La Quotations

I consider Billy Keeler, Mike Tiernan, Ed Delihanty and Larrie La Joie the toughest hitters I had to pitch to, but I did not dread them. Remember, Hughie Duffy was a member of our team, so I did not face him. In my opinion, Duffy was the greatest hitter.

Tiles, the best furniture, fabrics, bath fixtures, bronze - just leaf through any design magazine and you immediately understand they're all 'Made in Italy.' We have the premier opera house in the world, La Scala, and behind the Nobel given to CERN is the research of many Italians.

For the first time I go to La Scala, for each thing, for each rehearsal, my knees were shaking. But the audience was very fine with me.

We realized that Elite has the potential to really add value to a company like La Perla, due to its relationship to the fashion business, links to music, to entertainment, all of this tends to point more and more to the luxury consumer. The fashion world is one where Italy has clear excellence. I see the potential with it very clearly.

I never, never thought one day I will sing at La Scala or I will get the Grammy. I'm lucky. I work a lot with a teacher, with my coach.

There are bands that I am friends with, who will invite me up on stage. Like Les Savy Fav, who have had me on stage, and I have played on their record. There are a couple of bands like that. Yo La Tango has invited me to play with them.

I don't really listen to the radio anymore, but some of the more contemporary people I like are Stereolab, Spiritualize, Yo La Tengo and Bedhead. There are other things too, like Pavement. They're a great band, with really good lyrics. But generally, I'm not overwhelmed by the state of indie-rock.

You can't just take an image and randomly distort it and call it art - although many people in La Jolla where I come from do precisely that.

All my pupils are the creme de la creme. Give me a girl of an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.

I grew up in Los Angeles, and I was always fascinated by the La Brea Tar Pits. Right in the middle of the city, in an area called the Miracle Mile, for crying out loud, we have these eldritch ponds of dark, bubbling goo. And down in the muck, there're all these amazing fossils: mammoth and saber tooth cat and dire wolf.

I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with. Wherever I go, La Castellane is where I want to go back to.

La Mancha is a very macho, chauvinistic society. I saw very clearly that my life had to be in Madrid, and I liberated myself from my mum and dad after high school.

We will spend more time in America, we're going to get a place in LA as hotels aren't great for the baby.

Eating outdoors is a particular passion - that is, eating trestle-table a la nicoise.

I tried my best to ensure I kept the respect for the middleweight division in the tradition of Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake La Motta.

Fortunately we've been shooting in North Carolina which means we're not in LA where you can hear people talking about you and you know so much about what's going on in the business.

The only time I ever really got into rap was back in the early '90s, and bands like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Gang Starr. Musically, they were really interesting. But when hip-hop acts start sampling Sting or Phil Collins, then I just don't get it at all.

Into La Bombonera danced the most agile, rhythmic, beautiful, sensuous people I have ever seen. And that was just the fans.

So what I'm trying to say is from a musical aspect for anybody to say that whatever they're doing in Florida is not Hip Hop or whatever they're doing in LA is not Hip Hop, who are these people to say that?

If my skin is feeling a little dry, I use La Mer face cream. I also love their Eye Concentrate. It goes on with this little metal ball thing that's very refreshing.

The best thing about my apartment is that it looks over Oscar de la Renta and all the shops.

I've always loved children's clothes - my grandmother actually owned a children's boutique in La Jolla, CA, for 30 years. I grew up visiting her and working in her store, and then my mom and I had a children's boutique together for five or six years.

I've conducted the Boston Pops! Imagine that! Me! Maya Angelou! I've sang and danced at La Scala!

We appreciate the tremendous support and generosity from La Petite Academy's children, parents and associates, which has enabled us to grant the heartfelt wishes of nearly 400 children nationwide so far. With Gary leading the way, I believe without a doubt that La Petite Academy will reach its truly impressive goal.

When we go to the field, it's often like what we did at the La Conchita mudslide ... It's to take advantage of some of the down cycles that the rescuers have.

This was a star-studded event. We had cats flying in from LA and all over just to be there. We had over 10,000 people there, it was amazing,

What well be trying to do against La Villa will be perfection. We want to perfect our plays and play perfect on defense. Thats our challenge this week.

We've skied at La Crosse already, and that was a nice, no-pressure meet. We got the kids on the hill, and we came out real well in the invite. It helped us to ski our meet.

When I'm home in L.A., I go to La Brea, a bakery which does artisan breads, excellent sourdoughs primarily, but also patisserie and cakes.

The process was so graceful; I was lucky to have such a wonderful team. I created the score in the most easy and fun collaboration I think I've ever had. We were blessed to have the A-list of LA players with us. They brought the score to the next level for sure...as they are so apt to do. I'm grateful for the opportunity to create this score, and so glad I had the chance to work with everyone at Radical and at Vivendi-Universal Games.

