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.

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.

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?
