Jeff Quotations

The director is a Canadian, Jeff Stephenson, and any time I get a script that has any Canadian component, I'm always immediately much more interested.

I wish I could have performed with Jeff Buckley, but I missed my chance.

My guitar heroes are Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and people like that - so I've tried to make an album of Robert Johnson covers that, well, while not totally faithful for blues purists, is faithful for people like me that grew up with the '60s and the electric blues-rock versions of Johnson's songs.

When I was around 13 or 14, I started getting really into songwriting. And one day, I was rooting through my mum's old tapes and records, and I found 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley. I remember so vividly the first time I put it on. It blew my mind: his voice, the way he could play the guitar. I must have listened to the album over and over for weeks.

The kids today have these fresh faces. It's like they're on pins and needles, waiting to see what I'm going to do. They've never seen me. In the 1960s, those were hippies. They were wired up already. The kids today know me because I've worked with Jeff Tweedy and other young producers.

It's never going to get better than working opposite an actor like Jeff Bridges. That's as good as it gets. I don't even know what to refer to him as. He's just a great guy. He's iconic on his own merits.

It's funny, because I was trained as a dramatic actor at New York's Colonnades Theater Lab in the '70s, along with Jeff Goldblum, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. People I worked with there saw a comedian in me. I'm still most at home in comedy.

Almost no one wants to admit the genius of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Apparently, many have failed to see that Amazon has become the world's biggest retail company.

I have never seen Jeff Bezos, Marc Benioff, or Reed Hastings complain about being public. Nor have they ever argued that being public prevented them from doing things with a long-term focus.

It was probably when I met Jeff Hamilton, the drummer I've been working with for the last 20 years. He's the one who brought Ray Brown to hear me sing at a restaurant in my hometown.

My personal favourite is Jeff Beck. All the others are wonderful as well.

The worst story I ever wrote was after the conviction of Jeff Skilling and Ken Lay. My co-author and I wrote a piece for 'Fortune' saying everything's going to be different now.

Is there anyone out there who is the next Steve Jobs? I think Jeff Bezos is pretty close. He is very smart. He is extremely creative. He has completely reinvented the way in which commerce is done online.

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.

Jeff VanderMeer's fiction has always been entrancingly, engagingly, enthusiastically weird, a winning combination of mimesis and the fantastical that privileges neither component: perhaps the very definition of that mode categorized as the 'New Weird' and exemplified most famously by the groundbreaking work of China Mieville.

When we toured... I was hungry to take out people like Jeff Beck in front of us; Fleetwood Mac, just before they hit; Heart, just before they hit.

It's a dream for me to work with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry as well as my old friend Jeff Marek, who I started my career with.

I decided early on that I wanted to be Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - not George Harrison.

People like Jeff Buckley, the Mars Volta and Bjork made me listen to music differently. You learn the voice is an instrument you can do crazy things with.

My agent, Jeff Andrews, suggested I write a book. For some reason. he doesn't like it when I'm not doing anything.

To me, Jeff Zucker is synonymous with winning. He's an incredible news executive.

When I got out of high school, I was in a blues band. It was the kind of music I was interested in, and listening to, mostly because it was becoming a vehicle for a generation of guitarists - like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Mike Bloomfield. And that's what I wanted to be, principally: a guitar player.

I'm interested in Jeff Bridges. I love that guy. And I did like Carey Mulligan in 'An Education.' And I love Meryl Streep, but if they could ban 'Julie & Julia,' I'd be in favor of that.

In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree. A woman happened to be passing, and she said that she rescued animals, so she invited me back to her house. It turned out she was the wife of Jeff Beck. Jeff was there, and we ended up jamming together.

I've always admired Jeff Bridges. I really like how one can never get a handle on what he's doing.

I was spoiled by some of the guys I had in the past, like Robby Thompson and Jeff Kent. I know the importance of that infield defense. There's more balls on the ground than in the air. Consequently, you have to play 'D' on the field.