We had a very hard time defending La Salle. We emphasize our offense so much, maybe we're not spending enough time on defense. We want to get back to being one of the better defensive teams and shut people down.

When there's no snow in town, it's harder to get people here. But the people coming out to the ski area are really surprised at how much snow we have out here. It looks like winter when you get to Mount La Crosse.

She still loves La Jolla very, very much. She had been used to the heat of New Orleans for so many years, and she found La Jolla cold.

She's (De La Torre) added another weapon to our offense. She kind of came in and took the job.

She's like a pop star. She said she lives in LA now, and I'm thinking, 'Where, Hollywood?' But all this attention is great for the tour.

Some consumers start with a la carte, then learn about the benefits of subscription and switch. We believe that many consumers will choose their services based on the device they choose.

She had been used to the heat of New Orleans for so many years, and she found La Jolla cold.

Since I came here, I always gave La Salle respect. Coming up through the ranks, they didn't get a lot of respect. They're a real hungry team, and they've always been that way. They've obviously been through some changes, but I give them respect. Those guys play hard.

She (Olivo) called me the day before she left (for La Academia USA). She was so excited and her enthusiasm was contagious.

MPEG LA and patent holders are just as eager to see this standard succeed as everyone else. We just need to make sure that licensees pay their fair share.

Of course I watch 'Life with La Toya' on OWN.

Now, you can put incense in a bottle and open a door and call it a spa. But back then La Costa had no competition. It had a mystique.

New York and LA are both great places to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in either of them now. I find New York extremely claustrophobic and dirty. LA is quite a nice place. But there's no hustle and bustle, no street life.

One of the biggest reasons why text messaging is soaring is lower cost. It used to be that you would have to pay a la carte. Every carrier now offers text messaging packages. Some start as low as $2.99.

I grew up in a very loving two-parent household in the middle of one of the worst ghettos in New York City, ... I didn't know I lived in the ghetto until I was like 20, 19. I came to LA with Eddie Murphy and stayed at hotels and all this stuff. When I got back and I saw what my neighborhood looked like, I started getting scared. I just thought everybody lived around abandoned buildings and had crack heads.

If they take the decision to sack La Volpe, I will pull out of the World Cup,

I'd like to think if I'm a decent person, I'm just carrying over what he (did). He was a wonderful man. Everybody felt that way about him. As soon as I walked in there, I could feel it, the love everybody (at La Salle) had for him. We all have the feeling he's looking down on us.

I cut my two cheeseburgers and pie a la mode to one cheeseburger.

I am putting old heads on your young shoulders...all my pupils are the creme de la creme.

But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.

I have a nice life here. I can concentrate on my work. If I lived in LA or New York, I'd need a full-time job just to cover the cost of living. I don't need to do that here.

I give La Plata a lot of credit. They came out and out-played us early on. We looked a tad fatigued, but we convinced them we had to turn it up a notch. By doing that on defense, we were able to create some offense.

I found a red Oscar de la Renta raincoat, and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

If one wants to go on living, one must evolve. Before, when we composed, we would start by a series of music themes. Once created, we would hire writers and lyricists to make up the text and the story line. I was the first to do this backwards with 'Man of La Mancha.'

Great things have happened under his leadership in La Vista, ... The name Any Anderson is well-known throughout the state of Nebraska. I would wish him well and I would say that I salute him. Have the rest of your life for your wife and grandkids.

Give La Salle credit. We knew they had a great pass-rusher in Martin, who is everything they said he was and more, and also in their two outside linebackers. They just came at us all day.

I enjoyed everything slowing down. It is a more intensified existence. ... Of course, I wasn't working, so I was able to indulge in a more intensified existence. It was la bella vita.

I don't think people realize the role that La Costa played in the history of the PGA Tour. It really was at the forefront of professional golf being a venue and what that offered.

I got back to La Crosse, I think it was December, and it was ice cold. So, I moved down to Albuquerque, N.M., and got a job there at a pharmaceutical company.

He now seems to be moderating his view on foreign investors generally. He has met with the La Paz and Santa Cruz business sectors and given signs that he will respect private property.

There is a feeling that this is too long, and possibly eight tournaments are a bit too much. While there are three key tournaments in the series - ours, Dubai and Wellington - the IRB will need to raise the profile of the others. This meeting in LA will decide what the future is going to be.

Going up against La Salle is like an exam we have to pass. We'll study hard and be prepared on Sunday.

goes a long way to allowing us to demonstrate that many, if not most, Site Q monuments were looted from La Corona.

Historically, a La Nina that forms in spring has a tendency for most of Illinois to be dry.

Hurricane Carla, it was kind of like Katrina, and I'm from La Grange originally, and it came all the way up into there and I remember that from being little so it's not the first time. I'm aware of what weather can do.

