Tracy Quotations

It's been a lot of fun getting to work with Tracy Middendorf, who plays my mom. As an actor, it's always fun to have different parents and to create different familial dynamics than you have in your real life.

Growing up, I was a little hippie kid. I went to some good concerts... Amnesty International with Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman... The best concert I ever went to was this one at the Cow Palace my freshman year in college on New Year's Eve. It was Pearl Jam opening for Nirvana opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The Tracy Morgan you see is the Tracy Morgan in real life. He's a great guy but... man, is he a nut.

The nature of the beast is that film is a director's medium. It's not a Tracy Letts play, it's a John Wells film. 'August: Osage County,' as a play, is done. Written. On the shelf. It'll be performed in its entirety for years.

Every once in a while, I hear somebody call me Tracy to try to let me know that they know me, you know, personally. But most of my real friends will call me Trey, or 'Ice' was basically short for Iceberg. So they would call me - some of my boys call me Berg.

I really like the Doors. I like Kevin Spacey, Bruce Springsteen, Will Farrell, Reggie Watts, Tina Turner, who is also very hot, Tracy Chapman. Beethoven.

I don't know what Tracy Morgan does onstage, but I can assure you, it's no act.

I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.

I love Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple. People like that. People you can really connect to on the most basic human level.

I was spawned by some pretty good people in this business - Mr. Astaire, Mr. Tracy. They stopped and took their time to talk to people.

Tracy Morgan is subdued. I'm cool. I'm chilled out.

I've been on 'Criminal Minds' twice! On the first show, a boy brought kids out to the woods and was beating them with a baseball bat, but I got away. Then they brought Tracy, my character, back - as a kidnapped girl. They saved me two times! Tracy lived!

My voice is very distinct. People hear Tracy Morgan's voice, and they know Tracy Morgan right off the bat because I've been in their homes for so many years.

We still need to look forward. The way Miami will miss Shaq (O'Neal), they'll still need to play. Well, the league is not waiting for us or for Tracy to come back. We've got to hang in there. We can do better than that.

When we have Yao (Ming) and Tracy (McGrady), we're a good team. It's pretty simple.

With Tracy out of the game, we all had to step up.

We've tried to bring fun back to the game and the girls have latched on to us. We (Williams and assistant coach Tracy Ross) are seeing a lot of good things from these players.

We've staved it off for 15 years, but we have to pay the piper -- the time is here. To use money just to keep a dwindling school alive is not wise. I understand that it's difficult, but looking at it overall, it's not the board's fault enrollment in particular schools is going down, and it's not the board's fault that families have to move to Tracy to buy a house.

When I was at MGM some years ago, I remember that there was a serious discussion of trying to remake some of the (Spencer) Tracy and (Katharine) Hepburn pictures. And that's a great idea except that they were successful because of Tracy and Hepburn.

Obviously, Jim Tracy is a big reason why I came here. But I also thought it would be nice to get closer to home. I thought it would be pretty neat if I could get in a situation where my family and friends could come and see me play.

Nothing against Tony, but there's other guys playing great. Tracy (McGrady) has to be there. It's in Houston. And then you got Kobe and Ray Allen. He's just got some stiff competition.

(Nick) hasn't developed as fast as we'd hoped he would. He's been really good the last several weeks, but now the other guards - Chris Bryant, Leonard Houston, Sean Tracy - have actually surpassed him. He's trying to come from behind.

I got the hit and saw Tracy hung up between first and third, ... Fortunate for us, the ball bounced our way. It was nice to come out on the winning end on one.

I didn't really know that. Fans really get hold of that type of information when you pass on a guy. Kobe Bryant was the 13th pick, Tracy McGrady was the ninth pick. You never really know until you step on the court, so you really can't fault them.

I am excited about Tracy and Michael continuing in their roles with Ole Miss basketball. Their contributions and commitment to the future of Ole Miss basketball are important to our long-term success.

I am confident in them, they have poured their heart and soul into this case they take Tracy home with them every night.

I am dedicated to finding out what happened, I can feel Tracy beside me, pushing me I have the strength of two people, and I'm going to find who did it.

I feel Tracy is going to be a really good player for us. When she is under control, she really has a nice feel for things. The more she improves, the more she will play.

If we win the next two games, we should be in the playoffs. If we go 1-1 against Tracy before finishing the regular season at Lincoln, its going to be real close.

We're obviously trying to build around Tracy and Yao, and just as important as getting those two guys has been to get guys we feel best complement their strengths and compensate for their non-strengths, ... We still have a long way to go to get the roster we need to take us where we want to be taken. By no stretch do we feel we're there yet.

