Floyd Quotes from:
-
Album Quotes
The Weezer 'Blue' Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket's 'Circuital' is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' or 'Animals.' I always catch myself at concerts being like, 'Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.' I study them.

Complexity Quotes
There are so many ingredients that are contained in 'The Wall' that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from 'Animals,' which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense.

Against Quotes
(Mayweather is) too big of a fight not to happen, but obviously, it has to happen without Top Rank. Because I just feel that things that happened in the past with Top Rank, us not making fights together and Bob Arum not wanting to make fights with our fighters ... well, OK. If you don't want to make fights with our fighters, if I fight Floyd Jr., then you're not going to be involved. It's not giving him the satisfaction. It's like saying, 'OK, you're not going to be involved in the biggest fight in boxing since (my fight against Felix) Trinidad. If he wants to play that way, I'll play that way, too.

Against Quotes
I think in some ways Tiger has been slightly cheated in his career by not having tougher guys to compete against, like a Trevino, a Raymond Floyd and a Nicklaus. On Sunday, if Tiger went up against those guys, he'd know deep down, 'These guys are going to kick my butt if I don't play my best.' And I don't believe he thinks that way now. He knows if he's playing good, he's got it.

Early Quotes
When you're in the spotlight as early as Floyd was, it takes a toll in a lot of ways. But remember, when you're talking about a celebrity, things aren't always as they seem. Floyd made some mistakes, but not as many as some people would have you believe. He's always been a guy with a big heart who wants to do the right thing.

Costs Quotes
Five years ago, we studied the issue of dialysis to see what Floyd Valley Hospital could do to help. Since I've been here, we had studied the issue twice before and found wasn't feasible for us. The last time we studied it, we found it wasn't feasible unless we were able to knock down some of the costs so we could better subsidize the losses we could expect.
-
Company Quotes
Probably from a lot of perspectives, the fact that they hired someone with a substantial position with a growth company is a statement about what they think they will be able to do. They needed to get to the next level. I think Floyd did a phenomenal job getting them out of an incredibly deep hole. Floyd wasn't going to run this for another five years. They had to get to the next round of management. This is pretty impressive.

Best Quotes
After Hurricane Katrina, my wife and I, like so many others, were going to help, but we wondered what the best way to help was, ... We went through Hurricane Floyd here, so we knew that a few years later there were people still living in trailers. That stuff is so terrible. So we decided to put our energy not into the post immediate stress, but rather the stress that sets in a week later when 'Oh my God. We have no house, no job, your school is gone.' Those kinds of things.

Complete Quotes
I made a complete fool out of myself, ... It was one of the few times I've seen Raymond Floyd laugh out loud. That was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen. It was more than I could stand. Even though I'm playing well this week, I'm still the second-best player in my family.
-
Antipathy Quotes
I had a fantastic time. We hadn't played as Pink Floyd in 10 years and hadn't played with Roger in 25. The main thing was obviously the cause, but I was also pleased to get some of that personal, trivial antipathy that's been part of our lives for so long and pack that away. For several days, Roger and I went out together. I'm very pleased that we're now at a point where we can talk.

Along Quotes
In the original game plan, then, it would continue along Floyd River to the convergence with Willow Creek, then follow Willow Creek on over to the UP Railroad bridge. Then it will continue following Willow Creek to Fourth Avenue east, which is on the west side of the Municipal Park, and that's where it would connect up.
