Kirk Quotations

I was a Valley girl; I hung out, and through a photographer friend. I met Peter Douglas, who was one of Kirk Douglas's kids. He introduced me to Sam Spiegel.

I did my very first film with Kirk in Detective Story when he was the greatest, greatest star in the world. I fell in love with him, had a crush on him then.

The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.

Ultimately, it has been a struggle- but I was in Minneapolis and Austin a couple of weeks ago, sitting in theaters with complete strangers watching this weird movie that Kirk and I thought up and I was excited to be making film.

I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.

I always wanted to be an actor, even when I was a little kid. When I used to run away from home, I'd go to movies and sit all night watching Kirk Douglas. When I was 16, I tried getting into the Actors Studio, and they told me to get lost. I said 'I'll come back when I'm a man,' and I came back when I was 30.

All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.

Captain Kirk never burped out his lines, nor did he simply SPEAK! as IF! Every! Other! SYLlable! WAS! of DIRE! ImPORTance!

I have a fairly limited drawing style. I'm not like my friend Derek Kirk Kim, who can pretty much change his style at will. My drawing style can handle some of my stories, but not all of them.

He was the ultimate team guy. He learned from Kirk and Matt (McCoy) and when it was his turn, he was ready to lead the team and he has good qualities to do it.

He has played well. Kirk is a product of hard work. He knows what that is all about; working hard to get on the football field.

He had a guy that beat him out, and to me that's the bottom line. That's all it's about. If you look at our record with him as a starter and you look at our record with Kirk as a starter, to me that speaks for itself.

He was fiercely loyal to Bill, just as he was to Joe Moore after he came in the following year, ... We only had seven or eight seniors on the team our senior year, but we played good defense and played that tough brand of football that Joe liked. When I listen to Kirk speak, I still hear a lot of the words and phrases that Joe used to tell us.

Kirk is our catalyst, offensively and defensively. When you lose Kirk, you're taking a lot of intangibles, things he brings to the game.

Kirk is capable of hitting the outside shot and he can play some pretty good defense.

Kirk is a very big piece of this team's foundation. He is a great leader for our team both on and off the floor and I am very excited to watch him develop.

Kirk carried us. I had some good looks in the fourth quarter, but the whole game I struggled. But I thought Kirk stepped up, and we followed him.

Kirk came in and was great on the boards. He made shots. He was a good sixth man off the bench. He definitely helped me out (being in foul trouble).

Kirk and Dan are great friends of mine. I do my best to watch the game and not root for either one.

Kirk was outstanding tonight pretty much from beginning to end. Defensively he was as good as he always is and he played with a nice tempo. He didn't really force anything, ran the offense well, penetrated and made a lot of good decision.

Kirk was a good fit for us in Cleveland because of the love he had for the game. He had the commitment to quality and the commitment to teaching that helped him succeed. He had expectations, but he was also fair with his players. His demeanor served him well, and I think that has helped him since he returned to Iowa.

Kirk (Snyder) deserves a shot. Kirk works his butt off every day. He's still out here. Matter of fact, do you see J.R.? (Smith had left.) That pretty much tells it. It's work ethic -- he has to work harder.

Kirk's father was pretty good at it, and now Kirk -- they're the best, ... They give you good advice, and if you bring something back, they don't argue with you. They turn out to be your friends instead of just somebody in a store.

Kirk needs to understand this is going to be a whole lot more physical. They bang you, they push you. It's a whole new ball of wax.

Kirk Kerkorian has not been through the design dome,

I think the guys would like Kirk to get back into a position where he can get us 25 minutes a game.

Our starting pitching wasn't what we thought. (Jason) Schmidt started opening day. Kirk Rueter was the second day. Then (Brett) Tomko, then Lowry. Then the whole picture changed. Rueter's not even here now. Tomko is in the bullpen twice. Lowry is our No. 2, and we don't have a No. 3. We have three children we could throw in any order.

I think origin stories are a great way to get people reinvested in a story. I mean, we originally accepted 'Star Trek' without knowing anything about Kirk or Spock. All we needed to know was that it took place in the future.

Just because Scotty never got the girl, it did not mean he couldn't get a girlfriend, ... He was just too busy saving the ship while Kirk was off on a date.

