Assistant Quotations

My first job, which I had to take when not more than fifteen, was assistant to a fruit peddler. It seemed all right to me until a little girl told me snootily, 'We never deal with peddler!' Thereupon I resigned, ashamed of what I was doing.

As with many teens, my first jobs included babysitting and mopping floors at McDonald's.

By 1954, as an assistant professor with a group of three graduate students, I was able to initiate more complex experimental projects, dealing with the structure, stereochemistry and synthesis of natural products. As a result of the success of this research, I was appointed in 1956, at age twenty-seven, as professor of chemistry.

Some people would ask: 'You are not the one who does the painting, or shot the work, how can it be your work?' But I was the one who chose which site we should use, and which assistant helps me to do the painting, or the shot.

I was able to go from stage hand to floor manager to assistant director to director in a year because there was just no one else to do it and what I didn't realise and what people don't understand now about television is that we used to do about five shows a day.

The first person who contacted us was the assistant to President Eisenhower... in the White House.

I was fortunate that I came out to the Valley in 1979, when I came out to go to Stanford Business School, and my very first assignment as a teaching assistant for an investments professor was to - he told me go down to this computer company in Cupertino called Apple.

I worked as a production assistant on a couple of films, and finally, I got a job at an animation studio as an editor. After that, work begat work. I got into directing music videos and commercials.

I think what we ought to be focusing on is that we are on path for the release of 75,000 pages of documents in connection with John Roberts' work in the White House, as in the counselor's office and as his time working as an assistant in the office of the attorney general.

My assistant says I'm an eBay auction waiting to happen. I have a very large collection of T-shirts... about 4,000 now. Maybe I'll pillage it someday. I have resisted the offers to do a line of T-shirts.

The war project at Stanford was essentially completed, and I accepted an offer of an Assistant Professorship at the University of Minnesota, which had a good biochemistry department.

To me, there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut, sent up as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge.

For a short time I was an assistant to a professional photographer, and I felt that my soul was not there. That is the stage when I decided to stay in London and do a graduate degree.

I treat my writing like a day job, like my main job, even if for many years I was doing other jobs to pay the bills. I worked as a copy editor. I was a medical guinea pig. I was an eBay power seller of ladies' handbags. I was an assistant to a bookie at the horse races. I bartended. I did anything I could to make ends meet.

In the story I eventually called 'Archangel' and published in 2008, Eudora MacEachern, working as an assistant to a surgeon at a hospital in Archangel, one night finds outside the gates an exhausted and frostbitten soldier crouched over the reins of a pony sleigh carrying the body of another soldier.

Football is such a team sport, so no one individual does it. No one coach or no one assistant coach or no one player, it's a great team sport, so I don't get carried away with a bunch of accolades.

I'm on tour all the time, so I stop at thrift shops. The minute we hit a town, I'll have my assistant Googling thrift stores. I have him go check beforehand; then we go there.

I have an assistant who's very good at email, so I don't struggle with it.

Passion and hunger are the two ingredients that I look for in first making the judgment on - whether an athlete, an assistant coach, or a horse trainer or anybody I do business with.

Once Joe Paterno learned that his former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was showering with a young boy in the Penn State football locker room, he had two choices: think of the child as his own and call police. Or not. He chose the latter.

My instinct about a human being is paramount. For me, when a director has walked into my room or an assistant that I have hired, who has later gone on to become a director, is purely based on human instinct, be it Ayan Mukerji, Karan Malhotra, Punit Malhotra or Tarun Mansukhani. I am very susceptible to human energy and energy of spaces.

There's this wonderful first assistant and he'll be saying, 'Now Harry goes down among the dragons.' You have to hold yourself together. Because if you lose it for a second then you're sunk.

Al Davis has been the biggest influence in my professional football life. I mean, he was a guy that gave me an opportunity, one, to get into professional football in 1967 as an assistant coach, and then at the age of 32, giving me the opportunity to be the head coach.

