James Quotations | Page 6

It was a time where you worry about having your team buckle, but giving it to James made it easy.

It was important for James to win the first bout and get off to a good start.

It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?

For James to bowl as well as he did on his debut was fantastic. It was a good a toss to win, but we exploited the conditions fantastically.

For me, James has become much more than an artist doing a piece. He's the kind of guy who when you hire him to do an artistic piece like that wall system, you do it together, but then he's hanging around the office, so you ask his opinion on everything.

It's the guy who drives the fast cars, can beat up the rest of the guys and gets the girl, ... You could say it's a working-class James Bond. A Bond who drinks Heineken and not Dom Perignon champagne. He's a bit less refined, but still very capable.

It just depends on what the big guys want to do, it depends on what Rupert wants to do and what James wants to do.

It's for the other lads as well as for James that I'll keep fighting to get my son the help he needs. James is ill and he needs help. And so do his mates.

It shows the spirit we have got going in the club. What James is good at is running at people and putting them under pressure. He did that today.

David James is a tremendous acquisition. We have been looking to strengthen the goalkeeping position and to secure the England number one is terrific news,

Darren asked the selectors not to consider him for the tour of Pakistan for personal reasons and we respected his wishes. With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup.

Doing this James Brown thing for the last couple of days has been ideal. But it's a different kind of fun.

It's like James Brown used to say... I don't know, but whatever I play it's got to be funky.

It's nice to have a few names. I use a few names myself. I use a few different surnames. I call myself James sometimes. I actually use my mother's name as a professional name. But if someone calls me Mr. Murphy or Mr. Gillen, I don't like that. I don't like being called 'mister,' and I don't like being called 'sir.'

Everyone seems to have his or her pick on who will be the next James Bond. That's because Bond films resonate with movie-goers. Bond, himself, is suave and elegant, and the films are always edgy and suspenseful. Those are the reasons why these action-thrillers remain contemporary and never fail to make an impact with audiences.

Everyone has been telling these great James Taylor stories, and nothing for me says it better than this song.

Every now and then you run into people who have the talent, and James does.

The addition of Sherman, Josh and James to our Sales team underlines our dedication to bringing the absolute best coverage possible to our institutional customers. Their experience and knowledge will continue to strengthen our brand and our business, and we are pleased to welcome them to the Firm.

That happens, and you march on. We're sitting here 3-3 with five games left with a chance to either win or lose them all. ... James gives you more aces in your hand. We'll have to pull another hand.

It's definitely important to win early. Especially, Coach James tells us, we need to win at home. If you win at home, it really helps you to take care of your business down the stretch.

It was kind of an adjustment for James to go from high school to college, but his learning curve has sky rocketed. He's not very vocal, but he can lead a team so well and do so many things on the floor that don't show in the stats or the highlights.

It was no good really. I struggled from beginning to end. Something is wrong with the bike and we daren't change to the second, as we hadn't run that other one yet. So to say I am disappointed is an understatement. Every time I entered a corner, right or left, it was chattering, and I was so sideways. It has to be the bike, because James and I have such a similar race set-up, it's just not funny.

I've had brief conversations with Patrick but he hasn't told me anything outside of it's between James (Blake) and I, ... I know that this week and next week will be a factor in his decision. Anytime I can get a chance to play Davis Cup, I definitely want to do it.

I've had several evenings with James and he has transformed me. The experience is like a two-by-four across the forehead.

I've learned more and more on each show that I've done. I've been blessed and I've gotten to work with some very talented actors - James Gandolfini, Treat Williams. I've kind of always asked for advice and tried to take in as much as I could whenever working with them.

Oh, please James is running scared. James has got the biggest mouth in boxing, but he does not have any heart. He had a chance to fight me when he fought John Ruiz. We thought we were going to make something then. Then it fell apart.

Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.

It was a great result. We made it difficult for ourselves but if it was not for James we would have scored three, four or five goals.

