Fired Quotations | Page 2

I am sure they will have prepared hard for this game after our victory over them last year. Emotionally they will be pretty jacked up for us. We will have to come out and do our best to set the tempo of the game, especially in the first quarter when they will be so fired up.

Carl fired his biggest guns and the stock is down.

Burt Reynolds fired his agent after 'Boogie Nights.' If he has a lick of sense in his head, he'll kill his agent after 'Dukes of Hazzard.'

Because of the threat to their lives, the officers took necessary action and each fired one shot.

I looked out the window and saw a small boat with about five people in it, about 20 yards away. Two of them had rifles and one had some kind of rocket launcher. They were firing the rifle and then they fired the rocket launcher twice.

... I have been ensured that no shots will be fired at the funeral ... assurance from the other side (Clansman) was given a long time ago.

I hate that shots were fired in the bathroom at Maury Middle School, ... But had young people would have gone through with this, it would have been a whole lot worse situation.

I give Lewisburg credit. They came out fired up in the first half, and we knew they would be fired up. We were in the ultimate letdown spot. But the kids know in District 4 Class AA that you can't afford a hiccup any week, and we didn't want to end our season tonight against Lewisburg.

I felt like the kids were prepared and the kids were fired up. We had a lot of energy in the first half. In the second half, we were a different team.

I felt like our kids came out fired up. They were ready to match up against another team finally, and I was pleased with their effort.

I feel good. We had to win these two games, and we were successful. I'm fired up for next week, and then afterwards the fun begins.

I can't explain how that happened. You expect that a team playing at home would be fired up for the playoffs. We just didn't have that jump for some reason tonight.

I can't honestly tell you there has been a time in recent years where I've been this fired up, this excited. It's like I'm, well, 28 or 29 again,

I don't understand why we didn't come out with some energy, having built a 10-point lead on the road. I don't understand why no one's fired up on this team. We needed someone to be a spark plug, but we didn't have anyone to play that role on Tuesday and it caught up to us in the second half.

I expect to encounter a fired up team.

I don't think it will be that tough to get up for this game. I know coach is going to get us fired up. ... We will be ready to go Monday night.

I don't think it's anything with Edwardsville in particular, except they seem to get more fired up to play us than we get to play them. It's just one of those things. Sometimes in hockey it's a crazy bounce of the puck that makes the difference.

For months we have seen the government trying to cling to a pathetic pretense of a cease-fire. Surely Peter Hain can recognize that when live bullets are fired at the police and army, that constitutes a breach of even his definition of a cease-fire.

Glanville just brought a whole different type of attitude. We've got everybody fired up. We're a lot more aggressive. We like to fly around. We like to hit. That's what Glanville brought over here.

I got fired from a movie that ended up being called 'Windows,' which Gordon Willis, the cinematographer, directed. I got fired because he refused to cast Meryl Streep, who at the time was at Yale. I told him I thought he was an idiot, and he fired me.

I got a chance to be myself - they fired me. They just didn't like it. Your eyes are so big, and you're floating on the energy and excitement of it. ... When you get to game day and get to that stadium, all of the dreams that you live with as a kid come to the front.

If we were to find that an employee did that, they would be fired and we would most likely turn them over to authorities for prosecution. We're doing our best, and we're going to do even more.

If this were women's NCAA basketball, this would be like going into Tennessee - there's nothing like it. We're fired up for this; when you walk out and there are 15,000 people screaming and the walk-out is like the NBA finals - hey, it this doesn't get our kids ready nothing will.

If the artillery doesn't explode when it's fired up, it will come down and explode on the ground,

He's had a good playoff series. We're looking for him to continue that. He keeps the team fired up.

He was definitely fired up those first few innings, the way he was throwing the ball.

I always love being on the field. When you're on defense you can be a playmaker like you can't really when you're playing on the offensive line. And I was really fired up about that chance but it didn't rise to that, so maybe hopefully later on in the season.

I always liked having a good time. I got into this business because I got fired from any job I ever had because I stayed out late playing music.

He was throwing lazy jabs at me with his chin up. I stepped in with my jab and fired a right hook, then a straight left and it landed on the button.

