Leg Quotations

Most actors here go to the West Coast; I ended up going to Ireland. My buddies who left drama school, they had this arrogance - 'We don't want to typecast ourselves.' But I said, 'I want to do Irish parts. That's the thing that's gonna give me the leg up.'

I'm a big horror fan, but I don't enjoy a lot of gore and watching somebody cut their leg off for five hours. I like the older movies where it draws you into the suspense, that sort of shock and awe.

If the arm got sore, we went out and pitched until the soreness left - we had to, or we would have been dropped from the team. Nothing short of a broken leg could have kept us out of uniform.

I got what they called a diabetic stroke. Here's what it is, my left hand and my left leg. You know when your leg falls asleep? It's like that constantly. It's not painful, but it's so annoying. My leg is all tingly and my arm is all tingly.

I hate leg exercises. I hate one-legged squats. I hate the hurdles and the split squats. I hate all the leg exercises.

I played football; I was a running back, and I took a hit, and I had a hairline fracture in my leg which no one spotted, and I was playing basketball all winter and it got worse.

My background is in modern dance. I was a dancer and a choreographer before I was a director, and in dance, you can't cheat. Your leg goes up in the air, or it doesn't. So when I direct, I'm a big preparer.

I've got no hamstring in the middle. I'm basically running on two hamstrings on my right leg and three on the other. That injury has probably changed my whole career. I've been compromised from the age of 19.

The leg drop was a move that nobody really used, and nobody ever hit the ropes and jumped up really high, so I tried it out in Japan and the people loved it. That's how I came up with it.

In 1949, I saw a World War II veteran named Lou Brissie, who had nearly lost a lower leg in combat, pitch in the All-Star Game in Brooklyn.

I could cut my leg of; I could cut my arm off. I could gouge my eye out - I'd still probably survive, but not very well, and that's what we're doing to the ocean. It's the life support system of this planet. We've been dumping in it, we've been polluting it, we've been destroying it for decades, and we're essentially maiming ourselves.

My focus had always been the on-side. My coach wanted me to work on the offside strokes since he was convinced of my ability and timing on the leg side. I worked hard and firmed up my defensive technique. I am happy getting runs all around the wicket now, and getting a lot of boundaries. No one calls me a 'leggie batsman' anymore.

How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.

My mother worked full-time running a foundation, but she found all the time in the world to have supper ready every night, feed us shirred eggs on the weekends, and produce a leg of lamb for my fourth-grade Bedouin feast at school.

The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery, there's nothing really magical that I can do that's going to make it better.

My knee is loose, and it's not stable, and that's the way it's going to be from here on out.

The flesh and bone leg is just beautiful. It's elegant. You know, when it's working, it's incredible. But if it's not working, well, you know, your life is certainly far from over.

I still start to get panicky each morning before I go on television. I'll say, 'I'm in awful shape, something is wrong,' and if I start to look like I'm going off the deep end, Jimmy Straka, the stage manager, will say, 'You're all right. Calm down.' Then Bryant Gumbel will grab me by the leg or something.

With a suit, always wear big British shoes, the ones with large welts. There's nothing worse than dainty little Italian jobs at the end of the leg line.

The poultry environment in the first quarter was very challenging with prices for both boneless skin breast meat and leg quarters near historic lows. Given the record amount of poultry in cold storage, we anticipate prices will remain under pressure for at least the next few weeks, if not months.

We utilized his leg strength to kick it over the net because he had that ability, and that assured our defense would be in a situation where the offense would have to go 45 yards to score. Clay is more than capable of backing off a little and putting it into the net. We are working with him now on some things on where we want him to kick it. They want returns as part of the game for the excitement.

We started off well in the second leg and got a goal, which is what we needed. We can't complain about the first part of the game but it all changed when they got a penalty,

Vernell Brown is a tough guy. He has the heart of a lion. To do what he did with a broken leg - to come in and make a game-changing play - I can't say enough about him.

