Mike Quotations

I consider Billy Keeler, Mike Tiernan, Ed Delihanty and Larrie La Joie the toughest hitters I had to pitch to, but I did not dread them. Remember, Hughie Duffy was a member of our team, so I did not face him. In my opinion, Duffy was the greatest hitter.

Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the 'Daily Mirror.' They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don't really have any memories of them as a couple.

When it gets to the part in life where you're more afraid of what your wife is going to do to you than if you box, say, Mike Tyson, you've got to get a new profession. You don't get to be a family. I know why boxers never quit, some of them. They don't have wives.

Nothing is going to stop Mike Tyson that doesn't have a motor attached.

The sport needs a personality, not a fighter. We've got plenty of great fighters in the sport, but no personalities. No one is standing for anything. The last personality we had was Mike Tyson. He stood for something. It wasn't much, but he stood for something.

It just tickles me still when you see Roger Clemens, as great as he is, throw a split-finger and the hitter just swings and misses. They don't see that ball that well. Jack Morris threw an awful good one and Mike Scott -- there's a lot of great pitchers over the years that I think that pitch definitely helped their career.

I knew I'd conquered America when Mike Tyson told me I was one mean lady.

On 'Angel' I got to work a lot with Mike Massa, who was David Boreanaz' stunt double, and Mike would let me do most of my stuff by myself. I did almost all my fight scenes by myself.

My favorite personal hockey moment was probably when Mike Bossy scored fifty goals in fifty games. He was the first one to do it since Rocket Richard. I was young when it happened, but I remember it very distinctly.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko have, along with their team, painstakingly planned out the Avatarverse.

Tom would bring in songs, Mike would engineer, and we recorded about 30 songs.

I had just got back from skiing, and I was just hanging out, browsing the Internet, and I found some article that was a press release that said slope style was gonna be included in the Olympics. And the first thing I did was call up my coach Mike Hanley, and we were ecstatic.

Carl, Dennis and Brian are brothers, and Mike Love's a cousin.

If I'm not putting out music, I'mma be producing for everybody. I got an artist named Mike Slice. He's nice, and he's real good. I'm doing a bunch of production for all the artists in the industry because I'm as much as a producer as I am an artist.

During the run up to the Iraq War, Mike Farrell and I did get on television kind of frequently, but then they saw that that didn't work. They really couldn't bait us into being stupid, so they stopped. You know the mainstream media, corporate media, avoids ever giving anyone who has anything to say a platform, if they can possibly help it.

But I think the thing I'm proud of about the film is that there aren't many films - either independent films or mainstream Hollywood films - that are like this; it's of its own times, and it's the film Mike Nichols wanted to make.

It's always weird when you see a movie, and there's no reason for someone to, like, jump on stage and be a singer, and then they just do that... But if it came organically, I would grab that mike and jump on stage for sure.

Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship. Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and Team USA, led teams to each of these honors... within about 24 months.

'Iron' Mike Tyson is the last boxer who was truly embraced by the media. They followed him around. You didn't know what he was going to do next: bite you, cut you, fight you. When you think about it, that defines him - it was an exciting adventure.

When I make films, I work with Mike Leigh, who's the most prolific director in England.

I did a couple of sketch shows with Mike Palin and Terry Jones... and then I got hired by Granada to do a weekly topical show.

It's no surprise that I ended up in sportscasting. I lived this world with my father, Mike Storen. Dad was a sports executive for most of my childhood.

No one heard about Bill Clinton on his first trip to New Hampshire. I showed Mike Huckabee around the state years before he ran, and no one knew him then, either.

Mike Watt and I had the same teacher. Mr. Tanaka.

I'd see people being really successful, whether it was my teammates or big-name fighters like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and I'd think, 'I want to be a legend like that.'

One of my best friends, Mike, had a kid. Just seeing him go through it all was inspiring. It would be so nice to care about someone more than yourself. And Mike is a total delinquent, so if he can do it, I figure I can, too.

Mike Tyson has been given every penny he has coming.

When I was first starting out, you'd have to bang an old upright piano and stick a mike in it and it would always feed back and you could never turn it up loud enough to be heard and I would beat my hands black and blue and bloody.

In 2004, I went onstage for the first time. They put a mike in my hand and pushed me out the door into the crowd. I did the three songs I had recorded and got out. It was the worst day of my life.

I had the humble beginnings. I was doing comedy in laundry mats in 1992, literally where I would bring a little gorilla amp and a lapel mike and just start performing.

Mike Matheny, Fernando Vina, Edgar Renteria, Mark McGwire and Darryl Kile... before he died. Those guys took me under their wing and taught me the way to play the game the right way.

The post-presidency, as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have proved, is a win-win. Money, Nobels, the ability to leverage your global celebrity for any cause or hobbyhorse you wish, plus freedom to grab the mike whenever the urge takes you without any terminal repercussions.

