Wayne Quotations

'Wayne of Gotham' is very much a father-and-son exploration. We've always seen Thomas Wayne through the years as this figure carved in marble; this perfect man.

When I get the possibility of using a character like Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson, I try and think about what's most exciting or interesting about them as a person, so I try and think what they are at their core, or what piece of their psychology do I gravitate toward that I respect, and I'm excited by it when I read books about them.

Nobody talks about how Puffy went to Howard University or about Lil Wayne attending the University of Houston. All the young kids know is what they see on the videos.

I made 'Rio Bravo' with John Wayne. It worked out pretty well and we both liked it, so a few years later we decided to make it again. Worked out pretty good that time, too.

People don't assume John Wayne shoots people and rides a horse on weekends.

Growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, Ben Johnson was more famous than John Wayne to some of us. I knew him. I worked with him on a low budget film years ago, and we'd sit around at night while waiting for a shot.

John Wayne never ever disappointed his fans, because he was a cowboy.

I grew up loving the John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns.

We'll see which level Wayne wants to participate,

Wayne Rooney is an excellent footballer. I know he is young but when he is on the pitch he doesn't seem very young.

Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player who wants to win every game. It is his determination which is coming to the fore. Unfortunately, things like that happened to me many years ago when I had a go at the referee. I did daft things and I once got booked for showing a ref the red card. But the rules have changed now, and if you applaud the ref that is what happens.

Wayne Robertson is probably a couple of weeks away while Rohan Couch joined in a few drills and should be right to go next week.

Wayne Newton has brought a lot of smiles and laughter to Las Vegas for the last 40 years. It's great he's being honored for his work entertaining our troops overseas. I'm sure Bob Hope would be smiling knowing his legacy continues.

Wayne McGregor's 'Dyad 1929' is a good example of this capable British choreographer's work.

Wayne McCullough and Michael Brodie stood toe-to-toe with him and that brought out the best in Scott.

Wayne loves him. He's very confident. Very aggressive. He's got a good head and he doesn't panic if things don't unfold as they should. He compensates, and nine out of 10 times he makes the right decision.

Wayne is the county that was built through the tremendous growth of business and manufacturing for a century, and now that's declined so the jobs have declined. People came here for jobs. They're leaving for jobs. It's as simple as that.

Wayne is still not fully fit. But he's only going to get better. I was pleased with his performance against West Ham in the last game and he will get fitter and stronger as he goes on. He'll be back in the squad for the World Cup.

Wayne is a natural leader of the Roots athletics team, Team Roots, and a great ambassador for our company. Both on and off the ice, he exemplifies the best of Canada and the Canadian and Olympic heritage of Roots.

Wayne has dealt with the media before. I think he's made it very clear where he is in this situation. He has not been involved. So there's no reason for Wayne not to be here. If Wayne didn't come that's not right. We want Wayne Gretzky to be here.

Wayne Gretzky means a lot to hockey in Canada.

Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux created a whole new genre of players.

Wayne County has been dominated by the Republican Party and many years there has been no check and balance on the courthouse. Demographics say that this district here should be held by Democrats.

Wayne County and the State of Michigan offer unique opportunities for the creation of the bio-refinery model.

Wayne can play any position but the way he plays for Manchester United, just off the main striker, is unstoppable. He runs at players and that is what causes teams most problems.

Wayne can be whoever he wants to be. He's a great young lad and he's at the right club to be looked after and to be brought through. If he carries on doing what he's doing, creating chances for players and for himself, he's going to deserve those comparisons.

Wayne brings with him a wealth of experience and a fine reputation and I am confident that he will make a powerful contribution to English National Ballet and to the British dance world.

Wayne Bridge is a world class player and even though he is only just returning from injury, we are more than delighted to have him on board for the remainder of the season. Obviously with the World Cup around the corner Wayne is keen to play regular football and given that some big clubs were interested in signing him this window, we are delighted that he has chosen Fulham above everyone else.

Wayne Bridge has got a good chance which is great news. When he first got injured in the England game we thought it would be a number of weeks but he's progressed and pushed himself really hard. He's got a good chance.

Wayne and I are trying to keep an even keel and talk to our boys a lot, more than we normally do. This has been a real binding event. It kind of keeps your perspective.

Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!

It’s what happens when you shoot someone,” Wayne pointed out. “At least, usually someone has the good sense to get dead when you go to all the trouble to shoot them.

When Wayne came back from Italy he said one of their main problems was their defense wasn't involved in the offense, and that he doesn't want that (to happen) here now. He told us defensemen we have to jump into the play and play as a group of five people on the ice. Hopefully, it's going to create some offensive chances. At the same time, we have to be careful of turnovers.