It was one of those drives where you want to milk the clock as much as you could and giving the ball to James makes it pretty easy.

I want to play James Bond - are you kidding me? I'm putting my name in the ring!

It takes a special athlete to compete at such a high level in both football and basketball. James came here to play both sports, and I admire the way he handles the dual role. Wide receiver is one of the more complex positions on the football field, so to have that much success in his first season speaks volumes about James' talent and potential.

The vote of the 24-member board was conducted by union president James P. Hoffa by conference call this afternoon.

It was huge for James because whoever was winning, it was a huge disadvantage. If you are up a set, you are thinking about, ?what is going to happen if I win.? He was losing and he wasn?t thinking about winning at all -- he was thinking about getting back into the match. He decided we would make a couple of minor adjustments; standing a little farther back was one them. It also relaxed James.

The sentencing of James Davies marks the end of an extensive and thorough investigation involving three police forces.

Nothing would please me more than watching James for two weeks, ... I'd be doing backflips if James is playing for two weeks.

Against St. James we did a good job defensively. In the first and third quarter, we gave up one point combined.

Any time we go against James River, it's going to be a big match.

That's a lot of shots. We key a lot of our defense to him. He didn't have an outrageous night. When you've got a guy that's rising on you and you've got your center, your power forward always out on him, it just wreaks havoc on the boards. James did a good job on him.

That's a lot of shots. Obviously, we keyed our defense to him. James (Posey) did a good job on him.

I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.

I met a guy there who does a western cowboy program, and I thought that was something maybe we could do, too. I approached James with the idea and we decided to try it.

I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch "Rebel Without a Cause" a hundred times over.

I kind of wanted to give him that James Evans nobility, ... With the exception of 'The Cosby Show,' every black father I see on TV, they're not really masculine. They're like these theater-type guys -- not gay, not straight, just theater.

I keep up with James Kochalka's online strip, and if I see a link somewhere or someone tells me about something, I'll look at it, but I don't usually keep up with any sites other than the 'American Elf.' I always have this feeling that there's not enough space in the screen, like everything's always getting cut off.

I have only read very classic traditional English ghost stories, other than Henry James, who wrote some magnificent short ones as well as the longer 'Turn of the Screw.' He, Dickens, and M.R. James are my influences.

I love long sentences. My big heroes of fiction writing are Henry James and Proust - people who recognise that life doesn't consist of declarative statements, but rather modifications, qualifications and feelings.

In my early days, I wrote my dissertation for MIT at the London School of Economics, really under James Meade, but my dissertation was five chapters on the theory of capital movement, but it didn't mention money.

I'm in (receivers coach James Lofton's) pocket the whole game to try and get out there.

I like Pierce Brosnan a lot. But he's playing James Bond - he isn't him. All the poses and stuff, it looks a bit bland. And the gadgets and set-pieces... it looks like the stories are now built around the gadgets, and not vice-versa.

I like movies in particular, on video or T.V. I have lots of old favorites, like Danny Kaye in 'The Court Jester' or 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' or James Stewart in 'Winchester '73.' But I also like a lot of modern films.

If James Madison were here today, Senator Byrd is exactly the kind of leader that he hoped the American Republic in the future would bring to power: someone of his stature and his learning and his understanding of history and philosophy. I think he would be very pleased.

If James Franco's wearing a costume, and I'm wearing a motion capture suit, we don't act any differently with each other because of what we're wearing. We're embodying our roles.

If James Earl Ray confesses to the public that he has more information and more people, there will be a trial.

I had to get them jacked up because we weren't ready to play. James went down and we moved some guys around and really stepped it up and were able to come away with a win.

I never had a problem with Bryant. He's a perfectionist, and that's to his credit. When he did interviews, he had these big note pads, and watching him go over his questions was like watching James Levine conduct. I'm a better journalist because of him.