I've probably saved more black lives as mayor of New York City than any mayor in New York City with the possible exception of Mike Bloomberg, who was there for 12 years.

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.

Of course, I believe that Mike Piazza is probably the greatest offensive catcher in the history of baseball, only got over 50%. Johnny Bench is the best catcher in the history of baseball, but Piazza has all the record for catchers as far as offensively.

I come from where Mike Tyson came from. I come from right across the street from Jay-Z. I didn't have a pond in my backyard. I saw violence.

I have often been characterized by one sound bite, and people say, 'That is the whole of Mike Huckabee, because we have him on this off-the-cuff moment.'

You know how you feel when you get full? Well, I don't get full. I can eat a lot. Mike and I were in Italy for 10 days, and I put on 8 pounds. So in real life, I have to make sure I'm not eating just to eat.

That's one thing I never had to do on a Mike Bay set is sit around and pontificate about the next scene; there's no time for it. You're already in the next scene.

The position we find ourselves in relative to the post-season has dictated that a change would be made. Our judgment was that it would be unfair to Mike O'Connell to continue working at this job once this decision had been made.

There are certain people in our business that you don't replace - Bob Knight, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzyewski, and you don't replace John Wooden, either.

We struggled a little bit to get going, and they (L-S) were on fire tonight. Ben and Mike were all over the place, but we couldn't get enough stops defensively.

There is no one left in the state that has beaten him in the discus. The discus is his event. I have never seen Mike not achieve a goal he has set for himself. Except for one, and he'll fix that this summer.

Whether we bring Mike Williams off the bench or go small like we did, we have got to deal with those situations.

We're going to play Mike as much as we can.

What they're shooting for is what Mike called a visible and playable difference between those two cuts of rough.

What they need is another Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson, ... You need somebody that people can get excited about.

When we drafted Mike we were in a different scheme. We were the antithesis of what we are now. Now is that to exonerate him not playing because of the scheme? No. Part of it, he needed to get better at certain things, but he didn't. He's got the tools. We got into the third year and we didn't see a big advance.

Working with Mike was shocking, terrifying, exhilarating, ... It was the best job of my life. It's rather like falling out of an aeroplane with no parachute.

Working with Mike Maddux, Dan had great success for us in the past and he adds to the depth of our relief. We think that he has great potential to return to his form of 2004 and make a significant contribution to our staff.

With what Mike is planning to do at the drivers' meetings on Saturday, prior to the Busch race, and on Sunday is going to sort of give our guys, I don't want to say a final warning, but I think they'll clearly understand that we're going to do what we need to,

We knew what we had to get done. We knew the things that had plagued us in the past were turnovers, penalties and not making the plays when we had the opportunity. We were a lot more focused today. That starts with Mike and Matt.

We know he has ability, but he's inexperienced. So I thought losing Colon was a bad break for them and a good one for us. Mike trusted him right down to the seventh inning, and unfortunately, we couldn't cash in on some of the opportunities we had.

Ultimately, people need to understand people like Mike and Jim, who have been dedicated to one another for over two decades and are raising a son, are decent people, working hard and doing the best they can by their family.

We're still making mistakes and still not finishing in protections. We need to give Mike some time and he'll make plays.

We're still fairly young on the left side of the line, but they're coming along. They're battling and they're fighting. We've got to bank on Mike and John's experience coming through.

We've got good, balanced play from both of those ends as we have from our outside linebackers, Willie and Rosie, or even Mike earlier in the year. So I think being balanced on defense has helped us.

We've got a new coach in Mike Babcock, who has no preconceived notions about either guy. They're both in their early 30s and they both are on one-year contracts, so I expect a healthy competition and I hope in the end the team is the benefactor.

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.

When he first went down, it didn't look good. And he was so close to the bench that he didn't have to get up to get off the ice, so I wasn't sure what happened. But I talked to the trainer between periods and he thought it would be good and then I saw Mike after and he was all smiles with the team winning the division. So a crisis averted, I guess.

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 were trying to replace some very talented kids. He was trying to replace the player of the year, which is never easy. Maybe our expectations were not what they should have been. I think he had a productive year, even though it was somewhat inconsistent to Mike Mitchell and Gavin Hoffman.

We want to shoot 3s. We have great confidence in Allan and Mike and Randy, especially. Those three are pretty deadly.

We want to shoot 3s, ... We have great confidence in Allan and Mike and Randy, especially. Those three are pretty deadly.

We are all frustrated. Mike is frustrated and I don't blame him. We are not playing the type of basketball to win a championship.

We always expect any team can beat you. Coach Mike stresses the fact that you can't underestimate anybody.

We always end up having a good rotation. We make sure we keep fresh legs on the field. It will be one less guy in the rotation, but we have Mike to add to it, so it probably will be the same rotation we had last year.

We are not a team with just two or three superstars. We can back up those guys, Cooper and Stump, with guys like Mike Marshall, who also is good in shot and discus, and Zach Schmidt in triple and long jump.

