Michelle Quotations

I love Chris Crutcher, Sara Zarr, Lois Lowry, Elizabeth Scott, Madeleine L'Engle, Gordon Korman, Michelle Magorian, Heather Bouwman.

I think Michelle Obama is on the right track with her Let's Move campaign to bring down childhood obesity. She and I come from the same state, Illinois, which is number four in the nation for obese children. One out of five Illinois children are considered obese. Not overweight, obese. And two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese.

You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Jackie O was so capable in so many ways. Hillary tried to redefine the role when she got into public policy, and Michelle Obama is able to move smoothly between form and function, style and substance.

Usually, you get to interview that one girl who plays the sister on some Disney show - you interview that girl a lot - but sometimes, every once in a while, you get to interview a legend. I have interviewed some amazingly iconic people, including Michelle Obama, Oprah, Sidney Poitier and Judy Dench. These people are legit icons.

Michelle Obama blows my mind. Form and function, style and grace.

Edie Sedgwick, Debbie Harry, Chloe Sevigny, Michelle Obama, and my friend Eugenie Niarchos each have their own great sense of style.

Look at Michelle Obama. Everyone keeps making a big deal about her arms being exposed, but don't get it twisted: her arms are out for a reason. Black women have had those arms forever - lifting, picking cotton, toting and carrying babies.

I'm riding my man Obama. I think he's a visionary. Actually, Barack told me the first date he took Michelle to was 'Do the Right Thing.' I said, Thank God I made it. Otherwise you would have taken her to 'Soul Man.' Michelle would have been like 'What's wrong with this brother?'

Actions, such as the designation of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, spring from First Lady Michelle Obama's leadership of efforts to end childhood obesity within this generation.

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright would baptize Obama, perform his marriage to Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, baptize their daughters, and draw him into the raucous, restless family of faith that Obama had never known before.

I'd love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask, 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out, but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He's this wonderful, powerful man, but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.

Previous first ladies seemed to feel the need to wear a sort of uniform, whereas Michelle Obama likes fashion and is very comfortable in fashion. She's happy to mix high and low, and she loves emerging designers. That will do nothing but good for our industry.

Right now, as I'm typing this, some liberal somewhere is saying something unforgivable about Michelle Bachmann or Ann Coulter. I condemn you, whoever you are! But I'm not going to conduct a house-to-house search to find you.

I always loved Michelle Kwan's outfits. Most of them were designed by Vera Wang, and they're just so simple, but the fabric that they used and the way that it was sewn together look so elegant and rich. You could tell that time had been put into it. It wasn't just another spandex, stucco-covered costume.

Michelle and I don't want anyone telling us who our family's doctor should be - and no one should decide that for you either. Under our proposals, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period, end of story.

We've tried to have it here. I'd like to know I have the pitching strength. Bethany can move the ball better than the other three. Nichole can pitch really fast. Emily and Michelle are young and they have a lot to learn.

We really had to work her in and out. Michelle Dirks did a great job, got a few rebounds, hit her free throws, a few shots ... Our bench hadn't scored any points in the tournament so far and we challenged those kids today ... They're a huge reason we won this game.

The expectations are very high for them down the road. Kristina is a very good athlete, and Michelle will come around at the plate in time.

When I came on the scene, there was The Nualas, who were doing character comedy, but there weren't any other women doing stand-up because Michelle Read had gone more into theatre.

She's had some great longevity. I think Michelle will represent the U.S. well, if she's healthy.

She is one of the smartest people I know. Michelle loves this community and knows it well. Her knowledge and passion will make us stronger, ... Michelle cares deeply about readers. She wants the newspaper to be indispensable.

She is a great role model for our program because she does well in the classroom and on the field. We are really happy to have Michelle in our program.

She loves Danny and Danny loves Michelle and that's really, truly the bottom line. I know that Michelle and Danny deserve this chance. They're working hard for it.

Mike Price tells Michelle Wie how to cancel SI subscription using toll-free 1-800 number.

One of my favorite stories is from Obama's first campaign: Michelle Obama was out there every day, collecting signatures and supervising the other people who did. If you were supposed to get 300 signatures and you only got 299, you had to face the wrath of Michelle.

I was so upset Michelle doesn't come. I was waiting for her.

I worked with Michelle Yeoh on my last film, 'Far North,' and her partner is Jean Todt; at the time, he ran Ferrari. So I went as a VIP to the British grand prix.

I guess it's every event that Michelle is at, there's an extra buzz. I'm used to it now.

I graduated from public high school. I went to the prom. I did it all. But I also worked on 30-million dollar movies with roller coasters and Michelle Pfeiffer. It's been a very interesting and blessed life for sure.

I don't feel comfortable talking about the specifics of how it all comes together, but the truth is, I don't ever know when Michelle Obama is going to wear my clothes! She, like everyone else, picks her outfits and wears them when she wants - sometimes two or three times. It's not ever calculated.

I felt pretty good even when she got past Savannah because Michelle and Elizabeth and (goalie) were where they were supposed to be. (Roach) just made a nice play.

