glue guy for us.

Matt played excellent basketball. He's a fiery competitor. He plays so hard. I think everybody on our team knows how good of a player Matt Arnold is.

Matt pitched real well for us with five strikeouts and only one walk. He had command of all his pitches.

Matt pitched a great game. We had two pitchers out there who deserved to win. It was a toss-up. My hats off to him (Zupan). He had a good fastball and we didn't go with some of his pitches.

Matt Painter will do well there, give him some time. They're so far down you have to give him some time.

Matt Painter has done probably the best job of any coach in our league when you look at the players he lost.

Matt orchestrated all of it. I think you have to tip your hat to a guy who played the biggest game in Seattle's football history and we were able to come out like we did.

Matt Olson has been just a horse the second half of the year for us.

One of the things that will kind of go unnoticed is that in the last month of the season our seniors were the ones that led us. Todd and Matt played like all-conference players and that was desire and wanting it more.

One of the things I love about working with my brother is that there's a commitment there - an unwavering commitment. From our basement in Illinois when I was three years old to Iceland on a frozen glacier with Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon in spacesuits - there's a commitment to the pure spectacle, the pure cinema of it.

One of the things that interested me is that Matt is a tremendous businessman. He's as safe a place to invest as the stock market and he's got a unique, patented product.

One meet Jerry will win, another will go to Matt and another will go to Adam. I like hearing them say that they should run in the top six and they don't say anything negative.

My favorite actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith - guys like that.

No-one's pushing Al Baxter or Bill Young at present. Matt Dunning hasn't put his hand up. And in the second row we've got Mark Chisholm (behind Nathan Sharpe and Dan Vickerman) but who else?

New Orleans is a classic city with a wonderful heritage, which I am sure will rebuild. The Saints are a team with some pretty terrific offensive weapons. If New Orleans is interested in Matt, then I am sure Matt will be interested in them.
