Sarah Quotations

When I was a little girl at school, I really wanted to be Katie or Sarah or Sophie. When you're a little girl at school, you want to be like the other little girls.

It would be absurd for me to diagnose Sarah Palin with a sprained ankle, let alone any sort of mental illness.

I'd vote for Mickey Mouse before I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

I cried most days working on the first draft. The last scenes were the hardest. I had a feeling where I wanted to end - the exact note - but I couldn't see how to get there. Sarah Murphy, my editor, asked the right questions to help me. I think of 'The Bear' as a hopeful book.

I didn't learn much about writing at Sarah Lawrence, but I learned a lot about the sources of poems - dreams, myth, history - from the really great teachers, Joseph Campbell, Charles Trinkhaus, Bert Loewenberg, and a young Australian anthropologist named Harry Hawthorne.

In 'The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow,' part of the 'Dear America' series, I took my childhood bravery and stubbornness and put that at the core of the Navajo girl, Sarah Nita. It helped me to identify with her survival and to write about her courageous journey and that of her people.

Sarah will talk to me about someone and I don't know who she's talking about, but if she talks to my mother, the two of them will know exactly - and across several generations, too.

Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence.

I have a dear friend here in Toronto, Sarah Millman, who has helped me a lot as a stylist.

Sarah is very strong. She's really intelligent and she's very physically capable. I like to put that into my own life as well.

I read 'Game Change.' If you want to relive the campaign, that book is unbelievable. It's great. It's the book of that campaign. It brought all the memories back of everything with Clinton and Obama, and Sarah Palin and McCain, and choosing her, and John Edwards. It was an interesting book.

I didn't have a special secret about Sarah Palin. I just had a feeling and some concerns. Her blank stares and her lashing out in some interviews, I think, gave voters pause about her, too.

John McCain knows as well as anyone that Sarah Palin has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. I'm sorry, it's got nothing to do with the fact that she wears skirts - she's grossly unqualified.

I wasn't the only one that saw Sarah Palin vacillate between glorious highs on the campaign trail - and, you know, while she was speaking and at the convention - to really troubling lows when she seemed stumped in interviews.

I knew that the show was coming and they wanted me to have a co-host. And so I asked Mary Hart and she was one of the first. Before that it was Sarah Purcell then Cindy Garvey. Then Mary Hart, then Cindy Garvey again here in New York, then Anne Abernathy and then Kathy Lee, who stayed 15 years. And now Kelly has been there eight.

Even though I don't agree with either Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann on virtually anything, I do think the unique scrutiny - because of their gender and highlighting the potential conflict between them is a product of the media's desire for juicy storylines. I think it's inappropriate.

My husband saw me go through the 2008 campaign cycle. We did it together for Sarah Palin and John McCain. It ended disastrously, and afterward I really wanted to do something different, so I started writing novels, and I imagined a fictional female president in my head.

One thing about writing 'The Sarah Silverman Program' was the concern that I don't give myself the best story, you know what I mean?

I first saw 'The Dinner Party' in 2007 at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. While perusing the Heritage Panels, which honor 999 women who have made important contributions to Western history, I came upon the names of two sisters, Sarah and Angelina Grimke.

So the tough questions that have been asked of Sarah Palin thus far just have been about the fact that she doesn't know anything and isn't ready to be vice president. That's fair game and it has nothing to do with her gender.

Quincy Jones' autobiography 'Q' is very good. Because he's a master at music, he's one of our greatest composers, and its good for him to have a book and tell the good ole days when he was with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan and Ray Charles.

I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don't think, I think it's much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.

My view of Sarah Palin is she is the most dynamic figure maybe in politics, even more in some ways than President Obama, who is a little more scripted than she is. He is great with the teleprompter.

I knew from reading about Sarah Grimke that she'd been given a handmaid to be her personal slave and that her name was Hetty. The only other fact I knew about her was that Sarah taught her to read: They conspired in a very subversive way, by locking the door and screening the keyhole.

A few words about Sarah Palin: She is one of the most fascinating women I have ever met. She crackles with energy like a live electrical wire and on first meeting gets about three inches from your face.

I do have to give it up for Sarah Palin on one account. She is brave.

