Davis Quotations | Page 4

It's what some people consider the best single Davis Cup team ever with (Jim) Courier, Agassi; (Pete) Sampras was on the team, but he wasn't good enough to play singles. That's how good this team was. Some brother of yours was there, too.

It's weird, because American films in the 1930s and '40s, particularly melodramas, were made for woman, from Bette Davis to Joan Crawford to Barbara Stanwyck to Katherine Hepburn, and for some reason we've taken a step backward in this sense.

It was good to have Stephen Davis back in there. He hit some holes well and we were able to punch it in for a score. That was the big thing, a nice drive on the first drive and we get a touchdown.

It was just as close to Castleberry as it was to W.S. Neal and Castleberry had a very good basketball coach, ... I was into sports and loved basketball. They didn't have a football team. I was an above average student in a class of 19. I was able to get an academic scholarship to Jefferson Davis Junior College when I graduated in 1970.

That security didn't respond before Antonio Davis responded? I mean this guy was playing a game. His attention and focus should be on the game. If he feels his wife is in enough danger, where he has to go out in the audience, why wouldn't security see that? To me, it's inexcusable.

That's all my focus is on, on Ferrero on Friday, and I've probably been given the opportunity in this tie to crack the whole Davis Cup final wide open on day one.

I'm going to tell Anthony he's playing Davis every night. He played very well.

I'm not going to say (ticket sales) won't be affected because, of course, they will. But the important thing is for Davis to get healthy and, if that means not competing in Greensboro, then that's what needs to be done.

I'm definitely pleased with the way he ran. He went out with Davis who is one of the best runners in the area and gave it his all.

I keep saying that, if Samuel L. Jackson and Bette Davis could have a baby, it would be Taraji P. Henson. To me, she's one of the greatest character actors of our generation, let alone leading ladies. She's just phenomenal in everything she does.

I hope that we will break up that infamous tradition that a Davis Cup winner is defeated already in the first round the next season.

I have played 11 years of Davis Cup and I think once I won a fifth rubber so it doesn't come around that often. It is a special moment for Chris.

I love to play Davis Cup. I fight to the end. Sometimes I like to prove to myself that I can still go the distance.

I love Indiana basketball, but right now, Mike Davis is the only coach that I know, and who knows what the future holds for me? Hopefully, I can be with him wherever he goes.

In Davis Cup, you always get some surprises, like the one you had last year with Croatia. Thinking that we are also a Balkan country, maybe we can follow those guys.

I'm not against Flash, and I love the work that people such as Joshua Davis do.

I knew it was going to be low scoring because Davis was on the mound. But Drew kept it together and kept it low scoring too.

If Mr. Davis thinks it is responsible for that board in Halifax County to ignore all the statutes that govern what it is that they're supposed to do, then that is his opinion. The conduct of the local board of health and its employees in this case, regarding Lady Kitchin, is just about as asinine as that comment about what this case is about.

I have no problem playing 5A, but it would make just as much sense for (3A) Heritage Hills to play Ben Davis as it does us, because there's not that much difference between us and Heritage Hills as opposed to us and Ben Davis or Warren Central.

I like the way Bill does business and he has created a strong organization. NAPA and I look forward to continuing our winning ways at Bill Davis Racing on the track, as well as extending our successful marketing efforts off the track.

I just remember that it was my first start, and being so excited and just being so thrilled to be out there with those guys like Andra Davis and Alex Brown, being able to be on the field with them and get a chance to win a bowl game. It was real exciting, especially being an 18-year-old freshman." ()

I'll give you the Al Davis line: Just win, baby.

I look at the stats and kind of see a different game than I watched. I didn't really like the game I watched, to be honest with you. But the stats say we did some things well. And I was very proud of Maurice Ager and Paul Davis at halftime. They vowed we'd be better defensively in the second half, and we were.

I just looked on the Internet for certain trends and if anything pops out in the games that Michigan State lost. I think when they attempted less than 16 free throws, they lost every game, and they are a great free throw shooting team. I think there was also was a great discrepancy between wins and losses and how their inside player Paul Davis played. When he played well and scored over 18, 19 points, they usually won.

