Eddie Quotations

For Michael Wright and Frank Darabont to cast me as the ultimate good guy and Eddie Burns as the ultimate bad guy, and really switching roles from what we usually play, is pretty awesome. That generally doesn't happen, but TNT is a horse of a different color.

Art should be witty, like a good Eddie Murphy movie, to make your life a little easier and better.

I'm afraid Eddie the Eagle was before my time. All I know is that his glasses were three times thicker than mine, but I can jump three times further than he did.

I used to have the 'Best Of Eddie Murphy' VHS tape that I wore out completely, watching it over and over again. His 'Buckwheat Sings' is, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sketches on the show. I also loved the one where he plays the Tooth Fairy.

I wouldn't mind meeting Eddie Van Halen. That would be great. We need to invite him to a race.

If I wasn't Eddie Albert's son, I'd be someone else's. It gave me a chance to do a lot of traveling, but mostly I'm glad I'm his son because he's such a good man.

We were big Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy fans.

I remember I was a little girl when Elizabeth Taylor stole Eddie Fisher from America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, and the reaction back then was enormous! And Angelina Jolie was in trouble, too, for taking a husband away from another America's Sweetheart. Don't take husbands from America's Sweethearts.

Eddie Murphy was my guy for a long time. My first exposure to 'SNL' was his 'Best Of' VHS, and I would watch it over and over again. He was one of the few people on the show to play with the live elements and engage with the audience.

Eddie Jordan found me all the drives. If I am with Tyrrell today, it is because Eddie was there.

Eddie Haas talked a lot about not hitting the ball in the air.

But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process.

To me, there were comedies that should go up for Oscars. I think Eddie Murphy in 'The Nutty Professor' was one of the greatest acting performances of all time, but it'd never be recognized that way. They always go for De Niro and Pacino, but Eddie Murphy played seven different people!

I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called 'Martin.' From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on 'Saturday Night Live' since Eddie Murphy.

Greg Ginn was certainly a huge influence on my guitar playing. I put him up there with people like Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen changed everything; I don't necessarily like everything he did, but he definitely changed everything.

Eddie Izzard is wonderful, I think, but I've only seen that one HBO special he did. He's one of the few people who talk about stuff other than girlfriends and relationships and flatulence and genitalia. There are very few of them who actually talk about real stuff.

Cool is the enemy of funny. You can't be cool and be funny at the same time. Only Eddie Murphy could do that.

We are a team of spurts. Eddie really came in and got us going in the second quarter. We really locked down on defense in the third quarter. I thought that was one of the best quarters of defense I've seen this team play all year.

When I was a kid, I found out about Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent through the Beatles and the Stones doing covers of rockabilly songs,

When we bought it, Spiegel was in a difficult situation; it made a loss at that time. We invested in it and then it turned around, and then we bought Eddie Bauer and Newport News.

We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.

There is no doubt Benji has the ability to have a career in television and Eddie did say something to him.

We might have ended up scoring more runs than we thought on both sides. I was real proud of our kids after we did give up the lead to come back in that seventh inning. Kyle Shipp and Eddie Jones came up with big hits.

Last year, we had Tommy Eddie in the post, who was 6-7. Kendrick Fox started and was not really a post player.

She (Margaret) would talk about Eddie all the time, ... I happily listened.

Me and Eddie really hit it off as songwriters and also as just people. It lasted three years. I don't regret one moment. They were great to me.

My first foray into Evan's late-career albums, and it's even better than I had hoped for. Eddie Gomez on bass, and Evans even plays electric piano on a couple of bonus tracks. But the real meat is the original album. It's heading where it needs to be, but there are moments of surprisingly upbeat swinging, as well - and a nice take on 'Theme From M*A*S*H' ('Suicide Is Painless'). Once you've gone through the original trio recordings, you're going to be hooked for all you can get by Evans.

My early influences I'd say were, well, just about all the old great masters like Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, naturally Charlie Parker and quite a few others that are still around like Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Illinois Jacquet and of course my great friend Dexter Gordon.

My teammates know if they are going to use Raja Bell and Eddie House on me, it's a mismatch and they are gonna get me the ball.

Myself and Eddie O'Sullivan had discussed my future plans back in November and prior to the start of the championship. We agreed that we would talk again after the tournament. Any decision will not be made until after the Six Nations.

