Gotta Quotations | Page 4

To be the man, you've gotta beat the man/

Whether it's a kid in high school who doesn't have any friends and finds friends in my characters, or a guy in Afghanistan, who's trying to forget what he did that day, and trying not to think about what he's gotta do tomorrow... I give them a little bit of an escape.

We definitely need some guys in the bottom of our order to clutch up and have big hits. It's about executing and doing all the littler things. We gotta do that at the bottom half. Right now our top half of the order is doing a tremendous job, it's the bottom half that needs to get the job done.

We worked together every day since 1965. That's a long time to work with somebody everyday. You gotta be friends.

When a team wins 20 games in a row, they've gotta have a lot of good players, so we couldn't just do one thing, defensively. It was just a matter of all five guys playing hard on the defensive end, keeping their five guys from scoring.

Whose dick do I gotta suck to get some explosions around here?

To avoid this kind of wreck, you just can't race hard when you're in a tight space, ... You gotta be smart.

You have to be lucky. I mean, we were lucky. You gotta be good. But you gotta be lucky.

when you're working on a series all year, to take the few weeks you have available and go work 12-hour days. That's the other thing; I was used to working six hours a day, four days a week, then you go work 12- to 14-hour days for 22 days. That's considered an easy shoot, but I was still like, 'Oh, man. I've gotta get back on a sitcom.'

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus. You gotta help me make a stand,

Whether they're jukebox musicals I hate the term or new and hip, you gotta pick songs that support the story. If you don't feel for the characters, if you're not worrying about what is going to happen, you're going to fail.

We're going to the final four. We've gotta keep playing like we are.

With my cousin?s situation, I think maybe he got too many breaks, ... You gotta give people motivation to get out of that lifestyle.

What's really important? That I'm an individual, I guess. I am an individual - a strong one, too. I'm Natalie Cole. I gotta be me.

What he's doing is showing all those guys that either aren't in now or that are going is that there's great competition. He's raising the level and raising the bar, and everybody's gotta step up and be ready to compete.

Unless there is an injury somewhere along the line, our starting lineup will be set. Guys will settle in and not feel the pressure of having to get a hit to stay in the lineup the next day. We've been communicating all along, but there's still that edge of, 'Hey, I gotta get a couple hits here or I'm not going to play.' And it's not like that. We just said, 'Everybody win jobs,' and that's what they did.

We're getting quality chances, we just gotta start finishing. We just need to keep composed and do what we're doing.

We're reaching a point in the season when knees are starting to get a little bit tender, and shoulders. Especially in the men's game, you know, you've got 190 pounds, it's not the jumping, it's the landing. I want us to be as fresh as possible in late April or May. If we gotta give them some days off and let them recover, I think with the men it's real important to do that.

Toots said to me, 'I gotta hand it to him, thought,when he got into the big money, he came by and handed me the cash, saying, 'Here's what I'm sure I owe you.'

And theres others like taxidermist! You cant just go, Oh, I was just working at the chip shop, and I just started stuffing animals with sand, you know? Youve gotta want to be! I want to be a taxidermist! I wanna fill animals with sand. (mimes stuffing an animal) I wanna get more sand into an animal than anybody has ever bloody got in one. I wanna fill a rat with the entire Gobi Desert, so its really quite tight.

There have been people who've been a little shaky in class, but I gotta tell ya, they really step it up (on graduation night).

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending...we gotta let ourselves be.

When you pinch-hit like that, you gotta be aggressive. There were a couple of up-and-in fastballs that were not necessarily strikes, but a guy like that (Bonds) could hit it out.

When you play against someone that fast you gotta give them their space. They're gonna be coming after you, so you've just got to make sure you give yourself enough time to close down any space with them and not give them a head start, cause that's where you'll get caught.

Everybody in LA is really snobby, ... They were all like, 'We gotta go - on our way to do RenŽe Zellweger's house.' It was a typical LA experience. If you want to go to a restaurant in LA, you have to be on Desperate Housewives .

I stay excited 'cause for me, this is something I love to do. I'm like Coca Cola with it. I been here for a long time, I just gotta keep it nice and stay up to date and also give them that quality taste that they been looking for. It's nothing to me. When you built for it, you born for it, you do it cuz you wanna do it, not cuz you have to.

The top priority is to listen and to work with others to get working on this huge deficit. We gotta try to solve it.

The wind speaks, its been around the world, has seen many things, both good and bad, you just gotta listen

You can't change who you are. You gotta make adjustments, and we're a team that can play at multiple speeds.

