It's kind of like an old boxer. When somebody rings a bell, they jump up ready to fight.

Jim Ferree

Playing a gay character and being gay was my gimmick of 1997. And it gave me my little window of opportunity through which I'm jumping with alacrity.

Rupert Everett

I know he's a scorer. He came around, but I was already there to help on the penetration. He put the ball up. He put it right there, so I hit it. Jump ball.

Shawn Witherspoon

We should have posted this one rather than jumping on it right away.

Alex Sustek

This is the thing that could get more guys to make the jump. They'll have a free pass and nothing to lose.

Bruce Heppler

I knew I had to make that jump. I had to be aggressive to get it.

April Sinkler

I saw his eyes, and I tried to get a jump on the ball. I was fortunate to get a hand on it.

Jason Dawson

I really want to go in and lift after this. I think I can get faster and improve my vertical jump.

Jessica Martin

I didn't jump the way I wanted to. I haven't had that really good feeling. ... This is not a break, but it's a blessing in disguise. We weren't prepared mentally the way we should have been.

Todd Lodwick

I was a little nervous, because it's a big jump from the JV up to the varsity.

Fredrick Thomas

There are hoops for industry to jump through.

Leslie Norwalk

Ryan's got an effective jump serve and he's a solid blocker. He's definitely the guy who should be our top scorer.

Brian Walker

We do a pretty decent job of running a tournament so we said, 'Let's jump on this and go.' We have six seniors who deserve it.

Bob Bathalon

We have the type of team that can just jump on a team early and we can just hit 'em, ... We can't give teams any chance ... because everyone is going to have their eye on us.

Ben Chandler

BOC stock isn't jumping more as some investors may still want some clarification on antitrust issues, or maybe there are some dividend issues.

Olivier Hertoghe

It's hard to make that jump to D-I, and we still did it without skipping too much of a beat.

Brendan Barlow

He's been real consistent in the high jump and he's going to be good in the long jump. Overall, I was really pleased.

Jay Miles

We're taking an opportunistic approach here. If something comes up like this we're going to jump on it.

Andrew Fegyveresi

They had a lot of jump at the start of the game and they didn't let us have the puck.

Marc Crawford

Katie is a great player. She has one of the purest jump shots in Division I.

Noelle Quinn

We still go over calls, ... It is hard in plain clothes to jump in because people will ask, 'Who is this guy?'

Ron Blair

Everyone else is trying to jump your claim. We did a great job for the team and generated millions for the Canadian Olympic Committee.

Michael Budman

It's a big, big jump and it's being propelled by the commodities.

Pat Mchugh

Clearly the pendulum had swung away from her. The new album is her attempt to jump back on that pendulum.

Chris Willman

Those first two were big confidence builders for us. We knew with the weather the way it was, that we needed to jump on them early.

Suzette Hartvigsen

Zach really gave us a spark with those two jump shots.

Jeff Santarsiero

Paul's greatest asset is his athletic ability. As a quarterback in high school, he's got the great ability to run and jump. He brings the athletic component to the javelin that a lot of people don't bring.

Chris Huffins

Given today's jump in sentiment numbers, hard economic data for January should follow suit.

Ralph Solveen

I'm somewhat happy. I'm not happy with the jump, but I'm happy with the first place.

Marshevet Hooker

It was nice to jump out of the gates like that. We haven't done that in a while.

Colin Doyle

But if somebody wrote Delphi a big check for these plants, I am sure the company would jump at it.

Daron Gifford

I can't fault the horse. He's jumping out of his skin.

Paul Perry

When the ball is in there air, it belongs to me. I have to be able to come down the jump ball. That is what I was brought here to do.

Greg Carr

People see there's a chance that the Japanese currency will become more competitive. Whenever there's news from China of this kind, they jump in to buy the yen.

Neil Jones

I expected to do better. I wanted to get a better jump than that. (My progress in the long jump) has been good. I've been real consistent and consistency is the key.

Michael Morrison

I'm really hoping some communities jump out of the gate fast and get moving by the end of the year. I believe that in the next 18 months, you'll see a lot of activity.

Sen. Brooks Mccabe

It's harder to get people to jump when it's just you and your little business.

Sally Kroha

They were jumping over us. We weren't blocking out.