One thing that Eddie gives us is a guy who can try to drop off the front line and come at the defense a little bit.

I grew up in a very loving two-parent household in the middle of one of the worst ghettos in New York City, ... I didn't know I lived in the ghetto until I was like 20, 19. I came to LA with Eddie Murphy and stayed at hotels and all this stuff. When I got back and I saw what my neighborhood looked like, I started getting scared. I just thought everybody lived around abandoned buildings and had crack heads.

I don't know Eddie that well, but he has a great work ethic and that's why he's been in the game as long as he has.

I am thankful for the opportunity my dad (team co-owner Eddie Wood) and the Wood Brothers team has given me,

Glenn, Kyle and Eddie (Miller) are our three veteran guards and they're all playmakers. If you put the ball in their hands, they make coaching a lot easier. They make plays for themselves and others. And Glenn, he has the ability to be as good as any guard in our league, and I truly believe that.

He was a rare one: only 5 feet 7 inches tall, a lawyer and a combat veteran of the Korean War as a Marine officer. Eddie came from Washington in a trade in 1960 and ran the team in the first years while Don Meredith was learning. He was such a fantastic ball handler that even with sorry protection and the defensive line crashing in on him he threw a lot of beautiful long passes. The ball would fly out of the crowd like a mortar shell and sail 50 yards downfield. Eddie did everything by the numbers. If the receiver wasn't there, we knew whose fault it was.

He taught Eddie everything. He was very generous with his knowledge. ... I started learning everything I could about wine making and the politics of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms who, at that time, controlled your life.

He's (Convey) a guy that's dangerous on that side of the field. He and Eddie Lewis created a number of opportunities on the left flanks.

He has learned a lot playing behind Eddie. He has learned a lot about preparing for games and being the kind of pro Eddie is. Eddie is still No. 1.

What Eddie brings is a combination of excitement and effect, he plays the game in an attractive fashion. He is blessed with speed and touch, but that leads to goals and wins. He is an impact player.

With Mark Blount at the high post, I don't think teams can double- and triple-team Kevin as much. I think Mark Blount and Eddie (Griffin, the starter) both will give us that two-headed center at the high post that will keep them from sagging off on Kevin.

Here I am the best batting average in the music industry and I'm a bye word in the industry. I really am. Compared to Rod Stewart, I mean, Rod Stewart big deal. I mean, I know he's good and everything, but I played a show two years ago and I had to star under Eddie Money.

He's a guy I looked up to and went to when I didn't understand something. Eddie told me the way. When he left, I called and thanked him for showing me the way, showing me the ropes.

He's always been a great goalie. It's just that he played in the shadow of Eddie Belfour when he was in Dallas. I know guys that have had tough times in the playoffs. They like to rebound and show the world they are playoff players. He is a more mature goalie now.

He's Eddie Silavong ? he looks for a way to make big plays,

I also believe Odom would complement Eddie Jones and Brian Grant, our two veteran leaders. As I have said before, we are committed to winning and will do whatever it takes to give our fans talented players and a great team.

He wanted me to keep shooting and not refuse to shoot because I was missing. Like Eddie told me once, he's been in all the different scenarios -- been the main guy, the No. 2 option, and the third option. He knows how it feels.

He let a couple of floaters in the second and then he got his confidence in the third and that was the difference, ... Eddie just really stoned us in the third period.

There are so many books I love for different reasons. For superhero stuff, I always go back to Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' or his 'Swamp Thing' run. Those are my two favorites, and there are indie books that I really love, like Eddie Campbell's 'Alec' books and 'From Hell.'

John Eddie Williams has taken a sudden and expensive interest in the SD7 race. But instead of being upfront about his involvement in a Republican Party primary, Williams apparently attempted to hide his contribution by sending it through an innocuously named political action committee. Voters deserve to know the true source of campaign funding and the real players in the race.

It comes and it goes, ... He'll go out the first two weeks of the season and gain 200 yards and people will be saying, 'Well, the old Eddie's back.' You know, Eddie never left. It's overreaction and overanalyzing. He's going to be the same, and he is the same. We expect him to be as productive this year as any year.

It hurt. A lot. It's tough. Especially because that's what got us here. We all came up together. A lot of heart went out of the bullpen. Eddie and Hawk carried a lot of weight.

I thought Eddie worked very hard. I was encouraging him to go one-on-one, which I felt he needed to do a little bit more of. He had a decent first half.

