Famous Quotes & Sayings

Duane Propes

We never really realized how big we were and we kind of knew it wouldn't last. We went from playing bars to playing arenas and when you do that, you don't think about it ending. We made a lot of money and we spent a lot of money, and now we're looking forward, not backward.

Rafer Alston

That's the way it is in some arenas. Some are as loud as can be. They're rocking and rolling. You have your Arco Arena, then you have your Atlanta. That's the way some arenas are.

Terry Stotts

Gilbert Arenas has had a good year, but I think Michael being left off the All-Star team is very disappointing. He's having the best year of his career. He's leading a team that hasn't been under .500 all year. He's scored in double figures every game. He's improved every part of his game. And I think it's a shame that he's not on the team.

Trent Reznor

I get involved with the set design, lighting and the use of film because I always hated seeing bands in arenas. They usually suck. You're not meant to see rock shows there.

I tried to make it unique, help frame the music, and make it more like theater, so it starts at one place and winds up at another.

The owners can sit there and do giveaways and lower ticket prices to get the fans back to the game knowing that what they are really doing is taking it out of our pockets, ... It's important to get people back into the arenas to watch hockey, but it is a lot easier to do when (the owners) know they still get money back because they are taking it out of our paycheck. In essence, the players are paying for all the giveaways and free stuff that the owners are doing. Which is all well and good, but you don't hear about it.

Bill Guerin

The people who are excited and ready to come back, we're extremely lucky to have them. The ones who are upset . . . you know what?