He had three 0-2 counts where he left some pitches up and they just jumped on them; those kids swing the bat. I think he was fired up with all the kids in the crowd. But once he calmed down, he was tough to hit.

He had never fired a gun before. It was a scary situation for him. When he got out, he knew he shouldn't have been there.

He had more stamina than I will ever have. He came in with Roosevelt in 1932 and served two years under Harry Truman and they had a falling out, and my father, I think, quit about two minutes before Harry Truman fired him,

He has reported 10 minutes ago that he can hear shots being fired below him. People are screaming, and the Indonesian army is advancing up the mountain, slaughtering refugees. That is happening now, as we speak.

He fired the shots across the bow of Congress, and he has gotten the lower courts to pay attention to these things.

He fired one shot in the air and then ran away.

He fired dozens of rounds. It's a miracle no one was shot.

He gets us fired up. He's our emotional leader. He talks but he backs it up with his play.

He gets so fired up it makes you laugh. He can be such a passionate guy when it comes to football.

He gets fired up and thrives on challenges. He certainly is a go-to guy in tight games.

He gets fired up a lot, but he loves the game. He wants us to do well but for ourselves. He always has us ready to play.

He gets all panicky. A lot of players really needle him because he gets so fired up - hey Doc, just chill.

Having Congress or having other people call for him to be fired or call for him to resign would not be productive. That's something really only the president should decide.

He made me a nervous wreck but he was fired up and got the job done. He wanted the ball and that's what you like in a situation like that.

He came in here a little fired up trying to get us going. He knew they were giving it to us on the glass and scoring transition points. We knew if we got back on defense, they couldn't get that many good looks and that really helped us out.

To get a score like that really was a shot in the arm. It got everyone fired up.

He replied someone might say he should get fired and he has a mortgage to pay.

Have you ever heard an admissions director be fired because a kid flunked out of school?

Good advice is just watch what you say on Facebook, on Twitter, on social networks because being sued is not fun. Filing a lawsuit is not fun. And being fired and having to do all of those things is not fun. So just avoid it.

He said, 'I don't want you to call her no more, leave her alone.' ... He was really fired up. I started feeling like he was my boss.

He's a slow starter and it's been that way most of the season -- he gets better as the match goes on. I don't know what fired him up, but he got a second wind and it was over.

He's always so fired up. He gets the team back in the game when they get behind.

Holly was fired up. That's the best she's thrown in awhile.

We look at every game as if it's the championship game. We need to come out hard and fired up to get the momentum on our side.

We lost some guys last year, but we have replaced them with guys that are fired up about playing. That is something we haven't had in the past at Vanderbilt.

He was pretty fired up. He told us that we're one of the best teams in the state and we're not going to go out like that. We know we're a good team, just go out and play like we had been. We're not going to let it end this way after we worked so hard all year.

He was fired up for this game. He knew that we were going to use him a lot so we could save Erik and Marlon for the rest of the season.

He was fired up about winning. Not to sound too cocky, but we kind of expected him to win. He was definitely the favorite going in.

He was so mad, ... He was fired up.

He was a disciplinarian, ... Any time you got out of line, any time you fired back or had an attitude, you ran a lot of laps. I think I ran more laps than anyone.

He was 25 games above .500 as a head coach and took teams to the Super Bowl and four playoff appearances. The fact that he got fired by the Rams is a travesty. All the sudden they think they're the Yankees because they have one down year.

He was awesome. He was probably more fired up during the game than anyone.

He could handle longtime stars like Joan Blondell and Edward G. Robinson, and he also could handle Steve McQueen. Norman stepped in at the last moment (Sam Peckinpah had been fired after a week's filming), and that's not an easy thing to do.

He just gets fired up and thrives on that challenge.

He knows exactly what he's doing, even when he seems laid-back. He's a fun, relaxed guy who likes to joke around. But when he needs to take charge and get fired up, he can.

He likes to pick a fight. But in so doing he gets us fired up, too. He says things a lot of guys are thinking, but just don't say.

I was looking forward to it, I love a challenge. I like the fact that a lot of people don't think it is possible. That is fine with me. I want to go out there and not necessarily prove everybody wrong, but go and do something that not many other people have done. It gets me a little more fired up and a little more determined to do so.