He reminds me of Tracy McGrady without the flash.

Jim Tracy is going to have some leverage this winter because there are going to be a number of openings,

Jim Tracy has been a passionate and valued member of the Dodger organization. I have an extremely high regard for him professionally and personally,

Jim Tracy has a history of using all of his players. I know I'm going to get my chances to help this club.

I think it'll happen again because of the three-point line. Tracy McGrady is a guy who could do something like that, because he can shoot from a distance and also get on top of the basket.

I was comfortable that Jim Tracy was an excellent choice. I'm confident, from having worked with the guy for five or six years, that he's a very good communicator, he understands the game well, he has lots of experience as a Major League and Minor League manager, and he's won.

I think we'll have a good year. Right now, Tracy and me have one year of experience. We know how to play together.

I think ageing suits me because I was born old, like Spencer Tracy or Dolly the Sheep.

(Jenny) has carried us so much, I'm happy we got a break just so she can relax a little bit. And Tracy is doing anything she can.

I respect what Tracy has done here in the Rio Grande Valley, and I thought it would be good to have him on the bench for the game. The bottom line is, I really felt that he deserved to be an All-Star coach because of the job he's done here.

Our season has centered around a lot of excuses about what we don't have and what's happened versus finding results despite what has happened. That's not to minimize how good Tracy is, certainly. Yet I feel we could have responded better. Take Yao out of the picture. Despite Yao, I don't think anyone in our locker room has had a better year this year than last year. That's on me, and that's on them.

Paul Tracy is a great driver and a tough competitor. You know when you have beat him in a race, you have beaten one of the best drivers in the world.

People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable's role, or most of them.

I might just stay here with Tracy forever.

We can't continue to dig ourselves holes like this. You hope this turns around. Tracy is a patient man, but that's not going to last forever.

Tracy was our leader tonight in getting our inside game going. It's the proudest I've been of him all year. We wanted to get our post game going and we did that.

Tracy was frustrated at the start of the season. She wasn't scoring and the links were which wasn't a bad thing. She built on each game and got more and more confidence. It took awhile for her to get used to the people around her.

Tracy looks like he's injured to me. He just didn't seem to play with as much vigor.

Tracy has told us that we're both going to have ample opportunities. That's fine with me.

Tracy had been a great support player in the midfield. Many of our goals are made from her contributions in assisting or setting plays.

Tracy got going pretty well after a while, but the first half his back was quite bothersome. Obviously, Yao had some fatigue problems. He never could quite get going in the fourth quarter.

Tracy (Anderson) and I had talked about having a holiday tournament for some time, and now that our program is stable, we believe this is a perfect time for it. It's going to be in the middle of the winter, and I think that it's going to be easy for us to market, and it'll give us an opportunity to showcase UTPA.

This sport is just such an individual sport that you don't see people hanging out together, training together. And I think one of the advantages for Tracy and I is we have very, very similar physiology. We can use that to our advantage and help each other go faster and stronger.

You look for Tracy and you make sure you take care of him. Tracy has been a good friend of mine for a long, long time, and I look forward to him putting on a good show.

I'm very homework-oriented - I'm a little Tracy Flick-ish.

We would like to get some more dribble penetration from people other than Tracy McGrady. It would be nice to get McGrady a spot-up shot that wasn't under duress, where he didn't have to create a shot for himself but where a shot was created for him. Particularly when McGrady is out, we'll try to do more pick-and-roll stuff for Rafer.

This was a great opportunity for us to build some confidence. Obviously, Tracy wasn't out there and he's a big part of their team. But this is the NBA and they still had a lot of good players out there.

The original Spencer Tracy version of 'The Old Man and the Sea' was always terribly flawed because of the over-reliance on voice over, but it's still a beautiful movie.

This was pretty encouraging. It's got me ready to compete, the way this whole day went. Jim Tracy has made it clear what he expects from us, what he believes we can do. Now, it's up to us.

Cyclone Tracy was a category four, this one when it crossed was category five, so a much stronger system, much more destructive.

Elton is such a professional and works hard at what he does. He's not a flashy player like Kobe Bryant or Tracy McGrady. I don't know if people anymore appreciate the ethic he has.

There's a couple real pieces that sort of shine. 'Queen Owl' by Dana Carlson, the most established artist in the show. She shows a lot in New York and her piece is really good eye candy. And there's Tracy Bull, she works with a lot of glass. Her piece is really beautiful. It's called 'Lair.' It's glass with copper and a queen bee inlay. It's really gorgeous.