We are not at all satisfied with Mike Robinson's response and will be taking this up further by writing to the BBC Editorial Complaints Unit.

We really feel like Mike is in great shape. He's had a great camp. There are no questions in our minds that he's totally healthy.

We're a Colorado company, and we want to show that we support the University of Colorado and what they're doing, ... I'm a strong believer in Mike Bohn and Gary Barnett. I think they are people who believe in doing the right thing and believe in doing it the right way.

We ran probably two-thirds of the time, ... It was a different game than what Mike Leach does. They like to pass the ball. Texas will have to be very aware of that Saturday.

(Yesterday) morning, Mike called and took a little step towards us. It wasn't a giant step, but it was a big enough step for us to realize it's time to start playing hockey.

The expectations for Mike have always been so high, he's raised that bar to a level that only he can reach. And when the puck doesn't go in the net or the team struggles, he's certainly the one that everyone's going to point to,

There are a lot of characteristics good coaches have at any level, and Mike has all that. Of course when you change leagues ... the game is different and that just takes an adjustment period. I think Mike has handled all that really well. He feels more comfortable.

We have just got our noses in front, although it was unfortunate losing Mike so close to the end. The morning session is crucial in the context of our first innings and maybe in the context of the game: if we bat well through to lunch we will be looking at a good score, if we lose a couple of wickets we will have to battle as long as we can.

We're here in Harlem. Mike Bloomberg's campaign posters could make it here. Where's Mike?

We needed a fresh, new start. That's not demeaning anyone else, I just felt Mike was the right man at this time.

Make Denver make the decision here. In other words, put pressure on Mike Shanahan. What's he gonna do? Is he gonna run it and maybe waste a down because it might not gain a lot of yards, or does he take the chance and throw it and if it's incomplete it stops the clock. That's what the Patriots are hoping for.

Lucky enough that Mike Mularkey was in a position to make a pity hire, and I think everyone knows that's what it is, and he put me back in here.

Losing Mike Powell was a disaster, a big blow for us, but what pulled us through was our team spirit,

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.

Lorenz, Mike Signore and Joe Mau have all been doing good things for us off the bench. There really hasn't been much of a drop-off.

Many of the writers who have inspired me most are outside the genre: Humorists like Robert Benchley and James Thurber, screenwriters like Ben Hecht and William Goldman, and journalists/columnists like H.L. Mencken, Mike Royko and Molly Ivins.

She gave the most stirring speeches, ... and she was never afraid to ask for money. Once when I was speaking at a rally, she grabbed the mike and told me to be more forceful in my fund-raising pitch. The crowd loved it; I think we raised $90,000 that day.

Since Werner got fired, Virginia quarterbacks coach Mike Groh has been by a couple of times, and so has a bunch of guys from Penn State.

Since Mike came on board we have seen measurable results in the growth of our resort rental program, Suite Getaways (SM) . As we continue to expand our resort management relationships Mike is key to ensuring smooth transitions and to imparting the finest of hospitality services to resort guests. His diverse experience in the hospitality industry makes it possible for him to get to the bottom of challenges and opportunities with little difficulty. His eye for detail, strong operations knowledge and motivation allows him to focus on result-oriented leadership.

Since Gov. Romney is not seeking re-election, there is no campaign to run, and so he has ended his contractual relationship with Mike Murphy. Mike has been a trusted friend and adviser, and he always will be.

Most of the teams here are from the south and have been playing for awhile. All things considered we're not in bad shape. We need some help for Mike (today). Mike has been tearing it up all spring break.

Mike was a rink rat as a kid. This shows there is much more to hockey than just playing.

Mike was a prime mover in the contemporary China field -- in some respects, the prime mover -- for much of the past three decades,

Mike was a little nervous ... We weren't, because his reputation is so immense.

Mike was a great guy and I know he'll be coaching somewhere else. Wherever he goes, I won't mind playing for Mike Sherman. He's just that great of a guy.

Mike was a great bass player. But we had no idea what he was destined for, in all honesty. He was just a blues enthusiast who was in our circle of musician friends in San Diego.

Mike wants to focus on dinner. He'll make everything in the kitchen from the bread to the desserts.

Mike wants to be that much more lethal by making himself a great throwing quarterback,

Mike Wallace has been the heart and soul of this broadcast since he and Don (Hewitt) started it almost four decades ago. Millions and millions of Americans have tuned in to '60 Minutes' on Sunday nights over all those years to see him in action and to find out what questions he would be asking each week. I'm glad he'll be around to do an occasional interview. He's had such a powerful impact on all of us who work here, on how we conduct interviews and how we report stories, that there will always be a piece of Mike in everything we do.

Mike used a lot of his boxing skills and angles to get away from him. He?d be hitting him with punches as the guy came charging forward. It was like a matador with a bull, and he was hitting him with some hooks.

Mike Tyson was provoked and verbally and physically attacked. His actions were justifiable.