I was doing a show at the Comedy Store which Eddie Izzard saw, and we chatted for a bit afterwards. I didn't really know he was; we just hung out as comedians together, and when he heard my story, he said, 'Why don't you tell that on stage?' I didn't really want to burden people with all that, but he said that I could have fun with it.

I think they were trying to slow us down, but Eddie Rose can handle the ball. Eddie Rose could probably play point guard and people gotta realize he can see the court.

I think we all thought Eddie Guerrero was going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day. We just didn't think it would be so soon.

I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I.

I think Ed and I made a good team because he wasn't a yes man for me and I wasn't a yes man for him. If I did something that he didn't agree with, he'd tell me. Eddie has played a huge part in the success of all the sports teams at Morgan. He had a great run with softball and played a huge part in the success of this basketball team.

I think Donovan and Beasley once again are players that we will count on. Bobby Convey (Reading) has the potential to help us in a World Cup, Eddie Johnson (Kansas City Wizards ) has the potential to help us in the World Cup.

Over the past week he's finally physically and psychologically recovered from his turf toe injury. That has been an obstacle for Eddie for a good six months or so, and that's completely past him. ... I think over the next couple of months Eddie should be back in full form and be a player who's challenging certainly for a spot on the World Cup roster.

My thing is you're only as good as the people you work with. I've been blessed to work with the Wayanses and Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, and it makes you better.

Like they've been all year long, they're very consistent throwing strikes. Brian threw well. We've probably misused Eddie to where we bring him in in relief. Eddie has done a great job for us. He has a good mix of speed. I was very pleased with those two guys.

I was very familiar with him and Eddie (Jones) and Rick Brunson. I just know what he's about. He's a steady basketball player, rarely makes mistakes on the floor.

I was very familiar with him and Eddie (Jones) and Rick Brunson, ... I just know what he's about. He's a steady basketball player, rarely makes mistakes on the floor.

It feels really good. Personally it was important, and to get the two points. Me and Eddie are pushing each other. If we continue to push each other and get wins, you never know what is going to happen.

It doesn't do any good to sulk, ... My goal is to be a part of this team at the World Cup, and my job is to make sure that the guys coming through who have an abundance of talent know that. Hopefully, I can help lead them in the right direction with where to be and what to do and how it's going to feel. That's the case with Eddie and when I was playing with Jeff Cunningham in Columbus. These guys have unbelievable amounts of talent, and it's important to make sure they know that.

I think having this change come upon me probably made me grow up and appreciate things more, ... It made me become a better man, become a leader, it sped up the process. Out there, my playing always (did the talking). Off the field, I was always in my own world. Being here, not having the (players like) Shannon Sharpe, Eddie McCaffrey or Rod Smith, it thrust me into that role and I'm enjoying it.

I thought Josh, Eddie and Thomas handled their first outing well. It was fun to watch.

Man, we're just resilient. We've got a pretty good road record (8-5), but tonight I thought what we did was pretty incredible, considering that Eddie (Jones) got ejected, Shane Battier fouled out and we still were able to pull this game out.

That was huge for us ... we needed the points and Eddie was there for us.

That was trademark Eddie right there. He's as good with the ball as anyone in his age group.

That's the way Eddie made his niche in the league, doing little things, doing the dirty work, continuing to play hard every night. That's what he's doing. His body's banged up right now, but he's still doing the things that Eddie does.

We have to see how Caleb is doing. We'll leave that competition open there, but Eddie is listed there (as the starter) right now.

You always want to end your career in the jersey you started, ... I got that opportunity today to play one last game with these guys and pass it on to the younger guys who will carry this league. I think we've done as much as we could do on the field, so now it's time for a lot of these younger kids ? the Eddie Gavins, Landon Donovans, DeMarcus Beasleys ? to take the reins. We can work on the outside ? become the coaches, the GMs, the guys who run U.S. Soccer.

We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players. An example of that would be Eddie Pope and Jim Conrad. Based on play over the past month and a half, they would be included in this roster if we were simply basing it on performances. But we have guys we need to look at now.

We were hanging out. I'm a huge Eddie Murphy fan. Maybe people could just see that, and that's why they made a big drama. But there is nothing going on. That's the last time I saw him.