I really like what Davis (Love) did to the course, and it's now more like a Pinehurst course, ... Before it was more like a northern course, but I think now after he opened it up, it just suits my eye a little better.

I played some great tennis there (in Metz), really. The confidence from the Davis Cup stayed there and I played fantastic all week.

If you win, it doesn't matter if a Martian coaches your team. I hope I'm not hurting any Martians' feelings that are listening, but Indiana fans are like any other fans. They liked Mike Davis when they went to the Final Four, didn't they?

In my mind I'm pretending that Geena Davis is actually running the country because it makes me feel a lot more secure. We all thought of Hillary Clinton when we heard they were making this show. I hope it takes off!

In a Davis Cup tie, you always expect to win. Of course, you guys (the Americans) have the first chance, but in the Davis Cup, you always get some surprises, like the one last year with Croatia. We are also a Balkan country. Maybe we can follow those guys.

Claire is a role that easily could be unsympathetic and one-dimensional, but the always wonderful Davis softens her intrusiveness with genuine concern for her sister.

Clifton Davis is certainly an icon amongst the 35 and older audience of people who know him as Rev. Reuben Gregory from 'Amen. They'll be very loyal customers and people who have supported and followed him in the past.

California has reduced teen pregnancy rates by 40 percent over the last 10 years because of the support we've received from state lawmakers and the public.

He's skinny like Sammy Davis Jr.. He has a mustache like Sammy Davis Jr. I tease him with that.

I didn't realize Davis scored 27 points. Everybody contributed. Every time they tried to focus on Davis, somebody else came through.

Chase didn't have his stuff today. But he still came out and competed. Davis is a good team, that's why they're in first place.

Chad Davis gave us good minutes off the bench, and I thought we rebounded well.

But we also anticipated that once we took care of the primary actor - Chad Davis - this case would result in a negotiated plea.

Geoff Davis is associating himself with the highest national party leadership. I don't know how that's going to play in 2006. It might not look so good seven or eight months from now.

I felt that Davis wouldn't have gone Division I if they thought they were going to be at the bottom of Division I, because they were at the top of Division II. It's a great compliment to Sandy and his staff that they've been able to move so quickly in women's basketball.

I don't think Ellen Davis lost an event as an eighth grader. She's in our top three to throw (today).

I am very, very happy to have earned this first point. The start in a Davis Cup tie is always important and so I am glad we are ahead.

I am not the reincarnation of Sammy Davis Jr.

He's obviously had to carry more of the load when (senior forward) Chuck Davis got hurt. He knows he has to play at a high level for us to have a chance.

I could have shot 59 today with the way I'm playing, ... It used to be a great golf course, now it's just a good golf course. Davis came in and made it a lot easier, so there have been a lot of low scores out here and you saw that the first day with (Charles Warren) shooting 62.

Combine the history of Hillcrest, Davis and Bingham, and here we are in our seventh year, this is a cool thing for our school.

If Davis shot a 72 he'd say the same thing. The conditions out there were brutal. I actually felt sorry for the kids. The scores all across the board were the highest I've ever seen at an event like this.

He played really well and his game caught me off guard a bit. But I was expecting him to give me a tough match because the French always raise their game when they're playing at home in Davis Cup.

You can't say all that much. We've all been in that position, and I know personally I'd just kind of want to be left alone. Davis had a rough day and didn't shoot anywhere near the score he could have. He's not that far off.

This is a huge game for UC Davis as they are making the move into Division I football, kind of like their bowl game.

Alabama lost Chuck Davis and they are still growing.

The entire transition, from the January 6th sale through the employee move, has been smooth, We are very pleased with manner in which our two organizations have come together. Our number one goal is to continue the fine tradition of customer service the Davis Duke clients have known ? and we're achieving that.

Consistent with his request, we have done that.

The Davis Cup is my dream. I can't ask for more. There is nothing bigger than what I've lived today.