Kenny was fired up all game. He was a player-coach. He was on the field all the time. I thought he might get a penalty.

I would not suggest the U.S. should sit down with the North Koreans bilaterally immediately after they've fired missiles - because the appearance is that you reward bad behavior. But if North Korea behaves for some period of time, I would pretty much favor direct talks.

Ken is very inspirational. Even though he hasn't been playing, he's been there with us at every home game. He's been on the sidelines cheering. He has a good heart, and he's always fired up.

Kelly's 200 IM was just a phenomenal swim. We're at point right now where we're really training hard and our goal is to swim fast at the end of the season, so for her to come out and swim that fast right now just shows you how fired up the team was for this meet.

Just telling them to do their best job, just the normal stuff to give everybody a shot in the arm, get them excited, get them fired up for the race. Something from his side saying 'I believe in you guys. I've trained you well, do your job today,' and everybody did.

I talked to him all week about keeping his composure and not playing out of control and I almost didn't start him because I knew how fired up he would be and I didn't want him in foul trouble. But he promised me he wouldn't get in foul trouble and he played really well.

I think it gets guys fired up. If it doesn't fire you up, you've got issues.

I think it came from being so excited about being here. They said (the readings) were all over the map compared to the test they had from 2003. I guess I was a little too fired up.

I think it adds a little excitement to it. It means something to the Redskins. We understand that and we understand that they will be fired up coming in here. I think our guys will be fired up, too.

I think in past years Nebraska's always got their best shot when they go into Columbia (Mo.). There have been some great games in the last 10 years there. You know we're going to get their best shot. They need this win just as badly as we do to stay in contention for the Big 12 North. They came off a big win last week, and they think they'll beat us, so they're going to be fired up.

I think it's big, you get off on the right foot. With all the festivities going on, the crowd was fired up, and I thought we played really well.

I thought we were ready to quit there when we got down, but Nicole really got us fired up and was a good leader out there. We had five sophomores out there playing most of the night and I think they were really nervous at the beginning.

It is a deliberate campaign against the army. We are professional. We would not fire shells at a sensitive time like this. We have not fired artillery or mortars at them for four years now.

I think the guys are pretty fired up. It gives you a whole different outlook, coming off a win going into a tournament like this. If we were coming off a loss we'd be thinking about our losing streak. Now, we have confidence and momentum.

I thought Ashton (Spence) did a great job today. We were fired up and excited, but luckily we weren't too over the top and were able to stay focused.

I think we made a big step. We came in fired up. I've never seen us more fired up.

I think we'll be ready. The kids are fired up. We've got three tough ones out of the way, and it's going to be tough again (today).

I think we just came out fired up. Right from that first drive we let them know, 'you guys aren't going to run the ball on us tonight.' We played the whole game with that attitude.

I think what happened there was the kids came out fired up. That set the tone right there. They had a really, really bad game last week and they really made up for it tonight. We had a great week of practice. When you play with emotion and intensity, that's what happens.

I think it's the first case of a person in the history of the U.N. who has learned that she has been fired by reading your report in the media.

It gets you fired up. I know they don't do it on purpose, but it brings you to another level.

It gets you all fired up to go lift weights now.

It happened several times ... the company is called Reliable and if we don't show up then we can't have that. The day he was fired we went down to his house and grabbed our van and the credit card and thought that was that.

I think they would be a better company if they fired half the employees.

I was actually thinking about that game. The biggest thing when you're in those situations is you need to get everyone around you fired up.

I was kind of fired up about my situation, and it was escalated when I heard they were stealing pitches, and that's my fault,

I think they had the swagger we usually carry. It seemed like we got frustrated, and we let down instead of getting fired up and trying to get it back.

I think they are a whole lot more fired up about lifting than going into that old fox hole that they used to lift in. It is definitely much better than the situation we were in.

I think there's a lot on this game. With how we lost in the Finals last year, we're definitely going to be fired up wanting to get a win. We also want to prove to everybody that we belong.

Jeff's our leader and when we saw him come back quick after being knocked to the turf, it fired us up. It put a little fight in our game.

Jeff and Ben are fired up to prove themselves on the court at state.
