Stayed Quotations | Page 12

I'm proud of the effort they made. They stayed focused and came back.

I'm proud of the team for coming out and competing. I felt like through the first quarter we stayed right with them.

I'm extremely proud of our kids. They never lost their composure, even after we turned the ball over a little bit in the second half. They stayed with it and kept their focus. This is a tremendous feat.

I kind of went in there bigheaded, ... I haven't fought anyone with that (style) since I was maybe 15. I should have stayed in the middle of the ring and just let him come to me.

I'm real happy with our composure. We stayed in the game. I didn't like that we didn't put the game away, but I give them credit. They didn't lay down and die.

I'm not going to say he stayed down to draw the penalty. I didn't really see the play. He did come back so he wasn't seriously injured, fortunately.

I'm grateful because I think he's a great coach and the Lions may have missed out on an opportunity to get a great coach. Selfishly, I'm glad he stayed in Pittsburgh, because I want to stay in Pittsburgh, if at all possible.

The best part of having a sorority living here was that it stayed clean.

The behavior of the students impressed the administration. They stayed in their seats and kept the aisles clear.

Steve used to walk through the room I stayed in to get to the bathroom. One day, he must have been 5 years old, Steve said to me, 'Are you Mr. Paul?' I said yes. He was looking at my guitar and I asked him, 'Do you play guitar?' And he said, 'A little bit.' So I handed him my guitar and he played it and I said, 'Gee, you're good. Someday you'll be doing what I'm doing.' I was his mentor . . . but then I watched him take everything he admired and copied and learned and become Steve Miller. He's a very, very good blues guitarist.

Steve was good brother. I play in a rock 'n' roll band and he stayed with Michael while we were out Saturday. It's just hard to believe.

Still, given time I think he'd have turned things around here. It's just a pity he never stayed a bit longer.

The average investor may have exited the market post 9/11, but these households simply stayed the course, letting their investments regain value over time. This strategy is starting to pay off. Some investment losses were offset by gains in real estate, but for the most part, ownership of stocks and bonds remained fairly stable.

The band has always stayed close to its fans and not sold out. That's a very rare thing. I can see how rare that is having been outside of the band for eight years. Maiden has integrity. I think people appreciate that.

The best thing about that is I didn't see anyone take a deep breath. Instead the kids just stayed focused.

The biggest increase we saw was in our destination visitors. Destination visitors stayed longer, spent more money.

That fourth quarter was like a game within a game. Jackson was working hard, and knocking down shots, and I felt our kids were working hard too. I was really proud of the way we maintained our composure. We stayed on the attack, on both ends. That made the difference for us. Our guards did a good job of controlling the ball, and getting everyone involved in the game. We finished the night with just nine turnovers, that stat alone is significant in our success. I'd be happy with that just about any night.

The biggest change that people have learned is that the old Winston-Salem stayed the same and didn't change. We're learning you have to adjust fairly quickly to changes, just like you would in a business.

The best thing we did was ball movement. They stayed in their gaps and did a good job of understanding how to attack the zones.

The big thing with Marcus is his discipline. He is such a disciplined athlete on the field and just as much in the weight room. He is disciplined with his diet, too. He altered it and stayed committed to it. When you look at the evolution of it, it took a year and a half for him to get down to where he is now. He came into camp his freshman year at 348. Now, he always stays at a steady 290-295. To keep at that weight, that is hard to do for a big guy.

Everybody loves Gregg. He definitely puts us in position to make plays, (so) we're glad he stayed here with us.

Everybody made plays today and it just so happened ours came at the right time. We just stayed positive and did our jobs.

The boards in the second half were the difference. They are stronger inside than we are. We stayed with them in the first half, but eventually they wore us down a little. I thought it was a good game, I'm very pleased with our players. I thought they stepped up to the challenge against the No. 1 team.