I never had a favourite book! I liked all kinds of things - science fiction, so I read Heinlen and Ray Bradbury, and I also liked reading about kids like myself, so I read Judy Blume and Norma Klein and Paula Danzinger and a lot of other writers. I also read James Herriot!

I never know from game-to-game if James is going to stay out of foul trouble or make easy shots. He has a propensity to turn the ball over. I never know from game-to-game where James is this year. Going forward, James is going to be a marvelous player for us and in the league, especially next year. But this year, I keep an eye on how he's playing and what his approach is.

I may not have the gun that Jesse James had when he was gunned down, but if there's a piece identified with him and the same place, then I get interested; it's always excited me.

I'm coming from a Ginuwine and Usher background: slow and smooth songs. And that's why I really connected to Sam Cooke, because he was just very smooth. It's not like the James Brown types, which is all great stuff, but he was totally set apart from those guys.

I had a chance to see them a couple of weeks ago. They have two outstanding guards and a really nice post player. They're just a sound team, which is typical of the James River District. It should make for a great regional quarterfinal.

In the '60s, you know, you had this -- you'd have, you know, James Brown on the same show with Alan King, and that was -- that made perfect sense, and it still makes perfect sense,

I just told James they paid him the ultimate compliment by paying so much attention to him.

I remember looking at James Joyce's journals. It was just amazing - it looked like ants had written on the page. So much writing on one page, every corner of the page was filled. Some of the lines were underlined in yellow or blue or red. A lot of color, intense writing.

I remember one summer, right after my second album came out, James Taylor was nice enough to allow us to open for him.

I look at Dee as a mentor. He has been telling me when people start running at me I have to utilize the shot fake. Once you knock one or two down you start feeling pretty good about yourself. I just got it going. I'm trying to take the pressure off Dee and James and be a factor out there.

I know he has only one thought in mind, and that is to win football games. Some of the other trappings of being a head coach are just not important to him and I would think that's what they need. That's the way Don James was and the way Jim Owens was. They were top football coaches who developed an esprit de corps and a sense of purpose, and that's what counts.

I know James and me are different players, but I know he is going to go in there and he will play fine. James is a talented guy. He is smart. He is one of those rookies that seems a lot wiser and has a lot more wisdom beyond his years. I think in terms of going out there and playing, I think we will be fine at the strong safety position. He is going to go out there and make plays. He is a tough guy.

I pretty much stick to the movie-based games. I play James Bond games and Minority Report and Spider-Man. I go for the big title hit movie games.

In Valdosta, Ga., during a mini-tour event, a player named James Black bet me $20 he could put five golf balls in his mouth and then close his mouth all the way. I tried it but could get only two in there.

I really can't understand how the Jets let him go like that. We knew how good James was. He's a smart guy, can run fast. I mean, what else do you want?

If you think there might be a chance that you can't play pro tennis ever again, you relish good tennis. You appreciate the times when you play good tennis, ... Right now, James is appreciating his health and his tennis game.

In 2004, the average game buyer was 37 years old and the average game player was 30. Knowing this, our industry creates a wide range of content for a diverse consumer audience, just as other entertainment industries do. And, it's illogical that video games would be treated more harshly than R-rated movies or music CDs with parental warning labels, both of which can be legally viewed and sold to minors. How can you treat a video game based on James Bond any different than a book or movie based on the same subject matter?

I had been encouraged a lot by my parents and my sixth grade teacher, James Doyle at Main Street Elementary School. He was an early supporter of my writing ability.

I think all teams change throughout the year. You go through dips and peaks and valleys. Ours are more accentuated than most it seems. I think our basketball team has changed, and certainly James Madison has changed as well.

I read a quote by James Dean when I was 17; he said, 'I'd rather starve than do a whole bunch of work that I don't care about.' The older I got, the more I understood what he was saying. If I want to do a whole lot of work that I don't care about, then I would probably be working in a law office somewhere.

I plan on being here until they bury me at Raymond James Stadium.