One of the nice things about picking up Preston Wilson is if it were to be that Jeff is not going to be there, then we certainly have depth, and that's one of the plusses. We have pieces that can move, and we've been blessed in this organization over the past few years of having guys that are flexible and can play different positions. We have catchers that can play first base, so we're OK.

Only the most technologically savvy universities are able to compete in the field of drug discovery and bioinformatics. Georgia Tech's focus on top-of-the-line technology and research facilities and the attraction of Dr. Jeff Skolnick and other world-class scholars will raise its presence in this competitive market and attract some of the nation's brightest students to join our research team to advance medicines that will improve the well-being of people everywhere.

I would have griped about (being taken out) because we were playing so well. We wanted to win this game. I was really going to talk (coach Jeff Van Gundy) into leaving me out there, even though they wanted to keep my minutes down.

Nobody can buy Jeff Greene. Nobody ever has. Nobody ever will.

When I got there, only two guys were in the cavern. I kept my skis on, and I was sitting on the snow with Walter and Jeff Bridges, and we were trying to solve the problem of access and extraction. We didn't know if the fall had caused the injury.

Obviously, we were 4-12 for a reason last year. I think Jeff did what he thought needed to be done. A lot of the guys he called out aren't here anymore.

Obviously we had been keen to negotiate a two-year contract for Jeff but when Collingwood came in with a four-year deal our hand was forced somewhat. We never wanted to lose Jeff to another club, but we certainly did not want to risk losing him for nothing.

Of course Jeff and I wanted to see the lions feed and the girls were scared to death that would happen.

People will fall in love with Jeff Adrien. All he does is come to work, put the hard hat on, just keep getting balls off the glass. Hopefully, as we move up in caliber and size, he's still able to do that.

Obviously, we are disappointed that Jeff will miss the game at Providence, but the rule as stated in the rule book is very clear. Other players will have to step up and make up for his absence and I have complete confidence that will happen.

I got to know Jeff after he was under our mentorship,

I have had the privilege to work with Jeff and his team on a series of licensed products and I was honored to be asked to co-host this tournament with him.

Losing Jeff is going to be huge, ... Jeff is a tremendous leader for this defense. He was kind of the glue that helped pull us all together.

Mr. Hamilton will be a significant addition to our management team. Jeff will be a valued contributor to our future success.

She found writings that Jeff had written stating that if Hitler were a 60-watt bulb, then my mother is a 1,000-watt bulb.

So, for all of their complaining about how we did things, The Onion gets a big investor whose son saw our paper and liked it. And now they've got Jeff working for them. I think they owe us a thank you.

The only meaningful fighter and champion in the super middleweight division is Jeff Lacy, but if Joe wanted to come to the States then we would speak to Frank Warren.

We might have a slight advantage in that respect since we've both won recently but Jeff knows how to win. I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in today. I burned a lot of edges. I played solid and made very few mistakes with my swing. The good news is that I tried to aim at my foot and shoot it, but I missed it and still have a good chance to win.

When they told me, I don't know, I was blown away. I was fortunate to have a great team with Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon and all the Rainbow Warriors.

I was introduced to Jeff this morning. He's a good guy, and I enjoyed his company.

I was just a passenger tonight. The couple times I have ridden him, he does all the work. I just guide him. I'm so appreciative of Chris and Jeff flying me into Houston to ride him. I had a fortunate trip and was able to save ground.

I was laughing at myself. Every time I'd throw one 85 and Jeff Kent would pop it up, I was like, 'Oh my gosh,' ... There are other guys in the league who can do it, and it made me a believer in how you can get guys out doing it.

Halston is a fashion brand, and Jeff is a stylish guy.

I wouldn't say I was surprised. At these kind of games, Jeff always comes through ... he's a man-child out there. That's normal. That's what I see all the time.

There are so many versions of Batman that I love so much from different artists that I had to almost stop trying to draw those versions and get past that and just draw the Jeff Lemire version of Batman eventually.

I don't believe he'll start right now, but we have cleared the air extremely well. I like the way he trained (Friday), specifically. Right now, Jeff is ready to come in. I'm counting on him to play, don't know how many minutes. Nobody's guaranteed minutes in this franchise. Jeff is aware of that and, I think, is prepared to play and do whatever it takes to help this team.