Everybody's situation is different. If Tim Duncan stayed in school another four years it didn't matter what Tim Duncan did his senior season. I think there are some guys that are NBA guys... I think Ronnie is definitely a guy who could play in the NBA. It doesn't matter if he stays or whether he goes.

Acid was kind of a thing that was done on the day off. We took one trip, got in four or five cars and headed out to the lake, this Indian Burial Ground, we made some films, super 8, you can see us running around in the dark, stayed out all night, no sleeping bags, that didn't seem strange, just lay down on the ground to sleep, on acid.

It was 11-0, then I looked at the scoreboard and then it was (11-10), and that's us this year. But we stayed patient, having 10 seniors helped that. They know what it takes to win.

Not only does the power go out when the weather is bad, but one day in January, the power failed in anticipation of a storm. A storm was predicted for Jan. 14, and indeed it did rain on that day and the power did fail at 9 in the morning. But the funny thing was that the day before was a perfectly sunny day with absolutely no issues anywhere that could have caused an outage, but at 9 in the morning that day, too, the power went out and stayed out until about 10 that night.

Once he stepped on campus he stuck to his word. From the beginning he said this is how it's going to be and this is what he wanted us to do. Every day in practice he stayed consistent and that consistency is something that goes on to the players. He made my senior year unbelievable. I think I owe him a lot in that sense.

Once I got to the UA and had the resources to receive coaching every day and train with other teammates, I was able to progress very quickly into an internationally competitive level. I stayed on track and have now eventually ended up where I am today, and to know that I made it here through hard work and a great deal of support makes my wins that much more meaningful.

On being asked where she stayed in France: 'Florence.'

I want to say we were there a good 5 or 6 hours, ... The water just stayed there. Normally, like with (Hurricane) Camille, it came in quick and went out quick. This just kept rising and then it stayed there.

Not a lot went right for us, as everyone who stayed around to witness that game saw.

Not being able to play in the Champions League is a shame but I probably wouldn't have played much had I stayed at Madrid.

No matter what the error was or the problem was, it didn't phase us. We continued to roll and play our game. It didn't matter. We just stayed focused and played.

This is L.A., and people usually leave early, but everybody was still there. I can't believe they stayed all the way to the end like that, with the traffic in L.A. It was the first time I've seen that, and it was very overwhelming.

Dana had much more control of his faculties. He stayed within himself and pitched very well.

Dan Fitzgerald had a great game and was responsible for the spread and the spread stayed the same from the first to second half.

David (Braun) and I stayed for five days. Everyone else came back home.

Desi never missed a practice or a game. And when players were held over in practice for extra drills, Desi stayed and did the drills with them.

Despite all kinds of centrifugal forces, the Internet's technology has stayed reasonably unified and coherent during the tremendous growth of the last 20 years, the enormous changes in underlying transmission technology and the era of telecommunications liberalization.

Then our 32nd anniversary was in February, so we stayed open through that.

You think I would have stayed in the dugout if I saw it come out?

The night started out bad and kind of stayed that way. We were hurrying our shots and then not playing well on the defensive end. We did cut it to two points a couple of times in the second half, but we never got the lead.

Considering everything we are going through right now, we needed this game. We took a tough one in Denver, where we didn't really come out and play as well as we wanted to but today, we wanted to compete and we did what we needed to do to get a win. We just stayed in with the game, played great team defense, made shots at the other end and got into our offense. We were able to get the shots we wanted.

Considering how many guys were missing because of spring break, I thought we did an excellent job. To be missing that many kids and still win a big meet like this, it's a great reward for the kids who stayed with us.

Consumers have been given an economic boost with no astronomical heating bills to pay. We know this fact has been the main reason energy prices have stayed somewhat grounded and have fallen short of bullish expectations.

It's pretty much business as usual. Most of our clients have been quite loyal to us. I've had a few clients take some money out, but the majority have stayed with us.

It surprised me that it stayed the same today. The local price climbed 35 cents a gallon earlier in the week, and I thought it might jump 15 or 16 cents today.