Clearly there is a pattern of deceit, ... He (Brewer) crafted his story to try to imply James Byrd was dead before they started dragging him.

His leadership was invaluable. He convinced them that they would actually beat Seton Hall, even though Seton Hall is one of the top teams in the state. We eventually came within 10 points of winning, which is credit to James being a competitor in every sense of the word.

But I am not sure how much someone would be prepared to pay for James River, rather than buying a private company.

Before we had the Internet, I organized a fax campaign against the first Iraq war. We blasted faxes to the hotel where James Baker and Tariq Aziz were having their final meeting before the two sides went to war. Much more recently, I co-founded Avaaz and Get Up, which inspired the creation of Purpose.

He still loves Moe. Moe, of course, was innocent in all this and had nothing to do with it. We're really happy that St. James is home.

He's the James Bond that drinks a Heineken, not a martini.

He's really going back to his Democratic roots - which is very significant, because it shows where the Republican Party is and where it has moved. And maybe where tens of millions of Reagan Democrats are at. If James Webb is representative to any extent of these Reagan Democrats, which I think he is, I think this can be very significant for the Democratic Party.

Charles and I are from Augusta, Ga. - so we come from James Brown territory, soul music and Motown. And Charles has always had a lot of Southern rock in there as well.

He thinks he'll be up here for about six months, ... When he's here, the dressing on his bandages will need to be changed daily, and we'll have to figure out how we can support him and get James in school. And he still needs to recover from losing Anna and decide what he wants to do ... But we know we're all going to be together and we're going to be OK.

Gale Norton is one of the scariest Cabinet nominees since James Watt. We expect a fierce struggle over the fate of the Endangered Species Act.

George Orwell, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein and almost any writer you could name received rejection letters, ... Margaret Mitchell got rejection letters from 38 different publishers before anyone finally deigned to publish her novel, 'Gone With The Wind.' How many talented writers are there who gave up without ever making it into print because of misguided rejection?

If I could answer a critic, people like James Shapiro in the New York Times say that I extrapolate the life too directly and explicitly from the work,

I can still remember my mum (a voracious, if not discriminating, reader - I have seen everything from the sublime to the ridiculous by her bed, from Ian Rankin and Elmore Leonard to Barbara Cartland and James Patterson) taking me to get my library card when I was four and not yet at school.

I can be playing in front of a smaller group of people and playing the match of my life. At almost 36 years old, I don't take it for granted. That (U.S. Open) match with James Blake was one of the best moments of my career, to be part of something special like that. I hope I have some big moments ahead of me.

I can beat James Toney, and I beat him tonight. If we fight again we will make adjustments and do better.

I decided to go to the London School of Economics to write my thesis for MIT, under James Meade, Nobelist with Bertil Ohlin in 1977.

I challenged James to score more in this conference with a better accuracy from the field.

I challenged James before the game because I didn't think defensively we were effective like we needed to be. Craig gives us a little more weight and then I thought James' athleticism bothered (Williams).

I asked John about that. That was against his starting units and our starting unit. We didn't use (linebacker) James (Harrison) and (wide receiver Antwaan) Randle (El), but the other kids did a pretty good job.

I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.

I do read P.D. James because she pays much more attention to character, to a particular atmosphere or setting. But most mystery writers, I think, are controlled by the plot.

He's one of the best small forwards ever. You could argue he's the best, although I'll bet you James Worthy would probably have a good argument about that. But he's an all-around player. And I consider myself to be an all-around player.

He's matured. James Blake has grown up, not unlike Roger Federer. He's slowed down his mind a little bit. He's playing smarter. He's a little more in control of his game.

I consider his performance to be a miracle, ... I think he's one of the most talented people I've ever met. You know, he's 22 years old. ... He just transformed himself. At times it seemed eerie. It was like cloning or channeling James Dean. There were moments where I thought, 'My God, this is really bizarre.'