Lorenzen Wright

They like it. It is a little shorter than the national level, but it is national-like in design. They were jumping about 100 feet.

Steve Pallin

We're comfortable with that range. It's a bit like the high jump, and the bar has gone up for 2006.

Mark Lund

It sounds like you are jumping through all the right hoops, ... You're headed in the right direction.

Patricia Sanders

You're seeing more consumer interest in alternative fuels like natural gas and diesel. In Europe it's already gained a lot of traction. And a lot of automakers are jumping on the hybrid bandwagon.

Mike Chung

He settled for a jump shot then. This time, he got all the way to the basket and found a way to get it up there.

Jessie Evans

In Texas, they make you jump through hoops to get on the ballots.

John Mcdowell

We criticize and separate ourselves from the process. We've got to jump right in there with both feet.

Dolores Huerta

He transitions from dribble to jump shot really well. I mean really well.

Tim Prescott

Cooper's our backbone. She's been in the gym all summer, and she's worked hard on a jump-serve. It's going to be nice element to her game when she gets consistent.

Sandy Basinger

It was quite the jump, being thrown into it. It's been a blast.

Brett Buckles

I was in the forest jumping around daffodils while everyone was high on heroin.

Rufus Wainwright

If we had known from the start that we were going to be the first jump, well, we would have looked at it completely differently.

Randy Weeks

Obviously there are two different reactions after the matches. With Harvey, we more expected it - it's business as usual. With Brendan, I'm hugging and jumping.

Cameron Beard

The hoops to jump through are so difficult, and that goes for everyone.

Bill Garcia

If you jump off the furniture, you're going into a time-out in your room. You're gonna crack your head open.

Amanda Brown

Although we had a fall on a jump we did our best on all our other elements.

Tong Jian

Here's a Jersey girl who could premiere this film anywhere she wants, but she gave Newark the jump on Hollywood.

Joe Piscopo

It's been a big learning experience going from juniors to the pros. A big jump.

Kevin Nastiuk

With my little band, I did everything they did with a big band. I made the blues jump.

Louis Jordan

It's not a big jump. But it's a jump.

Hakan Bjorkman

Brianna Anthony did not even place in the high jump, but she qualified for states and recorded a personal best.

Dennis Driscoll

Joel is not afraid to let those two guys jump in when he doesn't see something. It's nice to see. It's not one guy controlling everybody. They're not puppets. They bring their input, and that's what makes coaches successful.

Ian Laperriere

He had a big tractor tire that he liked to jump in and roll down hills in.

Trey Clark

He times his jump pretty well. He's able to reach the ball at its peak without fouling.

Mike Ellis

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Ray Bradbury

That play was a hit from jump street, ... That changed our world forever.

Clarence Fountain

Everybody is jumping on organic. It's a niche market. Only 2 to 3 percent of consumers buy organic.

Anthony Owens

Jumping around, everyone happy. We had fun out there.

Jamont Gordon

We should make a big jump from now until we start.

Dustin Fry

We wanted to get a jump on the others and do something that nobody else is doing.

Jonathan Martin

We're all separate -- cross-country, biathlon, Nordic combined and ski jumping.

Felix Gottwald

I'd just count down from five, put on a move and pull up for the jump shot.

Connor Drumm

I designed the cruise control and a thing called a dampening circuit. It works so that when your speedometer turns on, it slowly accelerates, instead of jumping [in speed].

Ben Hudson

I'm glad I helped the team, but I didn't jump to my potential. My goal is 18 feet in the long jump and 40 in the triple jump.

Camelia Sams

Venture capitalists are like lemmings jumping on the software bandwagon.

Adam Osborne

Only sometimes, as a half-joke, I can picture myself jumping, when I don't get sleep.

Janne Ahonen

If it was just the two of us, we'd probably jump on it. Any time you make a decision involving six people, it can get complicated.

Mark Price

Our first game here we could not hit a jump shot. Coach told us to make sure we take the ball to the hole.

Billy Milne

I'm terribly excited. We're all jumping up and down. I'm pleased that NASA hasn't given up on science altogether.

Lucy Mcfadden

People were screaming and wanted to jump.

Claude Camps

By us moving in this direction, we are jumping on the piece of the regulation that remains intact.