You can never have enough quality front guys. All you've gotta do is have a couple of years where you're not too good up front to teach you the value of being strong on both lines. It's something we never want to have, a situation here where we are weak up front. That being the case, we probably allot more scholarships up front than other schools for that very reason.

You better enjoy working with each other. And you gotta have fun. You gotta enjoy each other. It's like getting married. You'll be spending more time with your business partner than your spouse, when you calculate the hours. So you better enjoy it.

While there seems to be a major commitment now, historically there hasn't been. It's not an automatic thing where they say we gotta cover that.

We were driving down the street one day, and said, 'We gotta learn to rap if we're gonna be in music today.' I was a paralegal, she was working in a hair salon. Now we're a million-dollar-a-year business and fly all over the country. We're also going to be in Vegas on a permanent basis beginning in April, going back and forth from Phoenix every week. We'll be hooking up with that new George Clooney hotel he's building there.

We seem to be getting good defense and good pitching. We just have to work on the hitting. We gotta get stronger. But you start six freshmen and three sophomores, you're going to get that.

As soon as we thought it would really be funny to have a fish for a gym coach, it popped in our heads, she's gotta have a really gruff voice because she's a gym coach. The first thing that came to mind was Brian Doyle Murray and we thought, well let's see if he'd be interested, and he said yes.

The Shins is, in a way, a recording project that turned into a live band. So I don't really keep myself beholden to any rules when I'm in the studio for Shins. I just gotta get it done as best I can.

The second one, I actually forgot to match up (on defense). (Army) almost scored. You gotta realize that you're still playing a basketball game after that.

The quiche, oh man, it's going to get me upset, ... I said we gotta go by and see.

When you got people down, you gotta keep them down.

When you get a chance to prove somebody wrong, much less the entire country, you gotta relish that.

When the game is on the line, they put the ball in my hands. I've gotta do what I've gotta do, I don't care if it's 50 shots, 60 shots, five shots.

We've just gotta execute and take care of the ball better. I think if we do that, we're in the game (on Tuesday).

We've got to be better five-on-five. The short-handed goal cost us, but it's the overall game we gotta look at.

I've still gotta come across as happy when inside I feel crap!

I've never seen him get angry. You gotta understand, in wrestling we spend so much time together. But I've never seen a malicious act by him.

The word 'finish' is a popular word around here, back to 2002. It's just a mentality of playing every play like it's your last, and we came out and were a little satisfied with how the first half of it went. We have to learn that when you have someone down, you gotta finish them off.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

It was tough but you just gotta stick by your teammates and cheer them on, ... I think the whole offense didn't perform like we thought they'd perform.

You get used to scoring 10 runs a game. This one kinda felt like we were going through the motions. You've still gotta go through them, though. And if this is a bad day, I'm OK with that.

You gotta admit, they are beautiful-looking dogs, (but) they are certainly, certainly a handful.

You gotta be able to pitch inside to have effectiveness. Especially we've got some big guys that, (Tuesday) night, we swung the bats pretty well against them. They probably adjusted and said, 'We're going to pitch inside.' Everybody's got to do it.

You gotta be able to play with the game on the line.

You gotta be a fool, frankly, to go on New Year's night to Times Square, ... I mean, I can't understand why people do that. Just one hand grenade thrown in the air and people panicking. It's just too tempting a target.

You gotta be a guy that really wants it. You gotta be a guy that's willing to take constructive criticism. You gotta be a guy that's resilient. A lot of things aren't going to go the way you want them to go in this league, so you gotta take that hit and be even stronger the next time.

You gotta be born with it, baby. We walk with the lip, we talk with the slang. And we pretty. We pretty, baby. We move like Ali in his young days. We good with the jab, good with the stab.

You gotta be careful with your body. Your body is like a bar of soap. The more you use it, the more it wears down.

You gotta believe. We've got to win every series from here on out. When the chips are down, nothing gets to this team. We've been like that all year. I think it's going to pay off.

You gotta believe you can coach. What works is getting the kids to believe in what you're doing. My guys at Auburn, if I asked them to run through a wall, they'd certainly give it a shot. I try to tell them how good I think they are and get them to believe they can be that good.

You gotta believe you're going to win the way that happened.

You gotta be on the same page. You gotta know where you're at. You gotta get contact and read off that.

You gotta be willing to take some shots and bounce back up. It's not new to this group to get up and fight.

You gotta be willing to work hard, be alert and like getting dirty.

You gotta bleed 'em in 60 seconds or less.