Waiting for me in Stockholm will be a personal assistant - Katrina from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - as well the secretary of the Swedish Academy. They'll help us with our things and take us to our hotel. From the moment I arrive, I'll always be together with the other two laureates.

If my assistant goes off and becomes successful, and people want to work with him, I'd take that as a compliment that I'd trained them well.

I'm crazy lucky. I was trying to be a filmmaker. I was doing Second City classes as a way to be creative. I was a PA for a long time. I was working as an assistant editor on 'Iron Chef America' when I got 'SNL.' It was one of those situations where you're concentrating in one thing and the peripheral thing popped.

I kind of romanticized what it was like to be a writer and director when I was in my early twenties. Working as a production assistant knocked that right out of me.

I was a production assistant in the post department on 'The Surreal Life.' And it's been reported before that I was an assistant editor on 'The Surreal Life.' That is not true.

I first met Kim Dae Jung when he was a Korean dissident whose life was threatened by the military regime ruling in Seoul. I was Ronald Reagan's Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, and Kim was directed to me because the East Asia Bureau at the State Department had long shunned him.

My assistant coaches have watched them. I'm watching tape right now. They're a good team. Very athletic. But that's what were focused on and that's what's important right now.

My assistant coach kept telling to me take it to the goal and get fouled. I just had to slow down and concentrate and start knocking my free throws down.

My assistant (Doug Barba) and I were giggling over the summer. This is like the beginning of a good movie, and you can't wait to see how it ends.

My assistant Fran Amara said it was probably the best half he?s played this season. We really played like a team, making the extra pass and finding the open man. When we play like a team, we?re hard to beat.

My assistant is my Sidekick. Just today the battery died because I forgot to charge it last night and I almost lost it.

My assistant said he didn't have any problems with the track, and hopefully he doesn't.

My assistant told me there was a very insistent boy waiting to see me, who was a bit too cocky for his own good.

My assistant told me to keep my composure, but I hadn't said anything all game and I wanted them to know I wasn't happy with that call. The thing that upsets me most is now I have to go buy a box of pencils because I'm out.

I was standing right next to my assistant coach and I couldn't hear anything he said to me during that whole timeout.

I was fired from two agencies, and the first time, they padlocked my office, my assistant was crying and they were literally trying to take my Rolodex out of my hands -- which I later learned you are legally allowed to take -- as I was escorted from the building. The best thing was that they forgot to turn off my company car phone. And back then -- this was in 1989 -- your car phone bill could run $800 a month. I wound up using it for four more months.

My ultimate dream or goal would be to be the head coach at Purdue. There have been other college opportunities, but I am happier here as an assistant where my roots are.

Personally, I think he has the coaching ability. A lot of it will depend on his staff. He'll need to add to his staff an assistant coach who has some connections to urban areas and be able to attract inner-city kids.

I was practicing my dry-land paddle skills in a basketball court near North Village one night and an outdoor adventure assistant noticed me.

I worked in fashion, but I worked more in the sales side of fashion than in design. I was an assistant buyer for a department store back in the '70s and the early years of Saint Laurent. And I used to have a lot of private clients that I bought for.

I would expect Bush to appoint an assistant attorney general for antitrust who would settle for wimpy relief, but then you still have the 19 states suing, so it would be up to them.

I was surprised (at the amount of job openings). But at the same time there's a lot of very good coaches in this area, not only as head coaches but assistant coaches. So it was just a matter of them finding the right fit and moving forward. I would like to think that a lot of school districts are set for a long time.

When the mayor was elected, the administrative assistant was a position he requested be added. Because he was the first black mayor in Selma - something that got attention worldwide - he felt he needed someone skilled in administrative work. If you go into his office, he's rarely ever sitting there by himself. Calls came in all the time requesting him to speak and still do.

My father was an engineer, ... But I found out that the film critics for the Stanford Daily got free passes for all the films. So I became first an assistant critic and then the main film critic. Those free passes changed my life.

My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They've always been really great; they just want me to be happy.