I am real happy with a top-10. We were way off. I just can't say enough for the DuPont Chevrolet team. If it weren't for the effort of the team and never giving up, we would have been way way back. We got lucky that one time racing Jeff Burton so Mark Martin wasn't able to lap us. We stayed on the lead lap and fought for everything we could and got a top-10. I don't know how we didn't because we certainly didn't have the car to do it tonight.

I am really thrilled to have Rob, Jerry and Jeff as part of our staff. When you combine them with Coach McCallum and Coach Meyer, our staff is as good as any team in the country.

I can't say anything more about Jeff than what his performance says. He shined in every event he was in.

I did not even expect Jeff to start. He just came in and took the position. He closes fast on the ball. He's a solid run stopper.

I feel that I played an all-around good match today. I held my serve really well today. I was able to hit some excellent passing shots and that kept Jeff at the baseline, which helped swing the match in my favor.

Getting Jeff was a move we may have made anyway, ... It doesn't close the door on Semin or Sykora, but we're not going to just sit here and wait for them, either. We are going to cover our bases.

Getting to play for the home folks, there on Lake Martin, with guys like Jeff Cook, man it dont get any better than that for me,

I don't remember the last time I saw Jeff King drop a ball. He's a smart guy who is just solid in every area. He's a guy who you can trust to get things done right.

I don't think where a driver is from, to our fans, really matters. You're always going to have a favorite son, so to speak. But I think Jeff Gordon has fans in every state.

But we like Ryan Nece. Jeff Gooch and Ryan have had a real competitive battle this spring and summer, so Ryan will be the starter. He's earned that in Jeff's absence.

I feel very good having Jeff Victor as my successor. There was a lot of interest in this position, and Jeff clearly stood out as the best candidate for the job.

Barry Axelrod has told us Jeff will be there and we'll welcome him and give him every opportunity. We have a rehabilitation program, and that's what we'll start on (today) when he gets here.

I had Jeff Daniels wear my Dad's clothes. It wasn't because I wanted to recreate my Dad in any way, it's because by having those things there it warms me to the characters and the story, it puts me in it more, ... The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

He reminds me of Jeff Kent -- I saw him in A ball in the Florida State League. Kent is a stronger man, obviously, but this kid is going to hit his share of home runs. He has power, and he's going to be an excellent second baseman. He has more range than Kent.

He's a cross between Tom Seaver and Jeff Spicoli, ... Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

He was just impressed with the whole situation. He really respects Jeff and his staff. ... He had great chemistry. He likes the staff, he likes the players. He likes the city and he wants to bring his family down there.

He was a handful no matter whom it was (guarding him). I thought Jeff made him work a little bit harder. You have to give Vincent a lot of credit but you also have to give Jeff credit for wanting that (assignment).

We made some phone calls and e-mails back and forth. They hooked us up with Jeff Hendricks (an adaptive physical education teacher at Douglas) and we went from there.

If that wasn't Jeff Burton back there we probably would have had a wreck. His car was a little bit better for the first three or four laps (after a restart) and then we could get going.

If that were the case, wouldn't you think the younger one would be on the varsity? Look, Marcus is a great kid and a very hard worker with a huge upside. But Jeff he's one of the best high school basketball players I've ever seen.

He has asked me to apologize to apologize to his fans and friends. This bizarre incident is completely uncharacteristic of Jeff Reardon.

He was a monster on the glass. He was just big. The neat thing to see about Jeff is he has gotten to the point where I think he wants to try and get every rebound. And that's pretty rare for a high school kid.

There is a philosophy for every fight and a way to beat everybody. We collectively study the tapes. I don't do it myself. We put all that together and came up with a game plan. We're totally confident. Jeff is too strong. He's too fast. His determination and tenacious style are going to overwhelm this guy.

When they had the loss in the family, Paul called me and said Jeff would really love to play in Toronto and they would appreciate anything I could do to make it happen.

He's definitely made his mark. I think for Jeff the best is yet to come. I think he is going to blossom in college.

