Holly Johnson Quotations

We have such a high drop-out rate from musicians, said the head of the college. He was right - I dropped out before I even dropped in. Months later they were still asking what had happened to me, not realising that I was on a UK tour.

Writing is a creatively rewarding occupation but for me very time consuming.

This hype word bothers me though It always sounds like an accusation, what does it mean, advertising, column inches in the press? Bands themselves are never really responsible for all of that. That is something that happens to you when you sell millions of records.

Although we were The Spice Girls of 1984 in Europe, My work has never been widely promoted in the U.S.

I always saw being in a band a full time job.

I always saw myself as a multi media artist.

I am financing the recording myself. So I have no big names to drop.

Let's face it I am not Joan Collins or Boy George.

To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now

What can I tell you? I continue to be creative, but have only been commercially successful outside of the U.S.

I wanted to make the kind of records that I heard in the discos that I danced in at that time. Funky, electronic sounds, while the musicians in the band were more rock oriented. This I suppose created the sound we know as Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

She's an awesome player. You saw what she did out there.

She would never make you do anything she wouldn't do herself. That's the key to being a good manager and a good leader.

One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.

I think it's been the topic of conversation for everyone.... If the U.S. is hit again, how are we going to handle it? Our troops are all over the place.

I think it's been the topic of conversation for every one... If the U.S. is hit again, how are we going to handle it? Our troops are all over the place.

I was trying to stay with her, but she was always a step ahead of me and the rest of our team.

It felt really good. I felt like I was in a great rhythm tonight. It was good to see that. I've been a bit shaky the past couple of games but I really felt the rhythm and I just took the open shots that I had.

I think one of our biggest things is our start. We need to come out ready. And I think, since the start of the year, it has been our defense. Just go out and be relaxed. It's a fun time of the year.

I wasn't feeling well but I wasn't going to quit. This is a fun team. Everyone is really close and we've all become close friends.

I was never that into being a bass player in a group. I did it for the experience and was more interested in writing the lyrics for that band.

We had to work a little harder without her out there.

We've been preparing for this all year. It's a great feeling for us.

Tonight's game gave us a lot better competition than our last game. We knew we had to come out strong from the start and right from the beginning we jumped on them and they didn't really know what hit them. They kept with us a little bit but we just kept playing hard. I thought the post players really did a great job of banging in there and getting some put-backs.

I spent some time with a family friend in Plains, Montana,

Coach Sue found a mission statement that we wrote as freshmen and it was pretty cool looking back on what it said. It was about committing to Florida State and making a difference during our four years here. It is cool to look back and see that we were the ones that really wanted to take Florida State to the next level and to see that what we wrote, we actually followed through with.

It was definitely emotional after the game. For us seniors, it's been a great ride.

Any time you go on the road in the ACC and get a win, it's amazing and we'll take any one we can get. What it meant for our team is it's giving us confidence for the next couple of games.

I think my teammates really set up some great screens to get me open.

Candice Wiggins is such a great player. Just guarding her in the first half, I was just trying to stay with her. She was always a step ahead of me and the rest of the team.

I think it's been the topic of conversation for every one... If the U.S. is hit again, how are we going to handle it? Our troops are all over the place.

I think the main thing you have to remember when going into the post-season is to stay relaxed. All of the energy and excitement can be overwhelming but the thing I'll try to relay to the younger players is just stay calm and focused.

What can I tell you I continue to be creative, but have only been commercially successful outside of the U.S.

The great thing was my teammates really set some great screens to get me open. I just went out there and played basketball.

I feel I have to live a little longer before I write a sequel to my auto biography which covers my experiences up until October 1991.