I've been hugely inspired by the songwriting of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman - on their albums, they really tell it like it is.

Ryan is a very hard tackler, and he comes with a great soccer pedigree. Josh has been a three-sport athlete and I think he's really going to excel in college as he focuses on soccer. Collin loves to get forward and is a very proficient passer. Tracy is an explosive player who is extremely tricky on the ball.

On this team, we're used to having Tracy and Yao there to make shots at the end. We're here for a reason, we're here because we know how to make shots. It's all about doing it when it comes down to it.

This is going to be great for Pittsburgh. Jim Tracy has had a lot of success, and he's done it with young guys. For us to get all that experience, it's a tremendous boost, I think.

A lot of people are excited about Jim Tracy and the players we have picked up. The All-Star game is a bonus.

All of it is bad. We just struggled so badly offensively. We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. They did a great job with Tracy (McGrady) struggling. Sloppy, we just didn't play well, just didn't take care of the ball.

They had been doing that the whole game, doubling up on Tracy. A lot of times it's open. But when Tracy gets it going, and he's shooting the ball, he's on fire. But it's always open when guys are double-teaming him like that, so when he's going like that, we try and go get the rebound.

I totally expect her to come away with some money, at minimum. To get into the top 10 isn't unreasonable for her. It all depends on the night. Nobody's a winner every game, but Tracy comes out a winner more often than she comes out a loser.

It starts always with the two best guys (Yao and McGrady) and their energy level. Tracy McGrady obviously was very efficient tonight and when he is efficient, we as a team have a better chance of being efficient.

It just made me and Tracy that much more comfortable at home.

It's going to be tough without Tracy (McGrady ) and David (Wesley ). If we continue to play the way we've been playing, we can beat anybody on any given night. If we help each other defensively, rebound the basketball and take care of the basketball, get quality shots, we can beat anybody.

It's been a while since I had one and when I rounded first and saw Tracy hung up in-between home and third. Fortunately for us the ball finally bounced our way. It was good to come out on the winning end of one.

That's absolutely what Tracy comes to incorporate into her sense of self,

It's definitely the most intense to hit the Northern Territory. It's worse than Tracy because it's a category-five whereas Tracy was a category-four.

Things happen. When you know your team is not doing good, most of the blame goes against your manager. I don't see nothing (bad) Jim Tracy did with the Dodgers. ... I don't see the reason why it happened.

Anytime that Mark, Tracy and I get a chance to play together, we're really excited about that. I think it's going to be really cool.

She likes irises. She had a big iris garden. She had a lot of them in Tracy and at her house in Manteca but not so much at the trailer.

That's exactly right. It'll tell you if you can go on. Whatever happened in the Derby he's back on his way again. I'm really happy with him. Tracy likes to play the game.

In 1992 he started BTC contract services with his partner, Tracy Trivette, and the company is now a national government service contractor in the landscape and security services business,

I'm not trying to hit anybody in the head. Jim Tracy and those guys know that's not how I play the game.

If you have Tracy McGrady on your team and play really hard and smart, you can be in games.

I just like to use the football analogy. I'm the head coach and my job is to direct the team down the field and throughout the game. But Vern and Todd are the star quarterback and the star defensive player. And Tracy is the all-conference player and my directors are the all-conference players. So it's very much a team-oriented thing. But yes, ultimately I'm the guy who has to decide what we cover and when.

I have favorite authors from a lifetime of reading, so there are some I'll automatically read every time they have a new novel. Included in them: Robert Goddard, Jeffery Deaver, Sophie Kinsella, Katherine Neville, Greg Isle, Laurie King, Lee Child, Lisa Tucker, Susan Howatch, Paul Auster. Barry Eisler, David Hewson, Tracy Chevalier.

Before Tracy left, she came to me and said she thought I would be good at it. I know I have really big shoes to fill as the coach. John and Tracy did a great job with the kids.

Charlie and Bob give us valuable veteran leadership in the backcourt, ... We can rely on them to offer both effort and consistency. We are delighted to have hard-working role players like Charlie and Bob to provide support to our All-Star nucleus of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

These guys don't play it at a level like a Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady or myself,

Andre gets in foul trouble, wasn't able to play a lot of minutes, Johnny and Kyle come in and do a very nice job, and then Andre comes back in at the end of the game and defends Tracy (McGrady) extremely well.

The glaciers at Glacier Bay are higher and bigger, and you can see more wildlife than at Tracy Arm. The only difference is that not many cruise lines go to Tracy Arm.

I loved Spencer Tracy. I would have done anything for him.
