Collins Quotations

I know about the sweet home. I went to school with 'em boys, what became Lynyrd Skynyrd; I knew Allen Collins, the skinny girl-beautiful guitarist. I put Allen Collins in every travel piece I do. Travel writing is harrowing, going to Bermuda with a banjo on my knee.

The way we got Phil Collins for 'Tarzan' was that we heard around the studio that he was looking for a Disney project, and we got him. It seemed like a perfect match. Phil is a great musician.

The records that I grew up listening to had feel, and the drummers that inspired me - like Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Phil Collins and Roger Taylor - all had their own voice and individual style.

Urban Fantasy is a subgenre pretty much designed for teenagers. It's pretty twee, but I adore it. I've been trying to come up with an Urban Fantasy comic ever since I'd read the Nancy Collins 'Sonja Blue' series years ago.

Harper Collins gave me a letter of intent saying that they want me to pen down my autobiography. When I was recollecting the incidents of my life for that, I selected only those incidents which were turning points in my life. I staged it instead of writing it.

I lived the stuff that Jackie Collins writes about.

On the court, Jason Collins is not a huge basketball star, but he has already claimed his place in civil rights history as the first openly gay athlete to play in one of the four major U.S. sports leagues.

Billy Collins writes lovely poems. Limpid, gently and consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides.

We've all put a lot of work in this project. The organization has put a lot of work in. He's put a lot of work in. Coach (Davey) Collins has put a lot of work in. When you put that much work in you want to benefit from it when it clicks.

We found generators for the pumping stations in Collins after Katrina, ... If there is a similar need in Houston we will be there.

When I was a wee little kid, I used to watch 'Dark Shadows' all the time, so I was a Barnabas Collins fan.

Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society . . .

One of the things that this guy Collins says is, he measured great organizations, great businesses ... they lasted,

I got this idea for the business from a friend in Fort Collins that started a similar business but said he was too busy to keep it up. I couldn't conceive of someone having a successful business concept, getting so many calls he couldn't handle it, and letting it peter out.

I love Collins; he's unflappable. For them to win, I think they needed Collins to be who Collins is and one of those other two guys have a good night. Just Collins had that night, and that's one of the reasons that we won.

If I'm going out on the town in New York, I always wear Danielle Collins T-shirts - they are expressive, young: independent woman in charge of herself, her body, and her mind.

He seemed young and decisive, able to make the shift from guerrilla leader to political leader, rather like Michael Collins of the Irish Republican Army did in the early 1920s.

He was a big part of Collins Hill. And there was no better way to honor him than playing the way we did tonight.

He used to go around guys. Now he's trying to go through guys more. (Against) defenders who are willing to take the punishment, like Jason Collins in New Jersey, that's where you see where Shaq has lost some of his side-to-side mobility.

Harper Collins wanted to change it. They changed it about eight times. Too many cuss words. The whole book is not just about gambling, it's just life. A lot of good things, and a lot of bad things. It was kind of therapeutic talking about it. I'm 40, and it was cool to get one out now. And, hopefully, there'll be a sequel or a movie, maybe.

We are going to play him with his hand in the ground at defensive end mostly. We plan to do a lot of different things with him similar to how Auburn plans to use him. He is everything as advertised. Coach Collins and his staff did a great job getting him ready for us.

Joan Collins unfortunately can't be with us tonight. She's busy attending the birth of her next husband.

I think (the festival) is a good opportunity to establish Fort Collins as the literary hotbed of the region. It will allow us to celebrate what we have here already and expand on that.

Lace Collins really had some great leadership tonight. I was really pleased with her play.

It gets down to a question of how proactive stakeholders in Fort Collins want to be in addressing these issues. Some people aren't willing to be proactive, others are, and that's what we're going to find out.

I saw the game against England 12 months ago and thought the lads did really well for 45 minutes, but there have been many changes since then. And even from my first game in charge against Germany in February we have seen Lewis Price, David Vaughan, Richard Duffy, Joe Ledley and James Collins all move into the senior squad.

I saw you on TV today saying Kerry Collins has no chance of being a starting QB option no matter where he lands this year. I wonder why you say that when Collins is a much better QB than the current starters in Arizona, Baltimore, Dallas, Miami and San Francisco.

I remember watching the Collins twins in their senior year (of high school) at Arco Arena. I'd have to say (the Lopez twins) are more developed at this point. They are really good athletes. They can run. They both have good ball-handling skills. It's been remarkable watching them grow. You wonder, when are they going to stop?

I was thrilled just to be an assistant. This is the greatest honor, other than coaching our girls at Collins Hill, that I've ever been awarded.

Mel is playing really well right now. Collins was on tonight. She wasn't missing any three-point shots and she totally amazed me.

That whole issue of 'Can a woman be tough enough?' has plagued women candidates. That's starting to change. We've had experience with Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright as secretary of State. (Shuttle commander) Eileen Collins lands on Earth and looks like she just took a Ferris wheel ride. Those things change the perception of what women can do.

We haven't seen Coleman Collins for 10 weeks. We might not see him again the rest of the season. I can't tell you that. And I wouldn't blame him.

Well, it got me a smile from you. She had a cushy job, working in that office. Figured she should have flowers. I was working at R. W. Collins Excavating Co. Worked there driving a truck for 26 years.

We played Colorado State well last time here and we have played well in Fort Collins the last couple years. I think last year was one of our best games we have played there.

We played very poorly against Rocky Mountain, so we wanted to come out against Fort Collins and show what we could do. We brought our 'A' game (Thursday) and, hopefully, we opened up some eyes around the state.

We were sick about that. Kerry Collins is not the fastest guy, first of all.