It's unbelievable, man. It's an unbelievable feeling. From all the critics to everybody turning their backs on us, we just came through and turned our whole season around in four days. We've stayed with it and stayed true to this family.

It's great because we battled and stayed in there. This is a tough park to pitch in.

It's been pretty cold. That's the thing people notice. It's not simply the precipitation. Spring has stayed away. You notice it more in the daytime than at night.

It's pretty unique to have been in the business for 50 years, and to be able to have stayed in the back of the house (kitchen) for that length of time is pretty extraordinary.

Around the league, it's been tough for certain teams, ... You see the high scores. We've just stayed focused.

At the end of the first lunch, there was a group of about - I don't know how many it began as - but it escalated to about 100 students who stayed beyond the period when the lunch was to end. They started chanting 'Mexico, Mexico' and waving flags. The problem began when they exited that area and began co-mingling and being jostled by other students and some fights broke out.

The cost of doing business has continued to increase. Yet the ability to generate additional revenue or greater revenues than what we have has really stayed stagnant.

The cost of producing movies has stayed in check the last couple of years. Marketing costs have gone up, but it's still a benefit because it feeds a nomination for a studio that's part of a larger conglomerate such as a cable network.

The cooperation in the fullest possible accounting is excellent and we need to give the Vietnamese credit for having stayed the course on that,

Their tradition and record at the Fairgrounds speaks for itself. A lot of people stayed away from that bracket for that simple fact.

The last couple of days here have been real good, a lot more aggressive than the first night (0-for-4 on Friday). He was being real passive at the plate but, to his credit, he's stayed strong mentally and hasn't dropped his head.

(The Lady Sailors) stayed intense all night and our communication was great. We had a lot of kids going for the ball. The effort was awesome.

The kids have stayed together and haven't given up, even though we're playing a lot of young kids.

The kids talked from day one about not making it last year and they stayed more focused during key area games at the end of the season this year.

I told Ben that I wished he had stayed in there. He's going to try to make those shots. We've got his back either way.

It's been unbelievable how Jay has handled this summer. There were not a whole lot of people outside the organization that thought he could get it all done. But he stayed steady and got done what he needed to do.

It's best of both worlds. It's a concept that has stayed relevant, yet it has retained the heritage of that friendly, personalized service in a fast, efficient quality manner. The most important thing is the food is fresh. A lot of people got away from that over the years. That's something that Sonic was never willing to compromise.

It's very important to be there, ... He's been a friend of mine 15 years, and it goes beyond baseball. We stayed friends beyond baseball. He was a great man, and we owe it to him to be there.

It seemed like it stayed on 33 (points) forever. The only thing that helped us was that they didn't score either.

It took me a long time to recover, so my close friends and my family stayed with me. I was in a place in my life were I was really ready to reach out.

It took me six or seven years to really get some meaty parts. I stayed busy, acting, doing stunts and being a stand-in for child actors -- when the little kids go to school during rehearsals, someone has to stand in for them and do their parts.

It was just a really good match-up. He had a big serve and then basically he stayed at the baseline. For me, if I could get the serve back, that's a dream come true. I was just able to wear him down and eventually, he just got frustrated and gave me points.

It was just a really good team effort. We moved the ball well. We stayed really organized in the back despite the fact that they didn't pressure us.

It worked out nice last year because I stayed over there, then we played the Heineken Classic (in Melbourne), then I came back and played the end of the West Coast Swing.

They are just, physically, a bunch of really strong guys. They just out-muscled us, especially down the stretch. They're consistent you know what they're going to give you, they kept hanging around, and when our offense started sputtering, they stayed consistent.

They came out tonight like a house on fire but fortunately for us we stayed calm and composed.

They came over for one glass of wine and stayed until midnight. They drank all my wine, smoked all my cigars and ate all my food. We were all supposed to go out to eat, but I'm still waiting to go. They brought their kids over and made my wife watch them.

