Hilton Quotations

I still sing, but completely for my own pleasure. I play a nightclub singer in 'Sparkle,' but I'd like to pursue it a bit more. I sang at a friend's 60th at Claridge's the other month; I did 'Baby It's Cold Outside' with the actor Hilton McRae, and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.'

The team we had, the Hobie Vita-Pakt Super Surfer team, you know, the Hilton boys were on there, Conrad Hilton's grandkids, and they were really good. After being around those kids, I could ride a little. Do a 360, some kick-turns, stuff like that.

We're in a celebrity culture, and when I turn on the news today I hear about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and Paris Hilton and the Kardashian sisters and 'Dancing with the Stars,' one thing after another, Kate Gosselin's new body.

For tech, I like the 'DailySearchCast', 'TWiT' and anything Veronica Belmont does on CNET. I think Perez Hilton is a riot, and the rest of my consumption is by people: Folks like Dave Winer, Fred Wilson, Mark Cuban, Brian Alvey, Jeff Jarvis, Xeni Jardin, etc.

Of course there are all the negative reviews, which also are incredibly important. Hilton Kramer hated the work, and if he had loved it I would have wanted to commit suicide. I still remember to this day that he called me a lunatic and he said the work is the kind of trash that washed ashore when the tide of pop art went out... and I thought, Gee, if he doesn't like what I'm doing, then I must be on the right track.

Right now, I think Hilton has clearly put a wrench in the process by offering $70 per share.

Front desk clerks at Hilton are generally empowered to listen to any reasonable request. We probably wouldn't treat you to a $500 dinner for two, but if you're walked from the New York Hilton and Towers, we might take you over in our limo to a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Marriott International is a huge portion of that Longleaf fund -- 10.7 percent as of June 30. Host Marriott comprises around 5 percent, and Hilton around 4 percent. If you've got 20 percent of your assets in hotels, and no one's traveling, you'll take a hit.

Steve Hilton is an amazing receiver; he has a great set of hands.

If he puts me in there for 15 seconds or whether it's a lot of minutes, I just want to go out there and do something positive. Hilton and Josh got in foul trouble. I knew I had to step in there and bring a big lift, because I don't want to go home early.

Hilton really came into his own this year and I'm very happy for him. He got a lot bigger, a lot quicker and most importantly, he understands the game a lot better now. He understands the game and how to use his body. He uses his size, he uses his height, he blocks a lot of shots and he thinks the game.

Hilton we lost for about two weeks. He got to the Big East tournament, was the defensive player of the year and he had a little letdown. I don't know what it was. He's such an emotional kid. But we've got him back and thank God we got him back tonight.