You know, we lost (Game 1), we give them all the credit. It's unfortunate that when we win, it's because of other things. You have to play against different people certain ways. Jason Collins and Cliff Robinson are doing a good job. It's unfortunate he believes that.

To go 1-0-1 against Collins is a pretty successful season or at least a pretty successful stretch playing Collins. Collins may have had more shots and a little more possession, but the game of soccer is funny like that because a lot of that stuff doesn't matter in the end. In the end, we're both 0-0. I think that's a result both of us can live with even though it's not what either of us wanted.

Yeah, but it costs 17 cents a bushel to truck the wheat from the field to Collins (the nearest 110-car loader).

Towns like Mount Olive and Collins suffered tremendous damage, and you don't see that on the national news. A lot of people around here lost a lot and need help.

We want to highlight everything that is a part of the mountain culture - from culture, to environment, to adrenaline, to something humorous and quirky - and something to cater to the Fort Collins community.

The Denver Broncos just aren't going to allow Kerry Collins to complete a pass in the middle of the field.

We would be interested in bidding if Collins & Aikman in the U.S. were to come up for sale,

We knew that we had many talented players. What's surprised me was how good our defense has played. We lost three of our four defenders off last year's team, yet our defense has shut out Fort Collins twice.

To the unwashed public, Joan Collins is a star. But to those who know her, she's a commodity who would sell her own bowel movement.

There is definitely tension there (between Collins and Cherry Creek). But I think everyone has some sort of tension with Creek because they are so good. But this year it's just more about us doing well as a team.

This was everything you want in a soccer game - 100 minutes of pure excitement. Both teams played exceptionally well defensively and offensively. For us to shut out a team with with their size, counter attack ability, and offensive capabilities says a lot. Klein Collins needed the win to help secure a playoff position. There was a scramble in front of the goal with just few minutes left to go in the second overtime.

We just hope that we see (the real) Coleman Collins tomorrow. That's the biggest thing. Something good needs to happen to that kid.

To be honest, I went up and scouted them last week and they were scrimmaging Green Mountain, a ranked 4A team, and I was extremely surprised at how good Collins was.

Our excellent third quarter results were driven by continued outstanding performance at Rockwell Collins and impressive gains in operating margins at Rockwell Automation compared to a year ago,

Coleman Collins is one of my favorite players in the league. I think we feel very fortunate to get only five shots out of him tonight.

Coleman Collins gave us everything he had. It?s remarkable that he?s even been with this team the last two months?I?m appreciative of everything he tried to do and everything he gave us.

As a baseball operation, we are seeking to carry on the Dodgers' long tradition of developing top-notch players.

This is about the fact that all of the local bread-and-butter nonprofits are the ones that make Fort Collins the best place in the world to live, ... The groups that don't have a national basis wouldn't be able to survive.

It's an interesting and exciting time. We did that with the Raiders. We started John Ritchie, Mo Collins and Charles Woodson. Despite all the people that think I don't like young players. I've done it before and I'll do it again if they're our best players.

It's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's the Raiders against the Giants. It's this team against that team.

It was kind of hard for us to have Collins in the first game because they have pretty much the same team back from last year so it was easier for them to mesh together. I think we have gotten a lot closer over the last few games, so it will be interesting the next time we play them.

I've got a real hero, and that's Pat Collins. I thank God for Pat Collins and the job that he did, his character and the team of prosecutors.

They have tremendous weapons including a better offensive line. We had to adjust to Shay Hodge but we couldn't forget about Chris Collins and the other players they have. It was a hard-fought game that either team deserved to win.

I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants. I'm sure I wouldn't be if that were the same situation in my case. But at the same time, it's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's Raiders against Giants. One guy can have a vengeance, but you have to go out and play the game as an entire team.

I'm happy for him. We've all put a lot of work into this project. He's put a lot of work in. The organization has put a lot of work in. Coach Collins has put a lot of work in. If a guy's going to pop, you sure would like for him to pop on your watch, in your organization.

If we can come out against Collins and score in the game's first 10 minutes, it would have changed the tides of everything.

In the first half, we moved the ball pretty well. We got some younger kids in in the second half to get them some early reps. But Collins was pretty consistent the whole game.

In their six losses, three of them have been to the Collins twins. That's the key ingredient right there.

I reluctantly agreed to pull half our transmission line crews off other projects and made getting the transmission lines to the Collins substations a priority,

I haven't seen or spoken to Ray Collins in at least 10 years so I don't even know if he's alive. I hope so.

Home in Ireland, I went to Collins Barracks and spent some time wandering around, making notes on the various guns, knives and swords.

He told me to never give up. Collins said the game is more mental than physical.

He's one of the best players in the league. They have four guys that can score 20 points or more each night, so you can't really concentrate on just one guy. But, obviously, Collins is their leader.

Collins recovered a fumble on Elk Grove's final drive to give us the ball for the last time and Cameron Ryan made a key run for a first down to seal the victory and allow us to run out the clock.

Collins I think had a higher percentage of first serves. Much higher than the Mill Valley meet and the ground strokes, not bad for windy conditions.

Collins is a bald, bland Englishman who writes interchangeably uninteresting songs.

Collins gave us everything he had. It's remarkable that he's even been with this team for the last two months.

Fort Collins is a good team, and playing a team like this will make us a very, very good team.

You could see the frustration in his eyes, ... ... knowing Collins would probably go in a different direction. You look for that kind of stuff on film, for the frustration in a guy that would cause him to not run routes as hard or seem as enthused. People look for a lot of things in T.O. That's not one of them.

All I can say is Kerry Collins is an outstanding quarterback. As a matter of fact I spoke with Kerry just before I came down here. He is excited about moving forward next year. ... I think he has a chance to be great for us.