He's a Jeff Gordon, a Tony Stewart, an exception to the rule, ... What he lacks in experience, he makes up for in focus. He's that one in a million. I hope he snaps out of it pretty soon.

He's a little smart-aleck colored boy, Teddy says he's a pro. Teddy tells Maurice to get us a gasoline truck so we can fill up our cars. Maurice comes back with a highway hauler, Texaco written across the tank. The time I met him Maurice had swiped more different kinds of vehicles than any car booster doing time at Jeff City. But you're right, what's the rush?

He said it bothered him a little bit in San Francisco and then he felt it in his next start. (Trainer Jeff Cooper) thinks he?ll be fine to pitch again this season, but we aren?t sure when.

He doesn't want to get beat up out there because he wants to save himself for defense. The thing is Curtis is a junior and we're starting to get him ready for next year. He does a good job, but he doesn't have the experience Jeff has. Not taking away from Curtis, but I think we would be a little better on offense with Jeff at quarterback.

He has talked to the 0 and he's probably going to go to the 0, ... I applaud that. I told him that when you're our age, the way everybody's looking for 19 year olds, if a car opens up, jump in it. Jeff said he didn't want to leave us high and dry, but I told him to protect himself.

He has so much swelling, we can't really determine how long it will be. We should know more in the next few days. We're concerned about Jeff Gooch. We hope it doesn't take too long.

He needed that win. It is always nice to swing one at the end with a pin. Adam just needed that win since he lost 3-2 to the guy from Jeff Davis earlier.

He'll hit this year and then he'll be back next year going for 500 (home runs). This isn't the last of Jeff Bagwell.

We took some real risks when we allowed Jeff to participate in the World Series. And our attorneys advised us there were risks. We felt we were well within the contract to allow him to do so. We felt we owed him the right and our fans the right to see him in the World Series if we got there.

My responsibility is to all of the people who have invested money and time into this team. Jeff is a phenomenal talent and there's so much support here at Hendrick that I don't feel it's only on my shoulders. I think in the last 10 races of 2005 we showed glimmers of where we need to be. If we didn't set a goal to win a championship I'd be disappointed.

I was with the Petty family for 11 years before being blessed to work with Jeff and the No.24 team, ... Kyle and Richard are giving me an incredible opportunity to come home.

Like, what do you say? Do you say 'Hey man!' Or would you say 'Hey peng?' Like, to be with Jeff Bridges, first of all, is a trip. Sitting with Jeff Bridges talking about how to be a penguin, it's like insane.

Mark struggled and that's pretty much what happened with Jeff Maggert,

Mark struggled and that's pretty much what happened with Jeff Maggert, ... He pretty much struggled all the way, especially on the back nine this morning, and that's really where I got ahead.

Some of the younger guys like (freshmen) Mike Campbell and Jeff Gabriel really stepped up today and filled in nicely. I don't mind so much that we take penalties because we have good penalty killers.

I sat down with Joey this summer, and I came under the impression, talent aside, here's a young man confused, frustrated, insecure, needs to grow up, and someone who doesn't particularly like some of the people he played for. Didn't appreciate Jeff Garcia. He wanted the compliment that this is his job, and he hasn't been able to handle that. I think he needs to move on.

I said six years ago when I took this job that with Jeff Gordon driving, I was going to carry a pocket mirror around. When we're not running good, I need to look in the mirror.

Spring-Ford came out very well-prepared. Jeff and Mickey (McDaniel) did a great job preparing them. They played very hard. They just out-played us in every aspect of the game.

Playing coverage isn't about speed. It's about technique and studying film. Jeff Ulbrich understands that. He's the ears and eyes of the defense.

Our No. 4 through 6 really stepped it up. Especially Jeff Snyder.

such established Clinton-haters as Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire have prominently co-authored legislation with Mrs. Clinton.

I think that everybody in the garage area has a lot of respect for Jeff and I think that's because of what he's accomplished and the way he's gone about it that NASCAR has that same respect for him.

Just another complete performance by Jeff Weaver. He's the workhorse of this staff.
