Jimmy Quotations | Page 3

While in prison, we had an excellent pianist named Jimmy Bunn, who also recorded with Bird. Jimmy would play a small accordion, and he, Art and I would play all day, nothing but ballads.

Dean feels that there are few things that could be more appropriate the day before the Iowa caucus than attend Sunday school and church with Jimmy Carter. Carter has been very, very friendly to us. He really likes the governor. But the direct words out of his mouth have been that he's not going to endorse anyone in the '04 race. We're still talking to him, but we've pretty much accepted that he's not going to do it.

Colin comes in to solve a goalkeeping problem as Neil Bennett has decided to go back south. My assistant, Jimmy Bone, knows Colin well from his time working with him at County last season. I have admired Mark for some time. He is a good player and has pace.

As parents, you expect your children to outlive you and when that doesn't happen, you become an empty shell. Jimmy was a beautiful boy and his time on this earth was all too brief. It kind of puts losing my World Cup winner's medal to Geoff into perspective, doesn't it? But you don't go through life without having some really bad times, and I've had some great times, too.

That's what they said about Bill Clinton, ... That's what they said about Jimmy Carter. That's what they said about George Bush. Now, George Bush, maybe it was true.

Teddy Roosevelt . . . once said, 'Speak softly and carry a big stick.' Jimmy Carter wants to speak loudly and carry a fly swatter.

President Ford was taken for a ride by his predecessor, whom he unpardonably pardoned; Jimmy Carter was also taken for a ride, but by his successor, Ronald Reagan, over the return of the Iran hostages.

England had a look at Jimmy in the nets and that's why they called him up,

I've always felt badly that Jimmy wasn't treated with the kind of respect that I thought he deserved, ... Having known him and known how committed and determined he was as an artist and how tortured he was as a human being, and knowing the agonies of his childhood, I felt that this was a good chance to make an honorable psychological portrait of him.

The whole community is in shock. Robert and Jimmy are very important members of this community, as are their families, and I think nobody in the community can imagine that they could have been involved in this crime.

The well-deserved attention that Scott has enjoyed in the 1990s and 2000s has come not only from the jazz community, but from pop fans as well. I have met numerous rock and R&B musicians who aren't heavily into jazz but absolutely adore Jimmy Scott.

I only hired him with Jimmy's blessing. Jimmy evidently has some hard feelings that he can't let go, it's unfortunate and we're moving on.

If somebody else tried to do what Jimmy does, they'd leave here in a straightjacket. He's different. What works for him probably wouldn't work for somebody else. He's so gifted, and that's probably made what he's going through worse.

I'm confident when I wrestle guys a second or third time. I get better when that happens because I know what they're strong at. I knew Jimmy was real good on his feet, so I was more prepared for that.

I'm a big Steve Nash fan, have been since he's been in the league. I wanted to play with AmarŽ (Stoudemire) and Jimmy (Jackson, a Miami teammate). It was the fit and the opportunity to be alongside Kurt Thomas and AmarŽ. They made a great run, especially during the regular season. It definitely helped to have a great chance of getting out of the West and making a championship run.

If Jimmy is going to pay everyone back this weekend, he's going to be a very busy boy.

I knew Jimmy Dean. He tested for Battle Cry. Paul Newman tested for Battle Cry. I did nine tests to finally get that role.

I'm just taking advantage of what they're giving me. I don't try to do too much. I just try to get on base. Scott and Jimmy (Edmonds) are swinging the bat pretty well right now. I try to get on base so I can score as much as I can.

I'm just thrilled people are checking out POWER GIRL. She's one of the greatest heroines in the DCU alongside Wonder Woman, Oracle, Supergirl and Black Canary. The book has been a lot of fun and working with Amanda and Jimmy has been the highlight. Thanks to everyone reading the book!

I'm looking forward to Wednesday. It's fun to be a part of this. Jimmy continues to give us a big lift all the time, whether we're up or down.

I love Jimi Hendrix obviously, and Jimmy Page and Prince. And also Elvis Presley is a really great guitar player. I don't think he ever took lessons; he was piecing it together himself. But he has great rhythm. And rhythm, to me, you can use it to your advantage if you're not all over the fretboard.

In the last 100 years only Presidents George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford lost their bids for reelection. President Lyndon Johnson did not run for a second term.