Jim Bagnato

He runs the team well and hits the open jump shot.

Sean Mccurdy

Wow, usually only rainbows jump like that.

Joe Glowa

They told us a lot of things; he'd never run right, never jump. All the things they'd tell you to freak you out.

Sherry Levy

That?s a big jump in a sprint like that.

Jim Heath

When we have our frog jumping contests we have to import frogs.

Delphine Palmer

People will jump on it like ants on a muffin.

Michael Hawley

When we get our first big win, other cities will jump on the bandwagon. It will be a big domino effect.

Renee Martin

He couldn't jump either and he did all right for himself. Fann kind of has a little bit of that game.

Bud Childers

That was more of a walk-through, fun house type of attraction, where aliens would jump out at you.

Ray Radelia

But second place (in the javelin), I was happy with that. But the high jump? That was just bad.

Kyle Loomis

The ball was jumping out of his hand. His velocity jumped up with it, his slider was tighter and he had a dominating performance.

John Flaherty

If you jump in and get your feet wet, there's no turning back.

Larry Larsen

Lots of people wanted to jump out of the windows, children were crying.

Oumar Cisse

These are the desperate acts of a desperate president who is going to try and drag this country through a cultural war to jump-start a failing campaign.

Cheryl Jacques

Problems aren't necessarily the hardest climbs, but they're the hardest sequence of moves. For instance, sometimes you have to jump between moves.

Logan White

We block out more and push harder. They're not just going to jump over us, and we're going to let them know we're there.

Shannon Froboese

I've been triple jumping for five years, but this is my first year to long jump. I figured I'd try it this year and give Daniel a little competition.

Thomas Pile

(Fry) is so big that he took everything we had to the basket. He forced us into a jump shooting team. And we had a bad shooting night.

Bob Strickler

If people were jumping off bridges we wouldn't give them a push, we'd try to stop them.

Regina Carlson

I didn't just jump on the bandwagon, I spoke out against it in 2004.

Monte Lane

That was basically lucky. I timed it right. That was at the peak of my jump when I caught it. That's about as high as I can get.

Brendan Harris

They jump, they crawl, they do everything.

Charles Brannon

People who jump to conclusions rarely alight on them.

Philip Guedalla

Some tears. Some guys screaming. Some guys jumping around. A lot of hugs. A lot of high fives. This is a big game. A team that's one of the best in the league and to win it the way we did is a big deal.

Robbie Tobeck

The jump in import prices will fan the new-found fears of inflation in the markets and at the Fed.

Paul Ashworth

Last year, we were still jumping around at this time.

Devron Bostick

This is an executive director who doesn't think twice about jumping in a truck and delivering food. She's a great ambassador for this city and for food banks. Hunger is an issue that isn't going to go away.

Bill Hoover

We are not going to jump on everyone overnight.

John Muller

I was under the impression that I could come back and make an impact. But without a healthy leg, it's pretty hard to do anything that involves jumping.

Tommy Skipper

Listen, I'm going to jump it. I know the route.

Deon Grant

So you always want to jump on these teams early not let them stay in the game. And we came out and played well early.

Mark Kellogg

As long as they jump through the hoops, at the end of the day, they can be fairly free to negotiate.

James Peters

We settled for a lot of jump shots and didn't get to the free-throw line. We didn't get the ball inside enough.

Drew Neitzel

It was raining so hard we didn't want him jumping.

Bill Fritz

We will have some of the legacy athletes there jumping for the anniversary.

Connie Hagler

Pina did a lot of driving to the basket but she can make the outside jump shot, too.

Lisa Mandeville

He does things to jump start us. He so active on the defensive end anticipating, creating tips and steals, that he acts as a catalyst for us and really gets us going.

Don Byron

Fortunately, we have some guys who can get up over the net without having to jump very high.

Richard Starr

It's all mental. Our sport is completely mental. My jump is decided by myself before I go. If I don't feel I'm going to land it, I'm not going to land it, bottom line.

Jeret Peterson

I wasn't expecting the grades to jump that much. They kept pushing him to do his best.

Cheryl Morris

Sometimes, when we close up, they'll jump the fence and keep skating. We're going to keep a tighter eye on that too.

Richard Blankenship

No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.