When I first read the Eddie Lowery connection in the script, I thought this scenario was created because it was Disney making the movie,

We didn't execute our game plan. They had other guys scoring big numbers. Eddie Jones scored big. Shane Battier scored big. Bobby Jackson came in and had a big night.

We are disappointed that Eddie can't participate for Team Canada at the World Cup. But we are thrilled that Jose is a part of our team.

We had a pitch count and we felt Eddie was getting a little tired there. I think he walked three batters in the fourth inning. We thought it was a good place to pull him. We had the top of their order coming up for the third time. Jeremy was ready. Eddie threw strikes all day. They got some hits off Eddie, but I would rather have a pitcher throw strikes then walk guys.

When Eddie and Alex got wind of what was going down with my greatest hits record, they called my attorney. They thought something was up.

We sat down and had some long discussions internally and with Eddie, but we didn't make any counter-offers. Eddie is very committed to MLS, and to FC Dallas and its new stadium.

When you look at their offense, that's what they're built for. They pride themselves on being a physical team, even back to the days that Eddie George was there. They still have that attitude, and you can see it on tape.

We always made sure everything was alright, that we were all comfortable. We were always fighting and bitching, whining, complaining. Spending each other's money, lie, cheat and steal. One thing beyond a doubt though, Eddie Guerrero, when he stepped through the ropes into the ring, he was king, he was the boss, he was the man, he was the engine. He proved that to me every time I stepped into the ring with him.

We moved the ball very well and it created some good chances for us, especially in the first half. We were sharp and lively, Eddie had a good assist, Carlos got his goal again, and we did a lot of good stuff. We had two good chances from inside 12 yards in the first half, and if one of those goes in, we're one up and it's a different story.

When someone can, on a worldwide level, make someone laugh, that's power. A lot my heroes - Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, the Wayans, Adam Sandler - they get it. And I've always felt that Andy Samberg is the future of comedy.

Figure skating is always a huge deal. Winter Olympics frequently create new heroes in America, even in rather obscure events ... or at least some unforgettable characters, like (British ski jumper) Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards who managed, quite flamboyantly, to not get himself killed when flying off a ramp 18 years ago at Calgary.

To quote Eddie Vedder, it can't be said enough - all you need is love.

You bet. We own the Titans. I remember the good old days when I would blow up Eddie George with a big hit. Now, they've got another running back with two first names, Travis Henry, whom I plan on blowing up in the same manner.

We just executed a lot better than we did in the opener. Eddie (Jones) was hot for awhile and Pau answered some big hoops when we had to have them in the fourth quarter.

We've really pitched Eddie a lot the last couple of weeks. We felt like this way was the best way to go.

We hung on down the stretch. We were able to make big plays. Eddie got hot in one stretch, and Chucky and Pau made plays that helped us get a much needed win.

We see in Eddie a player with great potential, and certainly the injury put him back. He acquired a reputation that people expected a lot out of him, and I'm not copping out of that. We do expect a lot of Eddie, but at the same time he's a young player and he's getting there. His best soccer is probably for the next World Cup in all honestly. He's got a bright future, and we're hopeful he's moving forward.

We had several football players on that team. Eagle Day, Billy Kinard, Eddie Crawford. Back in that time, the various coaches did not demand 100 percent of your time to a specific sport.

We had really pitched Eddie a lot the last couple of weeks. We talked before the game, and he told me he felt good. But we just felt that we should hold him out, no matter what.

We went through an important year in 2005 where neither Eddie Johnson, John O'Brien, Claudio Reyna nor Cory Gibbs were around much due to injuries, and those are four players that you would think are clearly going to be on our roster for Germany.

'Boomerang!' I love that movie just because of Halle Berry, Robin Givens, Eddie Murphy, Grace Jones and Eartha Kitt. There were so many characters. As an actress, to see African-American actors be so diverse was different from what I was used to seeing.

Everybody knew Eddie and everyone called him that -- not mayor,

Diana had a high thin voice that used to annoy me. Eddie too, ... We'd say, 'Why don't we let Mary (Wilson) sing the song?' But Brian was adamant, it's got to be Diana. Two against one, but we finally let her sing. We brought the keys down for Diana, to give her a fuller sound.

Everson was very tough in the middle. I think he was the only kid on the team to play a complete game. I also saw some good things from Leonard. Eddie is a tough kid both physically and mentally. He has to score and set up other people to score.
