Tonight Quotations

A boy is holding a girl so very tight in his arms tonight.

The wind at Candlestick tonight is blowing with great propensity.

To God be humble, to thy friend be kind, and with thy neighbors gladly lend and borrow; His chance tonight, it maybe thine tomorrow.

Well, if you find a note tonight that sounds good, play the same damn note every night!

My message tonight is a simple one - the journey is getting exciting and this great state is on the move.

It will be about which candidate, which of the two candidates remaining, is best suited to make a positive difference in the lives of North Carolina families, and I submit to each of you tonight that I am that candidate and Elizabeth Dole is not.

Tonight I should like to thank all those who have shared my work and to acknowledge the debt that I owe to my wife whose encouragement to put research before all other things has been a great strength to me.

I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.

The Pilgrim and the Puritan whom we honor tonight were men who did a great deal of work in the world. They had their faults and their - shortcomings, but they were not slothful in business and they were most fervent in spirit.

If the IAAF feel that is the right way to go for TV rights and everything, the rule will stay. As much as I want to be on the podium, tonight is a sad night for athletics.

I find I clash sometimes with people who like to plan things and book you in for lunch. I'd rather someone call me up, say: 'Are you free tonight and d'you wanna go to the roller-disco? Or play pool?'

I did the 'Tonight Show' once, and I choked up. I get intimidated.

Internet radio stations like KCRW do take you everywhere, yet that's just one of a hundred small things you have to do to succeed. It used to be, if you just got on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' and a spotlight on 'The Tonight Show,' that was enough.

I'm interested in every aspect of fashion. I think it's in my bones. When I was younger I used to be my mum's stylist, picking things out for her to wear. I'd say to her, 'If anybody asks you who styled you tonight say, 'Georgia.'

Yes, beef is what was for dinner last night. Tonight it will be my dinner, and it will continue to be.

I was always the class clown; I made my family laugh, and that was when I was always happiest. I grew up listening to stand-up comedians' albums and watching them on TV, on 'The Tonight Show' and Letterman.

We usually break our records every Monday, so we'll see what turns up tonight after midnight. Next month it'll probably be higher, which is always weird.

It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.

People don't know this, but early in your career, you don't just glide on to The Tonight Show

Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong, but tonight you're on my mind, so you never know.

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'

I'd like to do a television show that is encouraging, useful, and clean, and I'd like to go up against Entertainment Tonight and beat it.

I said to myself I've got to go up there and do it because the New York Mets keep winning every day. The game was on the line and I wanted to go out there and come through for my team. That win tonight means a lot for us.

History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose.

Americans are so direct. They'd ask me, 'What's your five-year plan? Do you have a five-year plan?' I don't know what I'm having for my tea tonight let alone a five-year plan.

I don't want to see anyone leaving single tonight. I want everyone to leave impregnated.

I gave up my base in popular culture when I left the Tonight Show.

We can't thank Dave enough. He could call me if my wife was about to have a baby and tell me he needed tonight for his show and I'd find some way to get her to let me head to New York.

Tonight I'm going to listen with my ears.

When I was young, I'd watch guys on 'The Tonight Show', Buddy Hackett, guys like that, where all they'd be is funny. Later, I remember, on 'Late Night with Letterman', I remember he'd have Jay Leno and Richard Lewis as first guests and the entire point was to entertain and be funny, and I think talk shows have kind of lost that.

If you want to know how rich you really are, find out what would be left of you tomorrow if you should lose every dollar you own tonight.

When I did 'The Tonight Show' and Jay Leno was still there, he was very nice but it was surreal. It's like you can't believe you're standing there talking to that person. If you've seen them in a lot of movies or on TV you feel like you know them, just like my fans feel like they know me.

I feel like a million tonight - but one at a time.

I was lonely driving here tonight so I hugged the road.

I've always wanted to get an education, and tonight's as good a time as any

Mick has expressed an interest in coming to the gallery tonight because he's seen me behaving myself lately. He is being much more supportive, which is nice.

When we developed the 'Seinfeld' show, we took a bet on Jerry Seinfeld, who was not a household name. But Jerry had a voice. He was appearing on 'Late Night', on 'The Tonight Show', had some commercials out there, his voice of observational comedy, looking at the world around him, that voice was really starting to come into its own.

It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great.

Every once in a while I get the highly inappropriate proposal which is like, 'Wow, Really! You don't even know me and I don't know you at all, and you want that to happen? Tonight? Ok, I get off work at 7.30.'

Tonight the city is full of morgues, and all the toilets are overflowing. There's shopping malls coming out of the walls, as we walk out among the manure. That's why I pay no mind.