You gotta defend him. I'd put him up against any freshman in the state right now. He doesn't play like he's 14. Just the things he does around the basket, the way he rebounds, the way he finishes. ... (He's) just amazing.

You gotta do it on the field, not in the media.

You gotta get ahead and stay ahead. But if they do start fouling stuff off, change the speed. For me, that's when I put my slow one in there, something to get them off what they've been doing.

You gotta get lucky, in some terms. You gotta get on some players who maybe don't think they're that good and they play a lot better than they are. You gotta get on it in terms of injury, and then you have to make the right choices personnel-wise. The ones you think are going to be players, they all gotta be players and they gotta play up to it, so it's possible, definitely possible.

You gotta get that trimmed, or it'd look like you had an umbrella.

You gotta get up early in the morning to mess with me. I mean, I'm a businessman first-you gotta let the business come before the music, because it's all about being a good person and your ego can't get bigger than yourself and the things you're your trying to do, especially when you're promoting an album. So I feel it's real important to be businesslike in anything I do.

You gotta get your body into it! I grew up here! Like Mickelson in Phoenix,

You gotta give him a lot of credit for being ready and staying ready.

You gotta give it to Barry. His last game and he goes out on top. It's probably only fitting. He's a good football coach. I've told people, 'He's going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.' He's done a great job at Wisconsin. His players responded.

You gotta go hard. You stand hard. You sleep hard. Run hard. Everything's got to be fast. That's what we need. We need that slap on the rear end to get us going.

You gotta go in there, and you gotta go swing.

You gotta have love for something in your life, ... Music is in our veins.

You gotta have wisdom, ... To me, wisdom is understanding how God and the universe work.

You gotta keep going. You gotta have the hope there's gonna be someone down there and to bring closure to everyone.

You gotta keep throwing blows. The biggest thing I tried to stress was that the toughest team was going to win.

You gotta know the stuff you cannot do and can do as far as drinking and driving, and thinking nothing will happen.

You gotta know what the songs are about, otherwise you don't know how to play them. If it's about a rough guy, you play it a bit rougher or something like that.

You gotta know where he is at all times. You can't let him run free.

You gotta let a guy be himself, because that's what makes him. Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, all of them had the same attitude. If they don't have that ego kinda temperament they're not going to make it. You gotta be a selfish guy. Most people take selfishness as something bad, but it's really something good. If a guy don't help himself and think about himself first he won't make itnowhere in life doing nothing.

You gotta look up. The tournament is obviously in jeopardy, so if we want to be there, we just gotta do it.

You gotta love it baby. Oh my goodness.

You gotta love it. No fog, nice breeze, plenty warm. Is sure is nice.

You gotta love it. That's the way this rivalry has been since I got here, and I expected no less than that today.

You gotta love the names. They're so eager, earnest, and hopeful: Camp Prosperity, Camp Liberty, and Camp Victory are the names of just a few of the U.S. military bases in Baghdad.

You gotta (manufacture runs) sometimes. Sometimes you are gonna be a little lethargic.

You gotta play every possession, ... Every possession counts. It's like the NBA playoffs.

You gotta play for as many people as you can. It's, like, if someone wants to see you, and they, you know, can't, then that's lame.

You gotta play the best in order to be the best. It does us no good to be undefeated heading into conference play. We want to make sure we've seen some good teams before we get (into conference).

You gotta remember, I'm 24 years old. Who knows if I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing? But yeah, I'd like to rock out some day!

You gotta respect them. You can't just throw lollipop pitches up there.

You gotta show me good faith here. We're gonna try and help. You're not the big fish, you're a small player. I'm trying to build an argument for you that you're helping us. You gotta give me something. Who's one of your friends that went to camp?

You gotta take your shot if you don't want to pay what you owe.

You gotta think numbers have some higher significance in our lives, given the fact before anything we were given the ability to count.

You gotta understand, I've been with him for three years and I've seen a lot of things go down. The thing I do know is he's getting better and better each time he walks on the floor. And I don't know if we've seen the best of him yet. That's the scary part of this whole thing.

You gotta understand, there weren't a whole lot of roles for Hispanics in the Eighties, so comedy was really the way I could really feed myself and eventually feed my family. I was an actor who learned to be a comic, and it's cool to come back and get back into acting - move forward in the direction I started out to do in the beginning.

You gotta understand -- the state of Mississippi was in rebellion. It had rebelled against the United States, ... Now that has been a very difficult story for America to tell, but that's what actually happened.

You gotta understand what I?m about, ... This is a team sport.