I guess people stayed away because there was rain in the forecast.

I guess it was just one of those games. Thank goodness Justin stayed focused. He could have easily gotten frustrated with those errors, but he didn't. He pitched a great game.

I had done a directing producing job before on 'Big Day' and 'Jake in Progress,' and those are two shows where I directed the pilot and stayed with it in series.

In qualifying, we all went out together and stayed together, in a huge, four-car draft. It turned out that Brandon Davis got the best run and earned the first pole position by a rookie driver in many seasons,

In terms of the broader issue between DOJ and Microsoft, we have deliberately stayed out of that. That is not, at its core, a Dell issue. We are watching it with interest like many others, but we will not comment on that specific dispute. We'll wait at the outcome and se what tools are available and what customers want and take the appropriate.

I know many beautiful songs from your home county, Carbon, and Monroe, and I hitchhiked through there and stayed in the homes of miners.

I know if I'd played somewhere else, I would've scored many more points, ... but George was such a dominant player, you just had to take advantage of a force like that. And he played his heart out. In my lifetime I've seen only two centers who could just take charge of a game, who could put so much fear in other players that they stayed away from the middle. One was Bill Russell. The other, and he was even more dominant, was George Mikan.

I think our kids stayed focused and played hard.

It helps to have the huge crowd behind you and to represent your conference. We had more fans than we expected, and it was like a mini-Pit out there. They stayed loud the whole game and inspired us to keep going.

I ran pretty close to what I did Saturday at Granite City. Jeff (Schirmer) stayed with me a lot of this race. I have to give him his props for doing that.

I just essentially stayed at home for three years and just learned to play as many instruments as I could and listened to as many singers as I could. Like, when I got to about 19/20, I started listening to singers. I normally just listened to bands. Now I listen to a lot of old singers, not a lot of new stuff.

I had good stuff from the bullpen going into the game. The ball stayed up for Stairs, and from there it was a battle to keep the team in the game the rest of the way. You hate to put your team in a deficit right away. Manny got us back in the game, and it was my job to keep us there.

I just didn't press. Every time I got out, Coach Horton stayed positive with me. I came up that last at-bat and said I want to be the man.

I just didn't start off very well and it was a long day. All day I was grinding, but I stayed as patient as possible and I have three more days to get back into it. I will go home, relax and put this day behind me.

I just made sure everybody stayed up, ... We played awesome together.

I just stayed in a better stance. He hit four low singles (Wednesday) and I couldn't get away from him.

(I) just stayed patient. I missed a couple of putts early in the round, but finally got it going on the back nine. I made some nice putts on the back nine for birdies as well as par. It turned out to be a really nice day.

He wrestled really intelligently today. His last match was a real tough match but he focused and stayed in control.

I look at that and wish maybe we played the strategy that (Dale Jarrett) did where he sat at the back and stayed out of trouble and then came through and was even able to win the race, ... We considered a lot of things at Talladega and we felt like the best thing for our team was to race for the win and to be up front and stay out of trouble that way and it didn't really play out.

I hit that one good. He threw me a good split to start me off with. The encouraging side is I stayed back and went more off-speed conscious, and just kind of reacted to the fast ball. It's a good sign for me.

I hit the ball in the fairway a bunch and that certainly helped. I'm feeling confident with the putter. Zach didn't put a whole lot of pressure on me, but he did play solid. I stayed just ahead of him.

I hit the ball very well. I drove the ball well. I had a lot of opportunities for birdie. I just stayed patient and tried to keep hitting good shots.

I honestly think if he had stayed healthy we would have made it to the playoffs last year because we became very one dimensional,

In the past, I stayed with friends, a couple of bad friends. The (Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority) said they would contact me when something became available.

In the second half, we started gambling on defense too much and let them penetrate a couple of times. That's when they're good is when they could drive. Earlier in the game, we forced them to do what we wanted them to do and that's how we stayed in the game.