We want to make that happen, but we want Fort Wayne to put a USHL team in the city, and that way we could throw it back at you. My thoughts are that if Indy is ever going to have another team at the pro level, it won't be me who is involved in it. The only thing I'm interested in are the American Hockey League or this level, and I don't think this market can support an AHL team.

We're concerned about Wayne State, but our preparation has been focused on playing our game.

So John Wayne ... rolled in the saddle as his nag ran at a gallop in the snow toward the chest-high fence. The horse stretched, Duke rose, and the two cleared the fence with plenty of room.

She's one of the top players in the area. She plays for the Fort Wayne Fever which is one of the top club teams in the state.

Me and Wayne were battling for the ball. He was juggling it. I kept trying to fight, fight. I was falling, because I jumped before he did. Coach always says play to the whistle, and that's what I did.

Of course it's a big honor. The Rangers are an original six team. A lot of great players played hear -- Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier -- a lot of great players. It's a big honor to me.

My dad started taking me to Winnipeg games when I was 3 or 4. As a kid, I loved Wayne Gretzky, and I remember the first game I got to see him play against the Jets. The Kings beat the Jets, and I was happy that they did. Gretzky left the game after the first period, and I was upset about that.

My husband and I have made this very difficult, heart-wrenching personal choice to move back to the West Coast. Fort Wayne is so a part of my heart. The decision was incredibly hard to make." ()

My father was a sort of John Wayne Texan who'd worked as a cowboy when he was young. He'd participated in rattlesnake round-ups and swum with copperheads.

Naturally, Wayne and I were miffed. We'd been setting ourselves for this match for weeks,

Obviously the message, or the brand, or what you see it won't be consistent. But it isn't a big issue. If it was a big issue Wayne would be asked to do what everybody else is doing. He and his people know what works in that district and the P.E.I. campaign and the national campaign trust his judgement on these things.

On the plane home, Wayne went to great lengths talking about how great a job Bird was doing, and about how the team was playing a style that reflected his own philosophy as a player,

One of the reasons I wanted to move him was that he wasn't pitching enough. We played 10 games in Fort Wayne or whatever it was, and he's been on the mound (four) times. We have to find ways to get him out there.

I did this one movie with a great director named Wayne Kramer. It was 'Crossing Over,' and Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta were in it. I was one of the leads, and I thought this was it. It got shelved for two years, and then it was in theaters maybe a week. After that, I adopted a philosophy of, 'Hope for the best, expect the worst.'

I don't believe in anti-heroes. Duke Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero.

I can just tell you on record that whatever happens, we need and want Wayne there. He is our leader. He got us through some tough times in '02 and we expect him to get us through some tough times in '06.

I am hoping that Wayne will ask to coach again next year.

Celebrities like John Wayne and Willie Nelson used to stay here, so we took that idea and ran with it. Our visitors really like staying in rooms with a unique ambience rather than the bland cookie-cutter chain hotel rooms we've all seen before. We replaced just about everything except the walls to give the rooms a whole new look and feel.

I'm all into my rap grooves. I'm checking out artists like Lil' Wayne and Trick Daddy.

I have made the point that I do not want to let any players go. I didn't want to let Wayne go. I wanted to keep Wayne but that didn't happen. That was out of our control, but all the rest are in our control. I expect us to be keeping them - I really do.

From an economic development perspective, given the attention that the automotive industry is giving to this particular fuel choice, it's in Wayne County's, and ultimately the state of Michigan's, interest to be prepared to participate in the E85 rollout.

I emerged from summer league feeling that I would have no trouble, no problem playing Wayne Simien. And I think that's the first step for any player. ... I think he has the skills and the smarts and the toughness where you would have no problem.

I get his fan mail, and take it to work. I've gotten boxes of persimmons, all kinds of stuff, ... One day a woman showed up from New Jersey, asking me for the donation I promised. I told her that she's probably looking for the Wayne Newton who lives in Las Vegas.

I always take a shower, then sit down and relax while I listen to music on my CD player. My favorite artists are Lil' Wayne and Bun B.

He has a deep awareness of music like (Thelonious) Monk, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and Wayne (Shorter),

He came off the doggone chopper, and he started cussing, and people started moving, ... I give the president some credit on this. He sent one John Wayne dude down here that can get some stuff done.

There is good depth to the squad and everyone can see what a quality player Wayne Rooney is,

We took up the entire space (of the old Grand Wayne Center). All the side rooms, every inch of it. So now we're all in one area. So much nicer and it's great.

We're obviously very concerned with what the House does as far as funding for Wayne State.