For Sarah Palin, the least experienced on the world stage, the stress of maintaining the fiction that she was qualified to be vice president sent her over the deep end almost immediately. She went off on a ferocious spending spree that might have killed a lesser woman. Katie Couric's straightforward questions unraveled her.

At Sarah Lawrence, I realized that everybody was already what they were going to be. The painters were painting, the writers writing, the dancers dancing. And nobody wore any makeup. The art was uppermost.

Sarah Palin is brilliant. She is a media magnet and a media magnate. She creates headlines and draws crowds wherever she goes, whether it's 98 degrees in the desert of Arizona or below freezing in the snow of Wisconsin.

When I was at 'SNL,' I would constantly get in arguments, 'Why aren't we more political? We're not going after Bush.' Then look what happened - that Sarah Palin season, they were on fire. It was about something.

We struggled to put Sarah through college so that she could become a certified X-ray technician. But we are not big spenders and have almost no personal debt. It's all in the farm.

There are certainly some artists in New York that I would love to work with. One is Sarah Michelson.

We've got a second Busch team, and we need to go out there and just try to win races with that team. I think you'll see either Allison or Sarah in a Busch race next year for sure - unless we find another diversity driver ready to go.

We've got a nice pack developing; we've just got to get them a little faster. I think we'll be pretty competitive by the regional. We're real excited about Sarah and Mary.

We were trying to think after the game Sarah may have accounted for all but two of our points with assists or whatever. If she isn't the best player in the state (of West Virginia), then I don't know who is.

The one thing the Victorians really believed in was philanthropy. I think we've forgotten the obligation to be philanthropic. I think we need smaller government, but I want to make it clear I'm not the Sarah Palin of the Cotswolds.

When I looked further into my mother's history, I realised that her anxieties and her neuroses could be accounted for by facts from a very early age. Her parents, William Henry Jones and Sarah Emily, were desperately poor.

Libertyville has triple-teamed Sarah in the past, but we didn't do a very good job (on Monday) getting anyone open for Sarah to pass to on the backside. We didn't do a very good job of executing our offense.

She's everything you can't put on a stat sheet. I'd rather have a Sarah than girls who have that lucky touch. Her hustle and work ethic is infectious. It's that heart muscle. She's our quintessential leader by example.

She's already tournament savvy. Players like Susan and Sarah and (current junior) Rachael (Johnson) had the same talent level at the beginning of their freshman years, but she has some experience behind her, too, so she's probably a step ahead. So she may be better, which is a huge compliment to her.

She can shoot. Sarah likes to distribute the ball and get other people to do. But when she's open, she can drive and has the pull up ability. I'm glad she got to show that today.

She had been talking about wanting to (participate in a talent show) for a long time. When we heard the advertisement, Kelly said, 'that's a sign. We're going.' (Hillary) didn't have any music. She didn't have any preparation, (but she stood up and sang 'Angel' by Sarah McLachlan), and they said they wanted to hear some more.

Most people would expect Sarah to perform well whenever because she is such a professional, but her results and her training have been going excellently.

One of Midway's core in-game advertising strategies is to infuse our games with cultural context through the integration of static in-game product placements. We believe static promotions in conjunction with dynamic advertising will represent an attractive revenue opportunity for Midway. Sarah is arguably one of our industry's most experienced professionals in this emerging field, and we anticipate that she will manage the process for static ads as well as dynamic in-game ads with Double Fusion in an effort to maximize incremental revenue from our top titles.

Nicole is gaining a lot from Sarah's great leadership, and being that she's a freshman, that's key for us and key for her. She reminds me a lot of Sarah when Sarah was a freshman. Like Sarah, she has a great work ethic. And the team has a lot of confidence in her when she's on the mound.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and regularly, my parents would take us to the Holiday House Supper Club to see acts like Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Ben Vereen, Freda Payne, Stephanie Mills, and The Temptations, to name a few.

Carlson is a nice player ... we've really got to concentrate on her. I think Sarah is smart enough and quick enough to guard her.

Cause I was such a novice and thank God that Sarah was as seasoned as she was because she was really a great leader in that regard in the sense that she would communicate really well with the crew.

I'm at a very different age. I'm no longer building my career as Sarah Jessica is. I've got it. And they can't take it away from me.

