Ernest Hunter

Without giving him too much praise, he's a dynamo. He's so full of energy; he's all over the plays. He's eager, he's young, he's strong, he's fast, he's explosive. If you want to look for a guy that gives 100 percent, look to Craig Wilson.

Julia Roberts

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Bill Walker

I am totally shocked. My wife (Patti) and I were talking earlier and we were sitting here crying. It's unbelievable. Daniel was a super-awesome kid. He played for me for two years as pitcher, shortstop and third baseman. I'm devastated.

Tim Able

I can't say enough about our line. We were able to move our linemen around and get them some good angles. Obviously, Daniel will say that's always the key for him. They make the holes and he just runs through them.

Bob Payne

I can tell when Daniel is going to make it. His hands are on the ball.

Dominique McElligott

I distinctly remember watching Daniel Day Lewis in 'My Left Foot,' and my parents were discussing the fact that he's an actor. To me, it was a foreign concept. I was like, 'Someone is pretending to do that? That's so awesome!' After that, it just stayed in the back of my mind.

Rick Barnes

One thing about Daniel is he does take a lot of pride in wanting to guard people. If I called a time out, say someone is playing really well, and I say 'who wants to guard them?' There's no doubt he puts his hand up quicker than anybody.

Oh my goodness me, Daniel Day-Lewis - huge, huge fan of his. I've always loved his philosophy on acting: he always talks about returning to a state of play.

Devon Bostick

I have always been down to test what I can do and push the limits of my acting. I have always wanted to try new genres and stuff - but I love comedy.

Queen Rania of Jordan

Now and always, hard-line policy and those who embrace it are vessels for darker forces that are at once self-cannibalizing and combustible. No good can come of them. They are unsustainable because their sense of righteousness denies human worth.

Gilbert Hernandez

I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with something darker and heavier. I don't know how to explain it, because I'm not a political person. I have two political stories, and that's it: 'Human Diastrophism' and 'Poison River.'

Nick Tosches

To me, music's something I can dance to or listen to. To write about it is always more of what the music represents, or what it reflects. Like an ideal song, to me, is a song that you can dance to, that summons up some darker and greater mystery.

Sarah McLachlan

The darker and the sadder the song, the happier it makes me feel. It's just this, ah. I'm in the moment. I'm part of this beautiful world, and it's fantastic, and I don't really know how else to describe it.

He understands what you have to have to win and he doesn't deviate from his game plan. That's why we're consistent, year in and year out.

Jeffrey Lurie

The only model to me that correlates with big success in the NFL is having a Hall of Fame franchise quarterback.

Frank Hamblen

Right now it isn't realistic. This franchise has had a lot of success for a long time, and they're redoing it. Sometimes you have to pay the piper, and we're going to have to pay the piper for a while. That's the way it is.

Stan Chesley

No outsider has ever seen the profit and loss statement of a franchise or of the league itself.

Gary Green

One-third young guys, one-third in the middle and one-third experienced. It's how you keep a franchise consistently good.

Bob McNair

A quarterback that goes out and performs for you and is a franchise quarterback is more valuable than a player playing another position, but there's a lot more risk there. It's a more difficult position to play, and there are lot more failures.

Jeffrey Lurie

When you inherit a franchise that won one playoff game in the last 10 years, you've inherited a troubled franchise.

Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.

We have to have a good week of practice. We've got to get back to fundamentals.

Craig Beesley

We have to go up there tomorrow and play good ball.

Mike Thomas

We have to get there, but we should be on our way (to the title game). There's other good teams up there, but we should have a good shot.

Jordan Leopold

We have to get off to a good start. It's one of those things of whoever wants it the most is going to end up getting it.

Siv Meisingseth

We have normal traffic today and the prospects for tomorrow are good too.

Jason Fuchs

I'm a sucker for 'When Harry Met Sally' and all that romantic stuff.

Jessica Williams

My favorite place in the world is the Harry Potter tour near London.

Kim Novak

I don't feel that I was a Hollywood-created star. Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.

Arnold Rothstein

Who cares about that stuff? This is America, not Jerusalem. I'm an American. Let Harry be a Jew.

David Heyman

Fred Greenstein

When a presidency has been turned around, particularly the modern presidency, there's often an outside element.