If you look at the current issue, they have an article by Norman Mailer and Jimmy Breslin. I'm not sure my children, who are in their 20's, would have the faintest idea of who any of those people are.

Oh my God, I think I purchased some Jimmy Choos, and they hurt like crazy. That's when I realized that fashion truly isn't about comfort; it's about looking good.

I've had Jimmy for the last five years hitting behind me, and I know he's going to click on and drive me in, so there's no need for me to put pressure on myself or chase a ball out of the strike zone. Believe me he's getting hot, so watch out.

SMU was his school. Jimmy is my guy and when that job came open I wanted to do everything I could to help him get that job.

I'm not so sure Long Beach will be his finale at all. I think there's every chance he could drive a third car at some more rounds, such as maybe San Jose and Road America. He's still got the fire burning; Jimmy could end up making more comebacks than Cher.

The center was awarded money early in the year, but construction costs have gone up. Even after they cut some of the cost, they were still short. We thank the Speaker Seth Hammett and Senator Jimmy Holley for making the funds available. The center got its Christmas wish.

I include Jimmy Caan with those other actors out of respect, not because of his process, but because I think he's an amazing actor.

As soon as (Cliff) stepped onstage, the rain stopped, the clouds parted, the moon came out. Jimmy Cliff did two hours and completely burns out the crowd. Fela comes out and the rain pours again,

The biggest honor is proving Andy Warhol wrong; that we can get more than 15 minutes of fame. I am very grateful to Superman and Jimmy Olsen for my 50 years of being remembered.

It's huge. We need Jimmy in the lineup every day to come out there and compete every day and be a big part of that offense, never mind his defensive play. It was nice to see him back in there and doing what he did today. Hopefully we can get him on track and he can start feeling better.

The venue deserves a late-night slot, and for that we've gone for Jimmy and a burlesque show and an almost-anything-goes comedy show with Jonathan Atherton.

I really didn't know Jimmy when he applied for the job. I knew he was a worker, a good recruiter and a good people person just from watching him recruit over the summer. The head coaches know who all the workers are.

I know a lot of people see Jimmy Williams against our receivers as a mismatch. But we see it as, if you want to go one-on-one with our guys, well, we're going to try to go after that.

It has been the Jimmy Johnstone week at Celtic Park.

Clint can run right by you and Jimmy can do a lot of things.

I ran out of gas when I got into the garage area, and Jimmy Spencer ran into the back of my car. I was still in the car when he approached me with obvious anger. Words were exchanged, but I was still strapped in my seat with my helmet off when he struck me in the face. He broke my tooth and bloodied my nose.

I haven't seen Johnson enough in the past to know, but he's a guy who's fought all these years, 16 years, finally gets a title, he's fighting for his biggest payday, he's still fighting back in occasional flurries, just as Jimmy Garcia did when he fought Gabe Ruelas. So he was still fighting back, Every time he went back to the corner he seemed to be going slower and slower. In fact I did mention after the eighth, ninth round that he sorta wobbled onto his stool. So the signs were there and it's in the hands of the referee.

Hinson just doubled up on top of him, and I looked up and the stands were clearing. Everything was happening. I dove between them to get them apart, and I looked up and (another official) Jimmy Hudson had the coaches at center court. We met out at center court and the coaches agreed with us that there wasn't any way we were going to complete the game.

He's terrific. He's an NBA player. I can't believe the improvement he's made. Jimmy has done a great job in developing him.

By '65, I worked myself into hearing a little better and I was up to Jimmy Raney. I had a pretty good ear for it but I've never been able to play it.

Before the Charles fight, he fought Jimmy Beau in a main event at Madison Square Garden. He won a 10-round decision, but Beau damaged his left eye. He fought Charles with one eye.

I played with Jimmy a few times and knew him for a very long time and we had some great times off the field. He was a bundle of dynamite both on and off the field.

I played with Sam Lay, Jimmy Reed, Big Walter Horton, Big Moose Walker, and all those guys.

I didn't know who Jimmy Choo was. I think Vanessa Williams was also a very big part of that, teaching me about the designers. I had no choice but to learn, and I'm glad I did.

He's right there on the doorstep and I think he's had a long conversation with Jimmy (Corsi) about that. The way he fills the net is very Miller and Biron-like. We point to the level of compete that Ryan Miller has, where he never gives up on a shot, and that's where Michael Leighton has to go.