Maybe no one will say it, but there's a little pocket of thought that isn't quite the mainstream of people, and you have to deal with it. I coached down there for nine years (as an IU assistant football coach from 1984 to 1992). I dealt with it, but I wasn't the head coach.

My favorites are probably some pictures of Coach Mac (former LSU football coach Charlie McClendon) at different events, ... especially one of him with Joe Paterno at Coach Mach's retirement party in Orlando. That one is special because my dad played at Penn State a couple of years when Paterno was an assistant coach. Paterno was my dad's hero at Penn State.

Obviously, Murray State has got a great program and a great tradition. As an assistant coach, everybody has aspirations to be a head coach, but in no way am I in a hurry to leave the University of Alabama.

Obviously, this was very special for me, growing up in North Carolina, growing up on ACC basketball and being an assistant in this league at Wake Forest.

Rick was a great teammate. Rick is doing well. Who knows, maybe he will need an assistant coach one day.

I have got a lot of kids who just believe in one another. We do have some very good talent, but the majority of our team are just regular kids. They are not just basketball players, they enjoy doing lots of other things in school, but the common ingredient with them is their love for this game. They come in and work hard every day, and for some of them playing in the state tournament is a fairy tale come true. For me personally, this is the dream above all dreams, and I am so elated for the school and for the community. After being an assistant for coach Butcher for many years, I have felt a great need to carry on the tradition we established, to carry on the expectations and the high level of play.

I have great assistant coaches, and I rely on them. I don't have to do everything myself.

I got to go as an assistant two years ago, so I got to learn the ropes how things are done. As a head coach, you can pick the assistants. It's an honor. It only happens once a year, and there are a lot of coaches in the state.

I don't have enough credentials to be the full-time guy, but I am the assistant offensive line coach for my son's seventh-grade football team,

I don't go for holidays or celebrate my success because I know nothing is permanent. I don't let it get to me - like I am India's top director with too many hits. If that happens, I might lose the connect with my audience. The day I go wrong, they will run away from me. I want to be like an assistant director all my life.

I didn't always dream of being an actor - I started out as an assistant director, so doing things away from the camera is natural for me.

I didn't get much sleep last night. It was tough knowing you had a part in getting out of here a guy who gave you a chance to be an assistant coach at this level.

Last year was our first year in the league and my first year in the league as a head coach. I had been in this league before as an assistant and knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and hard it is to win on the road. I think our kids are better at it after going through it one time. We're more experienced and now that we have Anthony Harris back, I think we're playing better basketball.

Lori Parker, one of our assistant team leaders here in Calgary has a daughter attending Kansas, who Bradley already beat this tournament so I had fun teasing her about that.

Lou is a great, multi-talented (guy). He does great work (in sculpture). He brought his expertise from Don Haskins, used his big-man coaching. He played quite a bit with the kids. That was my first two years at the Academy; I was his assistant coach, his JV coach. When he was at the Academy, I was at Holy Ghost.

Let the assistant coach come up to me and say, 'Gerry McNamara is overrated.' I'd like to see one of those guys come up to me and say that. He's been double-teamed all year, and the coaches voted him first team all-conference. The head coaches, they don't know (expletive), I guess.

Let me ask you something. What would you do if you were falsely accused? ... I'm fine, but I'm worried about my son. He's one of the finest assistant coaches in America, but he's been stigmatized. He has no job right now, but he's had two or three people tell him they would hire him if all this wasn't going on.

She's a great team leader. Being named the assistant captain shows that the teammates look up to her.

Meghan asked me if she could be an assistant coach. Her presence around the team is so important. She is so respected and liked by all the girls that we felt honored for her to be back with us.

Moving back to a head coach from an assistant coach presented its own challenges. When you are the head coach you are setting the tone. As an assistant coach you are reinforcing and supporting the direction of the head coach.

She always been an assistant (in club) and she never said much, but every once in a while (as head coach) it was like her telling me I was doing something wrong at home. I had to work past that.