Fran Lebowitz

Nate Robinson has a lot of jumping ability, but I don't see Josh losing.

Dominique Wilkins

I guarantee you after their last game, they've all been challenged. I'd actually be surprised if they didn't come out absolutely jumping out of their shoes.

Mark Campbell

We don't jump offsides. It's the little aspects of the techniques we have been trained to pay attention to. Your brain understands more of what you hear.

Owen Davis

She was a little off of what she was consistently jumping (coming into the meet).

Wayne Williams

They are all jumping on the band wagon. They have an issue with more meat than they had before.

Kent Scheidegger

We're looking for great families for these guys. They are so well behaved. They know not to jump up. They know exactly how to behave in a family.

Courtney Frank

I was trying to rip the ball out of her hands or force a jump ball.

Heather Ezell

This is the same commission we've been bargaining with since April 2005. Why are they going to jump up and agree with us now?

Pat Hanrahan

Evan jumped down, I climbed down the tree cause I wasn't going to jump.

Jake Eakin

We felt we had to jump on them early. They were a Cinderella team, and I told them the longer you let them hang around, the more things could go in their favor. We had to get out and squash them.

George Tachibana

It's the depth and the versatility it gives us. We've got basically 10 guys that can jump in there anywhere.

Marcel Lachemann

I've never had something jump on me like this.

Mike Dejean

He has the best jump hook I've ever seen. When he's active and fighting for the ball, fighting for position, no one can stop him.

Johnny Gray

Our job, ladies and gentlemen, is to jump in a hole and help these kids out.

Anthony Schembri

I was screaming my head off, jumping up and down. I was ecstatic for her.

Mary Hathaway

Of course, there's one more hurdle to jump. We still have to have an audience. Will they come? We don't know, but we're going to give it a good try.

Charlie Ward

It's a big jump. People don't realize how big it is.

Roger Grillo

We knew it was imperative to get off to a good start and we certainly had some jump in our step.

Andy Murray

It's always a boost when you have a great defensive play. It gets your momentum going and gives the team a little bit of jump going down the other way.

Allie Sanchez

When we are at home and the crowd is going, we run just a little bit faster, jump a little bit higher. This crowd was so electrifying, it gives you goose bumps at times and as a young team, we feed off that.

Rasual Butler

It will jump out at us if it's supposed to.

Bob Kenney

Usually you jump up a little bit, then there's a settling back down of a few points after that.

Charlie Cook

He's got a real good jumping ability and made a big-time play in a real crucial time of the game.

Ronnie Peacock

That part is a mystery. Why we can't get a jump from the start.

Tisha Hill

Expect to see commodity prices jump. It's not going to happen today or tomorrow, but it's something we need to be prepared for.

Jonathan Daniels

It's a big jump from five to two, it's tough. She's played pretty well.

Dave Peters

That's a darn good jump for Kemp. That was the same height as the winning varsity jump.

Gene Meyers

It was like Grateful Dead bootcamp, jumping in like that.

Joan Osborne

I wouldn't pinpoint any tournament that I lost because of my condition, ... But it's an extra hurdle I have to jump every day.

Scott Verplank

You could say it was a jump start. He'd never done that before, not in front of the whole team. But it worked.

Willie Reid

This was a significant jump, much stronger than people were expecting.

John Shepperd

She's real quick to the boards, and she can jump out of the gym.

Mike Bradshaw

He probably feels pressure to duplicate that this year. This is a big jump for those guys coming from 'A' ball to Double-A, probably the biggest jump they'll make.

Jeff Blauser

You have to jump through a lot of hoops to make the part.

Roy Bell Iii

It's very hard to jump when you're not pressured.

Dwight Phillips

Guys were jumping up and down, screaming. Crying.

Dramane Diarra

I thought my girls were down a little bit. They weren't as intense as they had been in the past two games. The first-quarter jump for them was huge.

Brian Musty

I thought it was just a fight, but when (Nordstrom and Hill) kept jumping up and down on his leg after he was down, I had to charge them with assault.

Chris Hanson

Apple has a pretty high bar to jump over.

Stephen Baker

We had emphasized that we'd see a lot of pitchers. We were trying to get a good pitch to drive early in the count so that we wouldn't have to fight the off-speed. We really concentrated on jumping on a pitch early.