We want him to feel good and be an important part of our team. He told me the other day that he feels he's skating well, and that his leg doesn't hurt. Well that's great news for us. He's dominant in the face-off circle, his brain works all the time; he knows how to play in all situations.

We were hoping to go under eight minutes. Our leadoff leg went 2:04 today; he's usually more of a two-flat, and our second guy, he went 2:06, and he's usually more of a 2:02. Right there that's six seconds that could have put us back in the mix, but when you get out there just never know what's going to happen.

The only person I had any trouble with was Gloria Swanson, and her objections were completely off the wall. She didn't have any legal leg to stand on. And she took me to court, saying that I libeled her. There's absolutely no libel in the chapter on her. She was the mistress of Joe Kennedy.

Lying was a remarkable act of stupidity on Libby's part. He's old enough to know better. He watched Watergate and Iran-contra. To try to pull the leg of the grand jury was really quite remarkable.

Leh has few of what Europeans regard as travelling necessaries. The brick tea which I purchased from a Lhassa trader was disgusting. I afterwards understood that blood is used in making up the blocks. The flour was gritty, and a leg of mutton turned out to be a limb of a goat of much experience.

Leg quarter prices have fallen from a record level of 50 cents a pound last fall to 29 cents a pound today and still seem to be falling. We believe at least some of this is due to consumer concern in the export markets regarding avian influenza.

Losing Kevin Alston affected our game and we had to re-adjust. I feel sorry for the youngster. He has broken his leg but these things happen in football. You have to be able to cope with it.

Leetch was trying to do a slap pass to me and it kind of got away from him, but sometimes you get those lucky breaks. I knew I hadn't made a kicking motion.

She's been suffering from some lower leg issues that really haven't been well-defined -- shin splints and some other muscular issues. It's gonna depend on her mental toughness to determine how far she can take her performances. Spring break will help her to rehab a little. She got off to a good start, though.

Some days I don't have time for a full workout, but I do have to dry my hair, right? So rather than just stand there blow-drying, I do several kinds of leg squats at the same time. I believe in multitasking.

Obviously, we brought him in here to be one of our starters. He has a leg up right now. He's a standup guy. I need him to stand up in the clubhouse. Be who you are.

My doctors and trainers have advised me that my leg needs to fully recover in order for me to play at the level that I'm accustomed to playing.

My uncle had trouble carving the turkey. He complained about the sharpness of the knife. My grandma proceeded to rip the turkey apart with her own hands and throw a leg and breast on everyone's plate and said, 'There, that's Brooklyn style.'

Only the amnesty leg 'worked.' That is, a lot of foreign lawbreakers got full amnesty, and it spurred a lot more mass illegal immigration.

I got injured at the Olympic Trials in 2000. I could not jump. I could not walk on my leg properly. I couldn't bend my knee. I couldn't straighten it.

I didn't notice a dramatic difference. The difference is if his leg is bothering him, he can compensate with his arm. But if he's compensating with his arm, he's not going to last very long. He'll end up not only with a sore leg but a sore shoulder. And Roger is a classic leg-driving pitcher.

I don't feel 100 percent with my leg right now. I want to be ready for the season.

I couldn't sleep for three, four months in the night time. Every half an hour, they come and bang on the door. They kick on my leg shackles, and I had a deep cut.

I felt like I was dragging a big weight behind me because I was dragging that leg along. I knew it wasn't bad because I was still walking and running on it. If it was torn, you're going down, so I knew it wasn't bad. It was very painful and I'm just glad I made it home.

Frank could hit with one leg and one arm, that's how talented he is as a hitter. I've played with a lot of great players and I've played against a lot and he's the best I ever saw. You don't come across special players like that often. You're fortunate if you do.

If any one of us woke up in the morning with our leg feeling the way his does every day, we'd be calling 9-1-1. I don't know how he does it. I guess he's just gotten used to it over the years.