Having Michelle out there who's gone on to play at a higher level will help those girls maybe thinking they want to go on (to play in college). I think the three of us want to see the program succeed.

There aren't numbers I can compare there, just relationships. The committee felt Michelle probably had a better chance of winning a medal. The mission of the international committee is to win medals.

I would think that being up here three times in the last four years now would be an advantage because our girls know what to expect. Our girls have had success in this building. Michelle (Mabry) shot the ball very well here last year and so this is also an advantage.

Kelly is a really smart player. I'd say she's our best puck- handler on the team, and she's starting to clean stuff up and get in front of the net. Even though she's a freshman, we look to her to do some damage ? she's really important to our offense. Obviously Michelle (Bolduc) is our power forward and our big gun, but other people are going to be keying on her as we move into the playoffs and we need big games from other girls.

Josh is very down-to-earth, charming, talented, gorgeous and smart. He's definately one of my favorite people.""- Michelle Williams

I think it's always tough coming back from an injury, physically and mentally. But Michelle has proven herself in different situations and she's a tough competitor.

I thought Heath had broken my nose while we were filming that scene. Both Michelle and Ang kept insisting the kiss had to be more fierce, more intense, more passionate, so Heath pushed me against the wall and came in really hard for the kiss.

I think the feeling is she should go. Why wouldn't you send someone of that caliber to the Olympics? It's Michelle Kwan. She's a legend. This is someone America loves.

I think what will happen is if she's not ready she even said this if she's not 100 percent, she said she will take herself off the team. I believe the quality athlete, quality person Michelle Kwan is, I think she would do exactly that.

I think that when Michelle Pfeiffer goes out, she's exactly what I aspire to be - she always looks beautiful and sexy, but she never looks like she's trying to be the center of attention.

I think that it was fair that Michelle had all the opportunities to be named to the Olympic team.

I want to thank Michelle for this very generous contribution to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, ... There are many people in the Gulf region who are in need and who will benefit from Michelle's extraordinary generosity. She's truly an inspiration on and off the course.

I went to her interview before the Women's British Open, and I couldn't believe how full the room was. It was overflowing. When Annika went in there, it was 25% full. The buzz for Michelle was amazing.

Sports Illustrated looks for models with the perfect combination of beauty, athleticism and personality for the swimsuit issue. Michelle perfectly embodies what the issue has always been about.

Looking at the Obamas, they have a lot to manage with their children and having Michelle go out and have everybody comment on what she was wearing, what it means. I think you have to create a pretty large private world to live in.

Look at what strength training did for Annika (Sorenstam). Michelle tended to shy away from it. But once we pointed out the benefits, it's a full program she has to work on. When you've got the talent she has, it's a matter of getting your ducks in a row. She's game for it. She's starting to enjoy it.

I was very excited for Melissa Fuller. She's been working really hard. I haven't put her in the 100 free as much as she would like, so she was excited and definitely proved that she deserves to be in the 100 free. Michelle McCarty swam the 500 for only the second time for the high school team. She begged me not to put her in it, but she followed everything I told her to do and she just gave it her all and was able to make it.

It felt a little empty with her not here. Michelle has always been a big part of the event. I miss competing with her. It really doesn't feel like the Nationals.

It doesn't bother me. I think it's great we're getting more attention. If I couldn't get the attention, I'm glad Michelle can get it. I'm just happy to be a part of it. I know what I've achieved. I know the records that I have set, and nobody can take those away.

I think Michelle will make (the cut) and I think she'll do it dramatically.

I think Michelle is a great asset to the LPGA Tour and great for golf,

I'm still working with Michelle to get her to the point she cleans her room weekly. And washing dishes - if I don't remind her, it won't get done. It doesn't seem like important stuff but when you add them all up, it's a lot.

The 20 grand Window really caught the imagination of the public and once Gerry and Michelle were chosen as the contesting couple reaction was absolutely huge.

The argument, of course, is that Michelle is not learning to win, but I don't buy that. When you are a pioneer and you take chances, people expect less in terms of performance. Style becomes more important than substance. You can not always succeed as a pioneer and still be hailed.

I was proud of myself for what I overcame with being sick this week. But it definitely would mean more with Michelle here. She's won so many titles in the past, and I was always second, but I'm not complaining about this title.

I would love to speak with First Lady Michelle Obama about the addictive component of obesity.

Michelle was awesome again. It is tough when she is in foul trouble, but I thought we played well for most of the night.

Michelle wanted to hang back and let the Season One guys be in the limelight.

Michelle threw the ball well, and showed she'll be another good addition to our young staff. We're fortunate to have a lot of depth on the pitching staff, and we wanted to mix her in with the rest of the bunch.

Michelle's had to be patient. The girls on this team like to play. Michelle does, too. But she knows there's a place to be serious.

Michelle really likes to chat with me, but she is so busy these days. She likes to share the good things and bad things with me,

Michelle ... reaffirmed her status as a member of the 2006 Olympic team. Not every element was performed perfectly, but they were all done at a very high level.