My first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show was in '81.

I'm a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful' and Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' - songs that go straight to the point.

I said tonight I wanted to talk to you about love. Look into your hearts. This is our country. This is our future. These are our children and grandchildren. You can trust Mitt.

If drummers are 'anti-solo,' that's up to them. They're musicians, and they can play whatever they want. But my inspirations early on were people like Buddy Rich, seeing him on 'The Tonight Show', or Gene Krupa.

Late-night shows are 'Chopped.' Who are your guests tonight? Your guests tonight are veal tongue, coffee grounds and gummy bears. There, make a show ... Make an appetizer that appeals to millions of people. That's what I like. How could you possibly do it? Oh, you bring in your own flavors. Your own house band is another flavor.

Tonight - to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans - I ask for your support.

After my 1985 appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,' I was wooed by producers in Hollywood, who told me they wanted to turn my act into a sitcom.

I've been doing comedy longer than I haven't been doing comedy, as I was performing for three years before I even got on 'The Tonight Show.' There's truly nothing like it; it's intense and exhilarating, even though it looks so casual.

I've never been one for doing remixes. Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight: country Carrie or pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to.

More importantly than putting together a string of victories is being able to play consistently on both ends of the floor. Tonight was the first step toward blending good defense and good offense.

I was real proud of how the girls came out. We'd had a couple of matches where we came out kind of flat, but tonight we grabbed the momentum early and seized our opportunities.

I was standing pretty close, but it's not going to change anything. I told them regardless of how you feel right now, there's nothing that I could say or anybody could say that is going to change the outcome. Just know that you made a lot of people proud tonight with your effort.

I was happy for Ben Rhoda getting his 1,000th point tonight and the way he got the put back which basically (sealed the deal) in the game.

One thing is for sure ? we battled until the last out. Tonight was a perfect example of how good of a team we are and how much better we are from last year.

Personally, it's devastating . . . this will definitely haunt me for a little while to come. The scores tonight were a lot lower than I expected. But if I had stuck my second jump I could be out there on the podium.

One of the reasons I wanted to play in this tournament was to go up against a well-coached and well-disciplined team that didn't just chuck it up all the time. We did not do a good job running our sets tonight and Annapolis made us pay at times.

One of the reasons we've been so good for so long is the group of players we have are very competitive professionals. If we were the kind of team that looked at the standings and said we can take it easy tonight we wouldn't have the kind of success we've had.

On most nights when we've lost we've been pretty happy with our effort. It's never been a problem, but tonight it certainly wasn't one of our best games.

On the one hand, it's nasty to see it because you see what's going on. On the other hand, there are going to be a lot of happy women and children tonight because this is the first time we've had some men come out (in a while).

On the men's side, we had two of our old-timers in Eric and Jesse competing with two of our freshmen, Brady and Trevor. Jesse competed unattached tonight. He's coming off a foot injury, and he's just starting to come back. Eric was just tired after football. We've been kind of slow with him coming back. But he will be there pretty quick. His mark tonight isn't much off his personal best right now. Brady and Trevor both have a couple of events they need to work on. Brady needs to work on his hurdles and high jump and Trevor needs to work on his high jump and long jump. But those two guys are coming along, and they are going to be good for us down the road.

On the road we get a point tonight and that's all right, it would have been nice to get the other point.

Nine out of ten time we play this team, the would beat us. But not tonight because tonight is our night, tonight we win.

I wish I could have a group like this every year. But if that was the case, coaching would be easy and everyone would be coaching. Like I told them before we came over here tonight ?no matter what happens, I am proud to have had the opportunity to coach them.

I would have liked more close games, obviously. We switched around a lot. It was a clean, good start. I hope we get better games tonight and I'm hoping with the marquee teams we have tomorrow and going into the weekend, we'll have closer action on the court.

I wouldn't want to be out on the rural roads tonight up there.

I was telling someone that this was the best I felt before a game, ... Tonight was great. I'm happy that the drive went so well.

I was so frustrated with our last loss I said I'll fix it. Tonight I just wanted to attack and send a message. The reason I scored 62 points was because I wanted to win so bad. I just felt that I could continually attack these guys. It's a great feeling that I could do it here in front of our fans and give them an early Christmas present.

I was struggling the last few games with my shooting, but it didn't feel off. So, tonight I concentrated and had my feet set and was able to hit the shots.

I was really proud of our freshmen tonight. They really stepped it up tonight and was a big part of this win.

I was really proud of the way they swam this evening. We had a very average morning and it hurt us a little in the team scores. The ones that did get the chance to come back tonight did much better, had better attitudes and just raced better than this morning.

