Robinson Quotations
Robinson Quotes from:
-
Attending Quotes
I was part of a group called Casanova Fly, doing bouncer work, attending college and working in a pizza shop when I first met producer Sylvia Robinson who came into the pizza shop where I was flipping the dough. I was rapping in the park in Englewood, and she heard about what I was doing.
-
Arthur Quotes
I began writing poems when I was about eight, with a heavy assist from my mother. She read me Arthur Waley's translations and Whitman and Robinson Jeffers, who have been lifelong influences on me. My father read Keats to me, and then he read more Keats while I was lying on the sofa struggling with asthma.

Alien Quotes
I think 'Lost in Space' certainly shifted from being an ensemble adventure series about a family facing the unknown alien environment to this trio of comedians - Dr. Smith, the Robot, and Will Robinson being the straight guy. It definitely changed its tone over the three seasons and 84 episodes we did.
-
Bad Quotes
I started playing the guitar when we started filming the pilot to 'Lost in Space,' which was way back in December of 1964, and there's a little bit in the pilot that was used in the first season where Will Robinson is sitting around some bad foam rubber rock playing and singing 'Greensleeves.'
-
Centers Quotes
We have never been 5-0. One thing I can say about this team is we have been in some close games, but find a way to win. I am real proud of the kids tonight because we played without (senior running back Nate) Robinson for most of the fourth quarter. A lot of our offense centers around him, but the kids stepped up.
-
Ahead Quotes
He could play, but the doctors think there could be some nerve damage if he bangs that elbow again. It's not worth the risk. He's too good of a football player with too much ahead of him to take that kind of chance. It's a big loss for us because he's one of the great players in America. He and Michael Robinson are probably the two guys who turned the program around. That and the fact that we're still playing good on defense.
-
Center Quotes
He can play regularly if we have injuries. He is good off the bench. He's a good makeup guy in the clubhouse. Frank Robinson and I went to a Lakers game at the Staples Center on Friday night and we talked about how much we need to improve the bench, and we talked about how Michael Tucker would fit in so well. We certainly have a need for another outfielder, and we certainly think we have improved our bench.
-
Believe Quotes
I think Michael Robinson is one of those rare persons that steps in the huddle and people believe in him and believe he's going to get the job done no matter what it takes. It might be with a play, it might be with his mind, it might be throwing the football. But I think everyone on that football team, whenever Mike says, 'Hey, we're going to go score,' I think they truly believe in him. He's just that type of person.
-
Anyone Quotes
Michael Robinson is one of those rare persons who steps in the huddle and people believe in him and believe he's going to get the job done. Anyone who's sacrificed as much as he has, playing different positions, and all the hard work that he's done, I think our players respect him very much. ... I know he has the confidence of this offensive football team and probably the defensive football team also, that when he steps on the football field he is our true leader.
-
Against Quotes
We have to understand that if you are going to be really good, you can't make some little mistakes. When (quarterback) Michael Robinson got sacked and fumbled the ball (last Saturday against South Florida) without knowing there was a backside guy coming, we had a terrible job done by someone.
-
Behind Quotes
We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players. But having said that, we cannot overlook all the work that Roberto Clemente has done for Puerto Rico and Latin America. I'm 100% behind having No. 21 retired.
-
Bigger Quotes
The school record is just a milestone on the way to a bigger goal. I owe so much to my dad (Dan) and mom (Martha) who have helped me get to the good camps, like the J. Robinson 28-Day Intensive Camp in Minneapolis, and other tournaments. I have learned a great deal about how to prepare.
-
Afraid Quotes
They're very much alike. The biggest difference is that Robinson is a little bit stronger. He played running back before, so he's not afraid to dip that shoulder and run you over. Just like we did against Vick, we have to contain him and make him one-dimensional, where he just throws the ball.
-
Basketball Quotes
It's an honor and privilege to come back and be the basketball coach at my alma mater, a place that means a great deal to me and is a big part of who I am today. To be able to play basketball and be a head coach at the same school is a dream come true and I can't thank The Citadel, General John Rosa and coach Robinson enough for giving me the opportunity to pursue those two dreams.