Kirk Cousins is the future of the Washington Redskins.

I wasn't a 'Star Trek' fan, yet I knew who all the characters were. that goes to show what an impact the show had not just in entertainment but in life. I knew who Chekhov was and I knew who Kirk and Spock were, although I probably had never seen the show.

We were able to get shots close to the basket and got Kirk going.

We're a little bit cautious that David Kirk hasn't been there long and it's a pretty big move.

We'll go with Kirk Clark in the first game. But I don't know who will start in the second game. I think we're still deciding between two or three kids.

Whether it be a Ryan Riddle or a Kirk Morrison or Fabian (Washington) or a Stanford Routt on defense, those guys, we're going to need them.

What Kirk did may have been a surprise to some people, but it wasn't a surprise to me. A lot of people talk about how you can't do this or you can't do that, and I'll listen to it if it's coming from a football coach. If it's somebody in the media, I'm not going to pay a lot of attention to it.

When I work with the youngsters, I try to see them in the way that Wayne Shorter sees me, ... It puts things in order. There is a respect and admiration I feel for people like Wayne or Herbie (Hancock). And there is a respect that people like Kirk (Hammett) feels for me. There is a respect that our children will feel for them also.

We're playing a lot of young guys 30 to 50 plays a game. Kirk Morrison is one of those guys. Sometimes when you play that many young guys, you pay for it. It's cost us in some situations, but it's helping us. We're faster and more athletic. We are improving.

To be honest, I was scared because he had penetrated. Luckily, Kirk and I were both able to prevent him from making the pass. He just threw the ball up and caught it himself.

Boy, Jenny Kirk played a whale of a game, didn't she? I'm not sure where they got the scouting report that she couldn't shoot. We got them out of that triangle pretty quick.

At the end Kirk Albers (Jelly Belly-Pool Gel) put in a huge effort that helped bring it back." ()

There's no doubt in my mind that Kirk is a Great Britain player in the making. He's developing from a follower into a player who leads others. He has great presence and I'm just pleased he's in my team and I don't have to work out ways to stop him.

I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.

It was unbelievable, ... That's probably the loudest I've ever heard it. It was quite loud in '98 when I played with Jack, especially when he made a few birdies on the front nine. It was exciting. If you were watching on television, it must have been good. Kirk made that 1 in front of us on 16 -- I never saw the shot but I heard that roar, and then K.J. on 11, that ball never left the flag. It was great golf.

(Dear kirk hammet, what kind of vegitarian are you? a lactose vegitarian, a ovum vegitarian, or a vegan?) James: Hes an ovum voodoo space vegan.

I told David he makes me look good. I told Kirk (Snyder) to go to the corner, but that David should be able to step back and be open. He stepped up and knocked it down like he's done so many times this season.

Oh my God, he was unbelievable. At one point, I thought he was our best pitcher. Kirk was a big part of keeping us afloat.

It was great to be able to start out with Kirk in New Jersey and then have the opportunity to play again together in Dallas late in our career. I doubt anyone will come along that enjoyed the game of hockey or played with the same passion that Kirk did, he had unbelievable intensity.

The new Kirk Douglas Theater for development of new plays and education in Culver City is an area doing a major redevelopment. We're part of that.

I'm looking forward to meeting Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson.

If you never done it the way Kirk does it, it's hard to explain how hard it is to chase some of the game's best players around two, three, four screens sometimes in the same possession and almost always taller than him, sometimes stronger also, so he does such a good job of it. I thought it wore him down a little bit, but he really responded late in the game. I thought overall it was (one) Kirk's better games.

If he wins, it's a whole new ball game. It's a step up and if we can get in that position, I guarantee we'll be right back in the fold. I thought Kirk Johnson was going to come through for us. He didn't. And if a guy like Peter, with his punching power, can't come through, then we're in trouble. Where would we go? What would we do?

Of course I knew the work of Roland Kirk and Harry Carney and the specific uses they would make of circular breathing, so I knew it was physically possible.

We were basically one and the same, although Jim [Kirk] was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.

My father-in-law, Kirk Douglas, is going to be my research engine,
