Hal Quotations

It was much more fun playing with him than against him. If you wanted one pitcher to start the seventh game of the World Series, which he did in 1945, you'd pick Hal Newhouser.

'Evita' obviously would always be very special to me because it was the first major musical that I did on stage and created in the U.K. with Hal Prince directing.

So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.

When we first met, I was so impressed with him. But Hal took a dislike to me, just like his character in the play. Probably my Southern politeness, which he thought was kind of phony. It was only near the end of the shoot, when I was sick as a dog with the flu and I stopped trying to charm him, that he got over that dislike, and we started to laugh together.

We have to get (Juan) going. I think (hitting coach) Hal (McRae) sees the correction that he needs to make.

No one ever had a finger on the pulse of sports fans in this town the way Hal did. That was his greatest strength.

My first job on 2001 was to make all of the HAL readouts: the 16 screens that surround HAL's eyes.

Basically the Subaru ran the light going southbound on Hal Greer. The guy in the Taurus was just going under his green light and she hit him and spun his car into the grass.

We're pleased that we were able to come to this agreement in advance of the arbitration process. We recognize that Hal is an important part of our defense and is one of our steadiest and most reliable players.

Hal is an talented chief financial officer who has made valuable contributions to the company, and we wish him well in the future,

Hal Holbrook was in one of my first television movies when I was about 18 or 19. He'd made such a strong impression on me and a lasting one in terms of what being an actor was.

Hal and I really just sat back and started thinking about things, and the way that I need to go about seeing pitches and getting in the right frame of mind, ... I've just been working hard every day to get where I needed to be.

Hal was the go-to guy when it came to the rules of baseball.

Hal was like a coach on the floor.

Hal was a real journalist. He grew up in a time when newspapers were kings and always kept the sense that the printed word was magic.

Hal was aggressive, but he was a great boss because you always knew exactly where you stood with him.

Hal Rogers is just incredible, ... When you get someone like that on your side, you can't hardly tell him 'no.' He knows where the pockets of money are in Washington, all of 'em, and how to spend it.

The amazing thing about Hal and those guys is how much of the game's history they witnessed.

I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.

You hurt afterwards obviously, but the best part of a marathon is training for it, running with Hal and Lynn, and other people. The solitude of running allows thinking, it's my release from the frustration and pressure of working.

We are still very saddened by the fact that Hal was never able to be free. To minimize stress, we handle wild animals as little as possible so they can be released back into the wild.

I've been a huge fan of Hal Ashby forever. And I think that the distinctive thing about 'Coming Home' is the love story, and how - kind of emotionally real it is, and how these two characters allow each other to see their - kind of vulnerabilities. And it's great because it's a love story that's not really that cheesy, either.

Everyone around here knows Hal and we're glad to be a part of his return to radio. We all know he'll continue to inform and entertain us just as he always has.

I had no idea how difficult Sondheim's music would be. All through the rehearsals, I kept flubbing. There were so many tempo changes. I could never get through the opening number without any mistakes. One day, I went up to Hal Prince and offered to leave the show. He laughed it off. He said, 'Don't be silly. That's why we have tryouts.'

I'm very happy to be back in touch with a part of myself. It's surreal. For 35 years, I never thought I'd be reunited with the music I wrote during the Creedence Clearwater Revival years. After meeting with Norman Lear, Hal Gaba, and Glen Barros (President of Concord), I'm happy to say that the new Fantasy is very enthusiastic about my body of work. All the people there have been delightful. They are honoring my songs that hold an important place in the history of American music. And, they are honoring me.

I'm a writer and director. And the movie I've seen a million times is 'Coming Home,' directed by Hal Ashby and starring Jon Voight, Jane Fonda and Bruce Dern.

I guess professionally it began when Hal Hartley used some music of mine in his film The Unbelievable Truth.