She is a no-nonsense judge, and she doesn't abide by nonsense from the defense or the prosecutor. Being a former assistant U.S. attorney, she holds the government attorneys to a very high standard, which is as it should be. She is evidently very disturbed by the developments in this case, which is as it should be as well.

She has been incredible for us. Katie does a lot for us behind the scenes and I just wanted to thank her publicly for, being in my mind, the perfect assistant coach.

When I was assistant coach of Harlequins, I came to Castres and got walloped, so I've seen what they are capable of,

When you're a GM ? or a personnel manager or assistant GM ? you're already in the basketball world. Which isn't the world of dealing, of business, of thinking how this fits with that. I wanted knowledge that went to another level. I wanted a statistical side other people don't have.

She talks to all the other coaches and even the assistant coaches. She introduces herself to people. At the big meets there are these huge warm-ups with girls running into each other, and usually when people do that, they come up growling at each other. Joy will pop up and smile and say hello. She's a wonderful person first, then coincidentally happens to be a really great swimmer.

So I'm going to reveal something to you. As there is a public debate, I had one too with my assistant coaches and we have decided, for the first time, that we will not reveal the lineup of the team before the match.

She was just mowing us down. Rick (Breed, assistant coach) was threatening to bunt earlier. In the fifth, we started laying some down.

She still comes to practice. She works out with the throwers. They do things she can do without hurting her knee. We'd love to see doctors OK her to at least throw the shot put. But we miss her in long jump and the relays. I've got no assistant coaches, so she's kind of my volunteer assistant.

She's a really nice lady, and she's a really talented coach. She was great with the kids, the best assistant I had in my eight seasons at Brown.

I have a tremendous staff. Any of them could have been the head coach, if not for the rule about having to be an assistant first. I'm real fortunate.

I have been an assistant long enough to know that you don't stop making suggestions if your suggestion is turned down. You just keep on making suggestions. If I make 10 suggestions, he is not going to use 10 of them, but he is going to use some of them.

He knew I had head-coaching aspirations. You can't be the second assistant all your life.

I'd done it before. It's a heavy load, and I was a lot more hands on when I first took over. But I was very relieved when (James and Christ) were able to take over - I'm pretty much their assistant now. We've got two of the best coaches in the state right there. What they've done is nothing short of miraculous.

I can't remember a year when I've moved on as quickly. I made a concerted effort to do that this morning when I got up. I talked to Candice (Wiggins); I talked to my assistant coaches. I am really motivated by the fact that I don't want to be feeling this way a year from today.

I am concerned about information I have received indicating that President Bush, himself may have supplanted the role of veteran career litigators at the Department of Justice, ... As a result, I am particularly interested in learning about what role, if any, Phil Perry, associate attorney general and Vice President Cheney's son-in-law; Alberto Gonzales, assistant to the president and White House counsel; and Larry Lindsey, assistant to the president for economic policy and director, National Economic Council, played in this decision.

If it was some other coach, I could see the transition being horrible. But since he came from Iowa and was an assistant coach for so long and he knows a lot of the wrestlers, I think that is going to help out a lot.

I became lecturer in the Fuel Chemistry Department of Kyoto Imperial University in 1943, assistant professor in 1945, and professor in 1951.

I have an assistant coach and we're just trying to build technique on some of the short game stuff.

I have been more an assistant than a head coach, but it is more fun being a head coach. It is more agony, too. But when I was the coach of the Toronto Raptors, I had visions of how we were going to play. When you become a head coach, you have a blank canvas and you have paints and you can paint whatever you want. As an assistant coach, you make suggestions.

Here it was basically a smooth transition, despite the problems that were encountered in a lot of areas, ... Mr. Essic Williams came over as assistant principal and became a big influence on my life. He played a big role in helping the transition to go smoothly.

When I am on the field, I am an assistant coach responsible to the head coach and I convey that attitude, ... I am a volunteer to help these young men kick the football. That's my job in that arena.

I'll always look for the 3 ball but they were kind of shading me. I just tried a few drives. J.T. (CCHS assistant coach James Thompson) taught me a few of them in practice yesterday.