Gavin has had a scan and it looks like he will be out for three to four weeks. We will be missing Jimmy Juan for two to three weeks as well. He had to stop training on Friday with a sore groin.

Things change from one coach to another and from one system to another and we had a lot of success (14-2) on the field, ... Sometimes when you have the whole team succeeding, everything clicks and things go well. In 2000, Mark Brunell had a lot of confidence in me as a receiver and he just started looking my way. Jimmy Smith went down in a couple of games and he (Brunell) just started spraying it to me. I think those couple of games kind of changed the perception that I could do a little more to help the team than just being a blocking tight end. It was very satisfying to me and nice to have that type of opportunity because my goal at all levels was to be a good all-around player.

They'll let Jimmy control the clubhouse, and he'll get the backing from the front office because of his good relationship with Dombrowski from their time together with the Marlins.

It was like bulls banging heads. He brought out the best and the worst in me and I like to think I did the same with him. Jimmy is one of the greatest players that ever lived, in my opinion. He's like the Pete Rose of tennis. I never seen a guy try as hard as this person on a tennis court. That's something I really respected.

I remember so vividly playing a scene with Jimmy Stewart. I was in the back of a covered wagon, and we were doing this little talk in the wilderness. They did his close-up first. I was looking at him and thinking, 'How does he do that?' He is not 'doing' anything, and yet everything is there.

In my mind and the committee's mind, Jimmy Tubbs became the standard that I judged all the other people against.

After college, I went to London to record with Jimmy Webb on a project,

Another sister of mine, Kathie, and Jimmy Acosta, and their three children, are en route, having to go out through Texas, and then head north. They're on their way to Tennessee where they all plan to take up residence, and enroll their children Christopher, 17, and Tyler, 11 in our schools here.

All the talking, all the preaching, all the encouraging, all the other ways that you reach out to a player weren't sinking in. So, we're going to go this route. We're going to start Jimmy Martin. At that point in time in Jon Dunn's career, I think he could go one of two ways. He could've said, 'OK, it's not working out for me. I'll become a second-team practice player.' From that point on, it may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

The crowd seem to carry Jimmy along on a wave. It's a totally different atmosphere to playing anyone anywhere.

The funniest guy I've ever worked with - it's just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh - is Jimmy Byrnes from 'Wiseguy.' Jimmy - we can't be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.

The idea was that you had this kind of slow take-off pattern, that you could be the unknown, the Jimmy Carter, the Jimmy who in 1976 showed up in Iowa, carrying your own suitcases and do well there, and get a little money and go on to New Hampshire and do well there and get a little more money and you kind of go up the stairs.

The character of Elliot is one of a polite, chivalrous, modern Jimmy Stuart who you do not see much of in films today,

The entire contact was consensual. Jimmy did not commit any crimes, and there was no sexual contact.

The first Big East meeting I went to there was P.J. Carlesimo (Seton Hall), John Thompson (Georgetown), Louie Carnesecca (St. John's), Rick Pitino (Providence), Jim Boeheim, Jimmy O'Brien (Boston College) and Rollie Massimino (Villanova). That's what we faced when we came to the Big East. That coaching array alone I think made the Big East very special.

The Champions Tour would like to thank Jimmy Lee III and everyone associated with Buffalo Rock Corporation for their outstanding support of this event over the years. Jimmy laid the groundwork for the very bright future of professional golf in northwest Florida.

The combination of additional law enforcement, increased education and a boating public that has become more aware have made this a pretty safe area, ... We have had a few minor boating accidents, including one after the Jimmy Buffett concert (at Riverbend Music Center Aug. 21), but nothing serious.

You could say there was a surfeit of rich comedy that year. The winner was Daniel Kitson and - just to illustrate how strong it was - Jimmy Carr came second. Any other year the runners-up would have been winners.

You know, Jimmy Martin's a good kid. He was an all-American back at nationals this last summer, and Josh Townsend's just a couple little adjustments away from winning that match And Miller's in there too.

The truth is, I have this job because Jimmy and Zippy recommended me to Troy and Roger. Growing up in Texas, Troy and Roger are icons to me. I met Roger in an autograph line when I was 9 years old. Now he's my boss.

It starts with this group: with McCoy and Elvin and Jimmy Garrison.

I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.

I toured in Europe first, before I did ANY touring in the US. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.

It's a parable, it's a fable. It's almost like an intellectual Twilight Zone , ... In a way it's like a Hitchcock picture and Tim Roth is the Jimmy Stewart, the guy who gets caught up in something fascinating and big.