I have a lot of respect for Sarah and Lyn (St. James). I think we all look at each other as competitors, if we were driving against each other.

I had whispered in her ear (earlier) that if you get the ball to take the shot. She missed the first one but the second one, that?s what kind of kid Sarah Brown is, she has no conscience. The second one, bang for a three and the game-winner.

I felt like we could utilize our inside game. I thought Sarah Elliott played a beautiful first half. She knocked down some shots and had a nice touch around the glass.

I can't speak for all the puppets in my show but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't looking forward to my spring Broadway debut, but we are all very excited to be playing the Hayes immediately after Sarah Jones' successful run there.

For Sarah to be able to have the time she did was wonderful.

I don't think I can have Sarah now. But the other girls, yeah, definitely.

I don't usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this 'hopey changey stuff,' she was right: there was nothing there.

Whatever part I'm playing, I always carry with me something that's been used by an illustrious predecessor. I'm a great believer in a touching of hands. I have daggers belonging to Henry Irving and Sarah Siddons.

Hasty Pudding is no small potatoes (sorry to mix the food references), known for its famous alumni and much-hyped annual awards ceremonies. One year Mel Gibson recited Hamlet and escaped from a straitjacket. Tom Cruise has strutted in a bra and stilettos. This year Sarah Jessica Parker gets the prize. A recent ... episode was about money woes. I wonder if there will be any jokes about dough this time!

This was a good win especially because it was on the road in the SEC. Our seniors really stepped up big and exhibited great leadership, namely Sarah Lowe at the point position.

I was actually in the midst of breakfast, and Angela Tarantino, who does publicity at HBO, called me -- very excited, shrieking into the phone. It was very nice. ... 'Sex and the City' won last year, which was so exciting, but Sarah and I weren't out there because we are doing plays in New York. So you can be sure we will be there this year with bells on this time around.

I was absolutely just exhausted. That night Eugene talked a lot about the Gary murders and not a lot about the Sarah Paulsen murder.

I was a little punk rocker and was pregnant with Sarah when I went to university. I had her in the Christmas holidays of the first term. It was 1979, and UCL was very proud of its reputation as a liberal university, so they were very helpful.

Over the past 36 years, Doris and Don Fisher have cultivated a spirit of volunteerism and social responsibility that's still very much a part of our company's culture today, ... I'm pleased to award Sarah and Sal with this award. Their passion and dedication to their communities demonstrate the difference one person can make.

Our team did a very good job of finding Danielle and our seniors showed great leadership down the stretch. Sarah Lowe did a tremendous job of finding Danielle and then after she hit one, did a good job of finding her again. That strategy of going to and finding the hot hand worked. Danielle had the guts to step up and want to win the game. She wasn't tentative or hesitant and played like a senior.

Our routine is, we all bring a load up from the car in sleds and Sarah starts a fire.

Our full attention with Sarah now shifts to qualification for and then competition in the Commonwealth Games.

Our blocking was phenomenal. Andrea Mitchell and Sarah Payne, my setters, also played with a lot of intensity.

Red gives one energy, so the combination of the red and brown in this dress is giving Sarah the energy to keep her busy schedule. It's also nurturing and supporting, so she doesn't get off balance. While we could say that it is a color we don't normally find young celebrities wearing, it could be a very wise and wonderful choice for a young woman in a crazy business who is looking to be centered and secure.

Paul and Sarah Edwards are truly deserving of this award and recognition. Their books, talks and consulting have spawned thousands of new businesses across the nation and created a whole new class of small business owners working from home.

Our major exports are books and children, both of which we produce in abundance. The children are Laurence, Joanne, Sarah and Carry.

My whole family is so supportive, including Sarah. They're all going to be here watching. ... Sarah said to have fun and just enjoy. That's what I've been doing since I got here.

I worked for Sarah Palin. I have the political staffer version of P.T.S.D., so whenever I hear that she's breaking her silence, my heart stops.

I think Sarah has become a huge role model for teen-age girls and teen-agers in America, which I'm very happy about,

I think my favorite role was playing Sarah Baker in 'Cheaper by the Dozen 1.' It was my first movie, and I worked with amazing professionals who had such strong work ethics that I immediately learned how to work in this industry.