I guess I just have to hit the ball somewhere else. I had an opportunity hit some balls to score some runners tonight and I didn't do the job.

I was pleased with our defensive effort tonight. We played well all around tonight and we'll need to build on that.

I was pleased with our effort tonight, especially in the second half. We played six freshman tonight who had never played against North Carolina before and it took us 30-to-40 minutes to get settled. Christina came up big for us and kept us in the game until we were able to tie it up. After that, it was anyone's game.

I was pleased with our penetration. We shot more free throws tonight (15-26 at the line) than in any game all season. We were unable to finish off a lot of the drives, but it was good to see the aggressiveness.

I was pleased with our performance tonight in a pressure-packed situation. We're looking forward to improving on a couple events next year but overall our performance tonight was a big improvement from last year.

I was pleased with the effort but not the outcome. We moved the ball better tonight than we did in the scrimmages and I think as the season progresses will take better advantage of our strengths and improve.

I was pleased with the start tonight and we will be ready tomorrow.

No. 11 (Cobb) and No. 2 (Jones) are pretty good 3-point shooters, but our philosophy tonight was to keep the ball away from them, a lot. And that's one of the things I thought we did well.

Nobody is perfect all the time. I felt very good tonight but I had lots of problems in the fist inning.

I would have rather had eight points and a win than whatever I had tonight and to lose. We showed some good signs in coming back as we did. But we're not going to win too many games falling behind by 16 or 17 points like we did.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

My hat's off to Liberty for defending its home court. They came out in the first half and were ready to play. It's hard to unseat the King. We had to play a little better than we did tonight in order to do so.

Life has overtaken our original plans, and we're hear tonight to talk about the tragedy this weekend. We're here to talk about what happened and to try to prevent it from happening again.

Like Dougie (Weight) says, it's learning to win again. It's doing the little things that it takes to win, tonight was a prime example of that. The last two games were good examples of a lot of the leadership and a lot of the character in the room.

Some nights she's on and she can win you a ballgame, and sometimes she's not on and she can lose you a ballgame. Tonight she was on. Tonight she played with extreme emotion and intensity and passion for the game, and I was very proud of her effort.

Some nights you don't know how the puck goes in sometimes. Tonight we didn't know how it didn't go in sometimes. When you're playing a game like this, it's fun. Every time you get the puck, you think you can do something.

Somebody had to lose tonight and it was going to be a good team. The girls played hard and I couldn't be more proud of how they played. Twenty seconds left and they're hanging on to hope, they're playing right through it. They're classy girls. They've been that way all season.

Obviously (winning on the road) is a long time coming. The passion with which this team has been playing as of late, whether it's in practice or in games, is really something that's going to be the determining factor in whether we're able to get those wins on the road. I think tonight we were unfortunate to be tied up twice, but to continue to come back and continue to fight (showed that we were) passionate about the effort we were giving.

Obviously you don't ever want to give up short-handed goals. Tonight that one probably let them back in the game. We had a chance to really put them down, but it was a real momentum breaker.

One of the things I thought tonight is that we could never put two big baskets together, or put a basket and a stop together. And I give Nebraska a lot of credit for that. We got the crowd into it. I thought we were going to get a little momentum, and they would stop it immediately with a big play.

One's true character shows through when you're faced with adversity, and our kids were force fed some this week, but responded like champions tonight. If we want to make a run at the NCIC, we know we've got to run the table because you can't expect Rock Falls to lose more than one game, so tonight we took that first step.

One reason I'm happy about winning tonight is that we've never beaten Riverton Parke since I've been coaching.

One of the things we wanted to do tonight if we could was to establish some other offensive threats.

One of the things we emphasized tonight was the third quarter. Usually we have a slow third quarter with or without the lead and we outscored them by nine and that was something we were looking for.

One thing that hurt us tonight was our transition defense. They were playing a small lineup and we didn't recognize that they were coming down and looking for the 3-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night. We saw the best of Phoenix tonight.

One thing that plagued us tonight was our offense was good until we got to the penalty area. We didn't continue to play the same game. At points we controlled the ball for a long time.

One thing that was different about tonight is that we executed down the stretch. We did not turn the ball over like we have done in the previous games. We took care of the ball and we executed on offense. We rebounded the ball at the end of the game also.

One of the beauties of this team is we have so many guys who can score. Tonight was just really a matter of everyone stepping up and helping each other out. That's one reason why we're so tough too beat.

One of our goals tonight was to box out and keep them to just one shot on every possession. We did that most of the night. We stressed boxing out and going to the boards hard all week. That's the best we rebounded all season.

One of our goals tonight was to get the passing game back on track. John did a good job of that tonight.