I always enjoyed La Costa. I had some great times there. It was kind of funny, because La Costa sat right on the heels of the Masters and I'd say to my wife, 'I really don't want to go out and play this week; I'm tired.' And Barbara would say, 'You get out of this house and get out there and play.' And she'd kick me out and make me go out there, and rightfully so, because I always had good preparation for the Masters and it carried over many times into the Tournament of Champions.

He was a huge key in this game. Given La Salle's size, we knew our defensive post play would be critical and Landon stepped up and played a strong game.

He'd definitely do it if he could get a fight with De La Hoya and he'd probably do it if he got a fight with (Floyd) Mayweather, but that's about it.

I wouldn't personally ascribe any of the weather we've seen to the weak La Nina.

I suspect that they'll put Channelview in and take La Porte out. That's the logical thing to do.

I think it's more like a mutual respect now. Whenever I see John, whether it's playing pickup ball at Saint Joe's or La Salle, or working out in the summer, I always like to catch up and see how everything's going. Once you get to the NBA, you lose that heated rivalry. We both made it.

I think the entire project ? Three Rivers Plaza including Festival Foods ? is a tremendous addition to the entire city and especially for the entrance into historic downtown La Crosse.

La Scala is easily one of the top 10 symbols of Italy's cultural excellence. That makes it vital to our global image. Closing it would send a message to the rest of the world that Italy doesn't care.

LA can be a very open and accepting creative environment. But it is important, because there is this odd separation here, it is important to make your kids mindful of other people and other people's plight.

La monte's idea was just to have this one big form that were just long tones, I think that was the real essential heart of minimalist music.

La La Land -- that's where libraries are supposed to take us.

LA is a toilet. That dog and pony show.

La Fiesta really pays attention to the customer experience. We try to train our employees well, buy the best products, maintain a clean restaurant and hopefully keep a good atmosphere for the client.

La vida loca, that's my life right now. I'm going through an adrenaline rush that my career is giving me at the moment, and it is pretty intense.

I was always inspired by restaurants like La Tulipe in Manhattan. You'd walk right by and say, 'Oh what a lovely house.' You didn't realize there was a restaurant behind the door.

La Salle will be tough again and it will be interesting to see how Charlotte does because they have a solid team, including one outstanding individual, ... I believe it will be between the three of us, but one of our goals is to win the championship.

La Salle gave a great effort. But, obviously we gave a very marginal effort. We definitely can play better.

La Nina is building in the Pacific Ocean, which is a signal for cool, damp springs.

Ironically, only ten months prior to this sentencing, Roscoe Tanner and I sat down for an interview at the beautiful La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in Southern California. This is the last public interview given by Roscoe Tanner. From an editorial perspective, this interview is something we at RadioTennis.com are quite proud of. Only Sports Illustrated Magazine, Tennis Week Magazine and RadioTennis.com have attempted to document the life and times of this former athlete. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, this interview continues to gain international interest.

Over the past decade we have improved the forecasting of La Nina and El Nino so that we can now predict these events and their expected climatic impacts on different regions with 70 to 80 percent accuracy a year before they occur,

Our waiver moved more kids to the lunch program, reduced the number of kids who were eating a la carte, and increased the number of kids who were eating healthier snacks and beverages.

Outside of my parents, what I learned at De La Salle has influenced me the most in my life. Obviously, there's a huge emotional impact.

Reinforces the notion that she's not in charge and LA (Louisiana) needs to be federalized.

Look at music: I've always loved hiphop and rap, and now there's this whole progressive movement, with De La Soul and Mos Def, Common. It's some of the best stuff around.

Living in LA would be like unrolling my swag in the office. I just don't think it would be healthy, mate.

It felt like were on defense the whole time. We were a step slow today, and you can't do that against a team like La Costa and expect to win.

I think of LA as my American urban experience, London as my European urban experience, and Santa Fe as my country escape.

It doesn't matter as far as the foreign policy goes. But, it matters for the message for the troops, this is all about them. Whether we believe in the job they're doing over there or whether we don't believe the job they're doing over there, and at this point I'm very disappointed that the City of La Crosse is going toward that they don't believe in the job the troops are doing.

Man, LA was crazy. But Rees was a great role model. He didn't smoke, drink or get high. And, at the age of 21 or so, we were very impressionable. So we adopted that lifestyle and work ethic and here we are, still in the game.

The arguments in favor of it have a clear political appeal. So cable is taking a la carte very seriously.

The answer to that immediately is no, not at this time. If we could figure out a cost-effective way to offer a la carte channels, we would do it.

That's the kind of defensive effort we need for De La Salle. They certainly showed tonight that they are more than capable of playing at that level.

When the ball doesn't go in the basket, you start hoping you can get out of town under the cloak of darkness. Confidence has dwindled here. We'll see whether the second half against La Salle has energized and picked up their emotional level. We've put ourselves in a precarious situation in terms of the league.

We have Oktoberfest at La Crosse this weekend, ... That's an open special event that they have every year. It's a 100-lap, straight-rail car race on Sunday. We'll be in that race.