John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as running mate is the towering example of his poor judgment. Palin's ignorance of public affairs is monumental.

Just basically what he'd already said, that he didn't do anything, he blamed it mostly on Sarah (Kolb).

That's the last time I saw Sarah alive. Josiah was there, too.

We really threw Sarah into something in Raleigh, and she came through. Sarah has been a good one for us. We feel like with (sophomore Jamie Burwell ) that we have two good ones.

We have been talking with several companies that are interested in sponsoring female drivers, ... These days it takes something a little different, and if you look at me and Sarah you can see we are a little different from all the other drivers out there because we are females.

We played pretty well defensively. Sarah Wilson handled nine chances flawlessly they just got on a bit of a roll in the middle innings.

We had a little crisis when Matt and Sarah had to replace their shower curtain liner and we said no. But we put the word out and someone found one for them. It's like the Amish - we help each other out. We raise a barn every week.

Three people had indicated there was some foreign substance in their soda that they couldn't identify. Sarah Bowes was one of them, one of the people that complained about having medication in her soda.

When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, Sarah Palin tweeted, 'Obama lies; freedom dies.' She's referring, I guess, to the freedom to go without health care when you're sick.

We agreed that Sarah was up against a better athlete and would have to play nearly flawless tennis to come up with the win.

Up front we will be looking for the emergence of a dependable goal-scorer. Andrea, Taylor and Sarah (Freidel) all return as players capable of making that jump.

The one-two finish was totally unexpected. That, and with Sarah scoring in the 50, I thought we might be closer to Sweet Home in the final tally. But I was very excited to see us ahead of Cascade.

This sport is always continuing; we need to work on getting the ball back out to the sides. Sarah Cahill was put in some tough situations. There needs to be more support to people in the center with the ball.

We know that Sarah is always going to get a lot of attention from whoever plays us. So it's up to the rest of us to step up and keep things going.

Why is it our business whether Sarah Palin returned to her job as governor three days after her son was born, or three months? Is there a right answer?

Those 3s by Sarah and Brooke were big. We also changed defenses in the second quarter and I think that helped a lot. Overall I was happy that the girls didn't get down mentally when Morrison built the early lead. We stayed with it, fought back and finished the first half strong.

We are shooting well in practice, but not in games. Sarah shot well last year. She's shooting well in practice. It's just a confidence thing. She's a soccer player playing basketball. But tonight she did rebound, defend and run the floor. If she does those things, she doesn't have to score. And we know if we get Amber open for shots, she'll hit them.

When we lived within six blocks, Aunt Sarah or Aunt Mary knew all about the boy who you were having this blind date or this first date with. So we knew all about the boy.

Both pitchers had phenomenal games, both two-hitters. Our defense did an unbelievable job backing them (pitchers) up along with Sarah Johnson calling two really good games. We really needed these two wins and to do it against Truman is awesome.

We all love to read, and sometimes, everyone in the family reads the same book so we can talk about it. Stacy, Sarah and I all read the new Harry Potter book together the day it came out. We each had our own copy, and we all stayed up late to finish it.

The other kids see how much she loves to play the game and it brings a lot of spirit to the team. She is not the fastest person on the team, but has good speed and combined with her ability to get a jump on pitchers, it makes her very good at running the bases. Sarah is also a fun-loving person.

We got a really unselfish performance from Alix Hughes. Sarah Moore played huge in the middle. She looked like a college player. Lindsey Wilkerson played huge for us at forward and on defense. We spotted the other team a goal early, and we had to rally the troops. It was a team effort. We also got some contributions from our younger players off the bench.

We got a lot of good offensive effort from a lot of different people. Sarah played a great game today ... offensively, defensively, doing some nice things. This is the way that we feel like she's going to be able to play all of the time.

We spent all spring without Andrea Rice and Noelle Tyre because they spent the semester studying abroad, so their personalities and talent back in the lineup will help a lot. We are looking for Sarah Stock to have a big year she scored some very important goals last season.

We certainly didn't want Sarah racing if her preparation has been compromised,

We controlled the game. We did a great job stopping penetration, and when they did get inside they just ran into Sarah (Child).