Michelle played very well during the key points in her match today,

Michelle picked up on every beat in the story. She's from Montana, she has that background; there are things she grasps intuitively. The phrase 'still waters run deep' completely applies to her.

Michelle Obama is a major asset for the president.

Michelle Obama has gone from political skeptic to political partner to a woman with a White House agenda of her own, and an approval rating higher than the president's.

Michelle Kwan will show up in name recognition surveys well before a snow boarder. But if your target market is Gen Y, then action sports and snowboarding is a much more direct and credible way to reach those kids.

Michelle Kwan's story is a little bit sad and she's not a winner, she's a loser.

Michelle is very, very talented, ... She is a great asset to golf. I welcome her. The bottom line is, I'm a competitor. I will have my game do the talking. I think it has for the last 10 years, and I will continue to do it that way.

Michelle is probably the best high school player I've seen in 30 years. It wasn't one of our best games. It wasn't one of our worst, but you've got to play nearly perfect to beat Mountain View. We played hard, but we just couldn't get it done.

Michelle is one of the finest young women I have ever been associated with, both on and off the court.

Michelle is like a violin, a finely turned instrument. Fencing is a combat sport and she is so powerful.

Michelle is good for golf, just as Tiger was good for golf. There are a lot of people who may not follow golf otherwise, but tune in when you've got Michelle or Tiger out there.

Michelle is a very talented Irish dancer. Chris Foster has the same influences as mine. He's mostly interested in 1960s rock n' roll. The youngest member of the band is not yet 30 and the oldest is approaching 50, so we have a broad range of musical experience. We all bring those different influences in when we play.

Michelle is a steady golfer, who works hard at it.

Michelle is an excellent 3-point shooter, as she demonstrated this past season at Western Nebraska where she shot 39.7 percent from behind the arc. Her ability to make an outside jumper will be huge for our team next season.

Michelle is a four-year player who in the past has also played soccer and softball.

Michelle has to take the front seat tonight. She led our team up and down the floor tonight.

Michelle has had to grapple with Hilary Clinton's legacy as First Lady... Michelle Obama never wants to be seen as the kind of First Lady who is overly involved in the West Wing.

Michelle has done so much for the sport and been a champion so many years, I'm guessing they will give her a spot on the Olympic team. It's important for the rest of us just to focus on our own skating.

Michelle has always demonstrated good character and there has never been a complaint against her from any of my clients. If anything, people were saying she was too committed to her job and put the needs of the family before her own needs.

Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution.

Michelle could win the Olympics, she is definitely qualified to win a medal. We really do believe that. She's skating very well. Not every element was performed perfectly, but they were at a high level. We weren't really keeping score. We were looking for her competitive fitness. She did a triple lutz-double toe combination several times.

Michelle came along at exactly the right time, financially. Because our rules changed, she was able to continue in sanctioned competitions without making a major financial sacrifice. I think you may see more long Olympic careers like Michelle's, but hers will always be unique.

Michelle brings a passion for the newspaper business combined with a real interest in helping the communities we serve, ... She has a thorough knowledge of the market and is prepared to lead this newspaper for years to come. I am very pleased Michelle will be running Palm Springs.

Michelle and I ... were planning, at some point, to adopt and have our own kids. We were not bound by any existing family situation, and we saw we'd have an opportunity.

Well, one doesn't try to hold Cass and Denny and Michelle together. It's a useless task to start with. You just sort of stay out of the way and let things roll as they can.

Tiger is the only one I can think of. Maybe because this is the LPGA, it seems like it's been more about Michelle than Tiger.

You know what? I like Michelle very much. Whatever happens, I think it's wonderful. I just want Emily to skate the best she can. What it is is what it is. I know we've done whatever we can.

You know, I'm uh not very good. I might have a few tips for Michelle about how to model a watch, and hopefully she could give me a few golf tips.

We had excellent pitching in every game. Michelle was really throwing hard down there and just blowing the ball past people. Elizabeth has such great location and so much experience, she just knows how to handle the situation. Brooke came in and did a nice job for us several times. About the only thing she was lacking was maturity, but she did very well and gave us a dependable extra arm when we needed it.

We are relieved for the family, for Steve and Michelle and this entire neighborhood. We're relieved for everyone.

We had a possible play set for our two guards to come in from the 3-point line, and actually I told Holly and Shannon (Daley) that if the ball was soft, they were going to try to tip it right back to Michelle at the foul line. I really would have liked our chances if we had gotten it into overtime.

We knew we had to take her out of the game. We told Michelle to make her (DeLuca) work all the way and play in front of her.

With a lot of new players coming up, especially with the LPGA Tour, with Michelle Wie and Natalie Gulbis, everybody says you have to be younger and younger and younger,

Without Michelle we needed to have flawless runs from everyone to stand a chance against North Andover. The conditions were inconsistent, wet-packed for the early racers and dry later in the afternoon.

We will cheer Emily on enthusiastically, but my heart hurts for Michelle Kwan.

Both teams are competing at a much higher level this year. Ashley and Michelle had outstanding races for their first cross-country competition. Josh's time and second-place finish set the bar high in his first outing.
