Jackie Quotations | Page 2

Debra Bowen, Deborah Ortiz and Jackie Speier will definitely harm their chances for statewide office if they overturn California voters on something as sacred as marriage between a man and a woman,

During my senior year, I was supposed to spend a semester student teaching, but decided I couldn't be a teacher. My aunt Beth's friend was Jackie Gleason's daughter, Linda Miller. She encouraged me to talk to her. After doing that, she recommended Catholic University's M.F.A. acting program. So that's what I did.

Although she gets a particular pleasure from portrait and reverse-glass painting, Jackie has recently added miniature art to her list of accomplishments.

There was a little adjustment in defense from Saturday's game. We were more inspired to win today. Whitney shot very well and Jackie had three huge 3-pointers and did well on defense.

Every year we discuss Jackie Robinson Day, which is April 15. We talk about it throughout baseball, promote it throughout baseball.

This is a special moment for baseball, a special moment for African Americans. Just like it is every time April 15 comes up. I think last year was really special because I was wearing the uniform that Jackie wore.

In 1961, Jackie Gleason, who was then at the height of his fame, premiered a game show called 'You're in the Picture.' It was so bad that Gleason came back the next week, sat down on a stool on a bare stage and apologized to the American public for that terrible show.

I let my game do the talking. I've had incidents like that but when I compare my own story to the stories that have happened forty or fifty years ago particularly to Jackie Robinson for example.

I've got pictures of Jackie in my office. I reflect on things like that every day.

I've got a picture of Jackie in my office, so I think about that every day. I'm just happy to be a part of this day.

I had never played a real-life character. All the characters that I'd played before were fictitious. So I'd spent all this time creating the affectations and amassing all of the attributes and characteristics and mannerisms, and then Jackie came to the set the first day of filming. I kicked everyone else out of my trailer, and we started to talk. He told me, in his own words, just for him and I, what the whole story was about for him and what that trial meant to him. After that meeting, all of the work that had gone into building the mannerisms and attributes seemed secondary. The most important element was to understand and believe in his cause.

If I was the Jackie Robinson of golf, I sure didn't do a very good job of it. Jackie was followed by hundreds of great black ballplayers who have transformed their sport... But there are hardly any black kids coming up through the ranks of golf today.

I'm real pleased with Jackie Zeeman. I thought she stepped up a great deal.

I loved when my dad was home. He liked to sit in the living room and watch boxing and baseball on TV. Or he'd be tinkering around or listening to records by his musician buddies - George Shearing, Oscar Peterson and the Jackie Gleason Orchestra.

In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.

If you drop that ball out there, everybody knows: 'Man, Michael blew the game,' ... Jackie Smith. Tight end. Dropped the ball. That's the only thing I know of him, because he had it right here in his hands. Now, you make the play... The Catch. Everybody remembers it.

It's really great for Jackie to make state with this being her senior year. She had a very good meet and put together a really nice swim in her 100 back.

As you look at these powerful images, you see there is something very dignified about this woman. Warhol was very into the elegance rather than the tragedy of Jackie Kennedy. These images are about sorrow, loss and mourning.

It went excellent. I'm not lying. I said I didn't want to come here because of that speech. I saw Jackie (Stiles) do it and it made me nervous.

I heard all the black people buzzing about this man in Brooklyn named Jackie Robinson. I asked who he was and they told me. Right then, I said, 'I want to play for the Dodgers someday.' That was my childhood dream.

I read something a few years back that said there were a few black players who didn't even know who Jackie Robinson was,

He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.

It was Jackie Robinson that inspired Dr. King to the very core of his being and encouraged him and allowed him to live out the full potential of his life. In 1947, we were living in a very different world than we are today.

They were closing down on Jackie (Albrecht) on the inside and that's our strong point. We were trying to force it inside to her sometimes.

It just wasn't clicking for her last night. She's starting to feel better and better all the time. Jackie is a wild woman when it comes to the conference meet. I hope that she can be healthy on the conference day, and she'll run well.

It's a new gown based on one of Jackie Kennedy's favorite gowns. It was one of the only ones she ever wore more than once,

Any time our speed is on base, it just puts that much more pressure on the defense. The last thing I said to Jackie is hit the ball on the ground and get Gammon to third. That's all she was thinking and she did a really nice job.

A photograph can make you feel so many different things. When you look at war photographs of Vietnam, or something similar, it makes you feel anguish and sadness and pain. Then in other moments, when you look at Jackie Kennedy walking down Fifth Avenue, that makes you feel glory and richness.

All he has is his wits. He's not a superhero. He doesn't have any Jackie Chan martial-arts moves, ... And every episode, his planning and preparation and cleverness run smack into the wall of fate, chance, accident, human nature -- things you can't predict or prepare for.

The trip to Hawaii was great, except for Jackie getting hurt. ... That was a bummer. We were really concerned about her. ... Then after that, you have to pull it together as a team. We have other great players, so you just have to find a way to make it work.

For me he is the Jackie Robinson of Latin baseball. He lived racism. He was a man who was happy to be not only Puerto Rican, but Latin American. He let people know that. And that is something that is very important for all of us.

Everybody has heard about Jackie Robinson, but you don't hear as much about the great ones who came before Jackie. I've had the good fortune to sit and talk with people who know a lot about the Negro Leagues and there are some great stories. It makes you want to go do more research about those individuals who made it all happen. It's a thrill that they are being recognized.

There was no special treatment. Do I believe that Jackie (Dennis) was harmed? Yes, I believe her.

There's definitely a growing gap between African-American culture and baseball. The doors Jackie Robinson worked on opening may not be closing, but the hinges are definitely getting rusty.

I told her that Jeff Buckley brings a tear to my eye. By coincidence Jackie was a Buckley fan had been to a Bright Eyes concert the night before and I really liked him too. It blew my mind that I'd met a woman who was not only into the same music, but with whom I could talk about Omaha poker strategy. When I first started chatting to Jackie I was even unaware that she was a woman because it's often hard to tell by the nicknames people use online.

It was the first time I ever played with him, ... It was me and Jackie against Jack and another teammate. I was nervous as I could be.

It was the first time I ever played with him, ... I was maybe a sophomore in college. It was me and Jackie against Jack and another teammate. I was nervous as I could be.

It made me as a voter not vote for Jackie L. Currie, ... I felt like Jackie L. Currie shouldn't be running things.

They're incredibly, incredibly close, kind of telepathically close, ... And once Jackie disappeared into the world of superstardom, she kind of starts displaying symptoms of MS (multiple sclerosis) and kind of really losing it. And she goes back to her sister and basically says, I want to sleep with your husband, which is ... pretty shocking.

Jackie Chan is a myth.

Jackie Robinson is a true legend.

There's people saying that 'Jackie Brown' was a blaxploitation movie, when there's nothing at all blaxploitation about it other than Pam Grier being in it.

The martial arts that I got into was because of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, because of all of the animal styles at the time. It was around about the time when Jackie was doing 'Drunken Master,' and, like, Snake versus this and that.

I wound up signing to RCA Victor as a trumpeter, guesting on shows like Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners.