Jefferies Tatford

As soon as the engine crew became aware of the people, [they] blew the whistle continuously. The crew was hoping they would jump off the bridge.

Jon Shute

If the market goes down 10 percent tomorrow, you're not jumping out the window.

Russell Kinnel

What I liked best tonight was the way we came out from the jump to get a lead and bury them.

Bryant Mcallister

That could be part of the explanation, ... That maybe we did jump out there and then lose that edge.

Kenny Williams

A lot of investors are still unsure which way the market will go and so are reluctant to jump in.

Martin Angel

There is, and will continue to be, I believe, an excess of 'dot-com' frenzy, where investors who feel they missed out on the first wave should jump in on the next wave, and so on.

Kate Delhagen

It's not fair to ask someone to make that jump, which is why we need to bridge the gap.

Craig Wright

I was like a little kid. I was jumping up and down and couldn't believe my eyes. This was a wonderful trip.

Jackie Clark

The theaters are . . . a business. If August's plays weren't out there for all these theaters to jump on, they wouldn't have done it at all.

Charles Weldon

There's almost no gravity at the surface. If you were standing on [the surface], you could jump into orbit.

Donald Brownlee

I was pretty confident it was going to do pretty well, but I had no idea it was going to jump to the top of the best-seller list.

John Grogan

We were hoping (to jump out to a big lead), but we weren't expecting it.

Rance Gillespie

The thing I love is when some of them have 15 dancers. Everyone's jumping and falling and bubbling around. It's a distraction.

Ben E. King

Getting a jump-start would be amazing. It gives us confidence and takes the stress off of the defense and pitching.

Lauren Verrusio

I found myself not jumping in (to assist) as often if someone did not have that (corrections) background.

Ron Blair

Consumers have been understandably frustrated when they see gas prices jump as much as 50 cents a gallon in one day.

Bill Mitchell

It's not a great thing. But we're going to jump on it.

Mark Hoekstra

I still can't believe it. As I was sitting on the ramp, I had a feeling it was going to be a long jump.

Thomas Morgenstern

It's important for all of us to be serious about what the needs are we have. We're not jumping to this lightly.

Maryellen Elia

It was tiring. I had a couple dunks and a lot of jumpers, jump hooks and free throws. It was crazy.

Al Jefferson

It's far, far too early to jump out there and say there are no impacts. The intense oil and gas development just began in the last one to two years. It's impossible to sit back and say anything with certainty.

Randy Hampton

I think it just comes down to them being great players. They can run fast, they can jump high and they can catch the ball. They're special guys.

Marcus Trufant

I was just able to get a jump on the kids and beat them to the corners. That's the name of the game.

Brian Thomas

Austin had a great week of practice, and I thought his athleticism and jumping ability would help us on the boards.

Tommy Mcwhorter

Of course, there's one more hurdle to jump.

Charlie Ward

After the season it was, we were approached and (it was) something we had to think about and what I had to do for myself. I just felt that it was the right decision to make the jump.

Kris Chucko

I'm excited to be here and to jump in on these projects.

Jim Dowd

You just hope if you're playing with energy it doesn't matter. We had no jump.

Ali Lacey

When we ran the tape, it was obvious it (the clock) was jumping.

Chuck Heberling

I wanted to be safe and just wanted to land the jump.

Jana Lindsey

The guy's got long arms and he can jump out of the house so hey, use him.

Randy Thomas

It will jump the falls, sometimes.

Dale Miller

You need to run and find shelter whether it's a car or a building or something like that, because if you jump in a car, sure some of the bees are gonna come with you, but you can deal with the ones that make it in there.

Charles Owens

Don't jump on a man unless he's down.

Finley Peter Dunne

We just didn't have the jump right away. We expected a big game from them because they've been hot.

Brenden Morrow

Thirty seconds later, and we would all be jumping out of windows if we could have.

John Papierowicz

We really wanted, as a committee, to do a thorough job and not jump into something. We looked at a lot of great candidates, and we did our homework on them. This committee was very, very thorough.

Randy Stange

They came out from the jump wanting to win. They crashed the boards hard, they did everything a lot harder than we did. ... They just wanted this game harder than we did tonight.

Trent Strickland