It's a Herculean feat. The thing about Jimmy is, as most classic television commentators, he is a producer first.

As my playing progressed I started playing Santana and Jimmy Hendrix.

Eckstein got a big hit, Jimmy got a big walk and they pay Albert the money they pay him to do what he did.

Everybody always asks about Jimmy Fallon. I'm sorry to say that he's very nice and there's not much bad to say about him. I don't know if he sucks at videogames or not. I don't think he plays them, but he could have this whole secret life I don't know about.

that in the early 1990s prompted moderates to leave in droves. In 2000, former US President Jimmy Carter left, despite being a three-generation Southern Baptist, complaining that the convention had adopted policies that ''violate the basic premises of my Christian faith.

There was some attrition at the top in the heptathlon, but that is the nature of the multi-events. By hanging in there and plugging away and doing real close to his personal bests he got us points. The thing about Jimmy is that he is not going to be perfect, but he is always going to be gritty. He will never back away and he will come at you and will give it a go. He doesn't have to apologize when it is over.

They had the bases loaded an no outs there in the fifth. We brought Jimmy in there and he did a real good job of getting out of that inning.

There's certainly jazz there, but you've got Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett and everything else there.

It's just nice to kind of stop the bleeding in that area and finally put a zero up there. They didn't get a lot of second and third chances. We had a chance to clear the puck out from in front of the net, and Jimmy made some nice saves. Hopefully, we can play a little better on the penalty kill, because specialty teams now are huge in the success of teams.

It's a 32-minute game. The kids are starting to realize its been nip and tuck for us in the first half of a lot of our games lately. Then Jimmy caught fire and scored almost half of our points.

I told our guys I wanted them to do two things: play hard and be tough. We've had a tendency to let people get after us on the road but tonight we answered. As a coaching staff, we challenged Jimmy to play hard and he responded. I thought Austin Ainge also came in and got us going after we got off to a rough start. In order for us to be successful, we need Jimmy and others to be consistent like he was tonight.

It will be a nice way for them to always remember Jimmy they can take it as he is looking down on them, blessing them. This is going to change their lives.

It was an easy decision to make. The show continues to grow creatively, and Jimmy is at the top of his game right now, delivering a hilarious show night after night.

T.J. was crazy for the blues. We were in a band together back in the eighth grade, and T.J. would listen to Jimmy Reed almost nonstop. He got his drum style from that old country blues and then later applied it to Western swing.

We will be approaching it as how we approached the other games. A team with a Jimmy Adams and a Roland Holder should be a good team.

We gave Jimmy the option of driving not only to help mentor our two new drivers but because of his wonderful history in racing and the fact we believe he remains very competitive. I still contend it is likely Jimmy could make more comebacks than the Rolling Stones.

It's funny, New England is the birthplace of basketball, but we are somewhat underrepresented in the Hall of Fame, ... I would like to see Jimmy Walker in there. Holy Cross. They were the epitome. Later on, with Dave Gavitt and the Providence teams.

There is the odds factor. Maybe Jimmy the Greek could tell you that. If I play South Brunswick 10 times, I might lose five.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to be here today, ... I'm also involved with Special Olympics and the Jimmy Fund, which is the Red Sox charity.

If I get there, I'll think about Lionel Taylor and Sherman Lewis and Jimmy Raye , coaches who could have gotten to the Super Bowl if they had had an opportunity. I hope I get there because it will be a tribute to those guys.

I do have a feeling about bands that cannot get it on, ... When I was a kid, I had guitar heroes: Jimmy Page, Michael Schenker, Angus Young. Hot players. You can't name one guitar player in any of the new bands that is a virtuoso.

He came around to the neighborhood before his fight with Jimmy Ellis (in 1971),

When you're a kid, Kermit is Tom Hanks. He's Tom Hanks for kids or Jimmy Stewart for kids. He's truly the every man.

Jimmy Fallon is one of the funniest son of a guns I've ever seen.

Is that the truth, Jimmy?" I ask without looking at him. "It's the truth and it come to ya!" I smile.

Your friend is intellectually honourable," Jimmy's mother would say. "He doesn't lie to himself.

...and nostalgia swept through Jimmy like a sudden hunger.

Jimmy Foxx could hit me at midnight with the lights out.

Oh, Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?
