Dave Gunn

Obviously, she's 6-6, so she's going to have some advantages inside. She's going to be their go-to focus so we need to work on defending that and forcing the lob -- playing in front and pushing back.

Dell Leonard

To be honest, I'm not nervous, ... It sounds silly. This is totally different to me in some respects. But in others, I have been racing for too many years and Fontana is a track that I know.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the motions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

There's a fine line between tasteless and crass and just out-there, offbeat sensibility. This is sophisticated lunacy. ... If you are looking for a very broad silly comedy, it works on that level, but if you are looking for something intellectually subversive, that's really there, too.

(The Rebels) were hurting as bad as we were. We had a 15-point lead and did some silly things.

David Bruck

Because they are so silly. Silly is quite a dangerous thing to be because you can fall flat on your face. And they sometimes did. But other times they were so daft it was wonderfully inspired and they certainly weren't safe. I'm not as keen on stand-ups as everyone else. That masquerades as being quite bold, but few are actually risky.

The League

I've been in horror movies, I've been in silly comedies. Actually did a musical once.

David Warner

I'm a non-believer. I don't believe in the existence of a God. I don't believe in the Christian dogma. I find it horrifyingly silly. The intolerance that flows from organized religion is the most dangerous thing on the planet.

Jane Rule

I think it would be silly to not have a chat. He fits our criteria. He's just captained a grand final-winning side, he just won the Clive Churchill medal, he's been on a Kangaroo tour, he's a north Queenslander and he's played at our club before.

Peter Parr

Barrett has the ability to do that. I've also seen him look pretty silly sometimes seeing him sit on a pitch and not get it. But that one worked out.

Steve Camarota

We know it's very early days and no-one here is making any silly claims.

George Foulkes

One night this guy actually said to me, "Your legs must be tired, because you've been running through my mind all night." It was so silly I didn't even get it. With lines like that, you might as well just stay at home.

We think we're a pretty good defensive team, but their big guys can make you look silly. They are one of the best teams out there, no question about it.

Andy Howard

Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. 'Immortality' may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.

G. H. Hardy

That is totally unfair to people, and just plain silly.

Jim Randel

I thought it was kind of silly when we started looking into it.

I thought he played pretty good. He ran when he needed to, threw it when he had it. He didn't make any silly mistakes. He was on point. That's what he does, and that's a good thing.

Brandon Williams

Thomas Mesereau

It's something I care about for some silly reason.

Rick Sandlin

Man is the most intelligent of the animals -- and the most silly.

Diogenes Laertius

As good business people, we'd be silly not to tap into every fan of the book and hope they will become a fan of the movie. We don't believe we're making a Christian movie. We believe we're following the story of the book faithfully and allowing everyone to interpret it how they want depending on how they've connected to the book.

Dennis Rice

Gary Neville has been the best right-back in the Premier League for the last eight years or so and he is someone that you know you can rely on. He is always steady and doesn't do anything silly. He is a great player and I would like to have the same attributes as him.

Luke Young

I think this is downright silly. It's completely unnecessary and expensive.

Scott Stewart

I think it's kind of a silly concept to have a representative town, but it's attractive to some market researchers because it's a cheap solution.

Robert Groves

We gave two silly mistakes away and we got punished.

Barry Grayling

This makes us look exceedingly silly. Basically their policy is that if they allow something on campus, it means they're endorsing it.

David Skok

When Ryan was little, his dad and I would laugh because he would run around the house with a silly cape around his neck, because he wanted to be a superhero. Now he is.

Henry Miller

Today I Feel Silly.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Everybody carries a little pocket knife. To say we will not allow anybody to carry one is somewhere between really silly and unenforceable.

Bob Monetti

Oakland is a tough team to face in the first round of a tournament. We improved from the last time we played them, but we made some silly mistakes that added up quickly; it was a learning experience.

Lindsey Talley

Siebel is undeniably the highest functionality. For my money it would be silly not to take the functionality and express it in what is going to be Fusion.

Bill Edwards

We had a few silly fouls that we'll need to get rid of if we are to step up at the next level.

Carolyn Compton

I'll just pass up my six-pack and silly little things like that. But it does cut into what you're going to buy at the grocery store because we need to get around. We have to function.

John Diaz

They were really considered a pest. I have no problem with them if they're out there where there's no people, but this idea that every state's gotta have some wolves back, I think is silly.

Bob Perry

I absolutely have to keep on top of all things changing within the parameter of investments. We hire professionals to make recommendations, but if we have no knowledge of what's going on, we don't know whether or not we approved something rational or someone had a silly idea and let's take a chance.

Roger May

Of course not. What for? It's a game. It's a silly game. It's football, it's not a diplomatic blunder.

Jerry Fishman

We wanted to frustrate them. It worked for 40 minutes but then we let in a silly goal. But if we had gone in 0-0, we could have attacked more in the second half.

David Tuttle

It was a blast, and it made me a little star in my school when it happened, ... It's kind of funny and embarrassing now.

Sam Roberts

And here's what's going to rescue us -- Donald Trump! This is the face of NBC? It's almost silly and a little embarrassing.

Ray Richmond

It's so silly and sophomoric. I'm not particularly outraged. It's certainly not the worst insult I've received.

Bob Littlefield

We played them better than the first time. The second time, we still made silly mistakes, but were able to adjust to what they were doing.

Jodi Sackville

You see I don't like to be really too commercial about things but in this business you've just got to be commercial otherwise the films don't make money and you don't make films and as a long as a commodity is selling it's silly to kill it dead.

Peter Cushing

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

Norah Jones

It's embarrassing to admit that I'm worried about how I look when so many people have died. But it's not vanity. It's our weapon against all this, ... I just need to feel normal, and this helps, silly as it might seem.

Mary Jane

Just making shots slows (Michigan State) down a little bit. And then we had some silly turnovers that we don't normally have. That just better fuels their offensive aggression.

Greg Brunner

It's just fun to get together with a lot of pug owners. The competitions are kind of silly, we're all really here just to have fun with our dogs.

Kevin Barron

It is silly to call fat people "gravitationally challenged" - a self-righteous fetishism of language which is no more than a symptom of political frustration.

Terry Eagleton

Their athletes, in Ryan Coleman and Patrice McKinney, can get to the basket and make you look silly in a hurry.

Curt Miller

It doesn't have any basis. It's like me saying they're Martians; it's silly.

Frank Mackay

A lot of the win had to do with our senior leadership. We needed that. We made a lot of silly mistakes in the first half: guys falling down, guys not taking advantage of holes that were there (along the line of scrimmage).

Mike Dimatteo

We made a silly mistake, and 10 seconds later they're within three runs. That's what happens when you don't play smart the entire game. But boy, he hit that ball a long way.

Al Melnick

We had some key injuries and made silly decisions in the beginning of the season. Lately it's been a consistent brand of hockey.

Ron Kuhl

The little things in the first half, I think that's what lost the game for us. We had silly turnovers, fouls on 3-point shooters, not blocking out (Brian) Randle and stuff. Stuff like that, we need to toughen up.

Courtney Sims

I told them (at halftime) that it wasn't us in the first half. We made so many silly mistakes and so many dumb things that we haven't done all year.

Jerry Grant

Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.

Arthur Golden

We are perfect for each other. I like someone thoughtful, serious and intelligent, but I also want him to be fun and silly. He has to be able to make me laugh ? if a man can do that, he's pretty well got me.

Naomi Watts

This tax is really another example, and a particularly silly one, of a tax on telecommunication service that once created, never goes away.

Bill Myers

Andrew Metrick

Blackwell's campaign makes a lot of silly statements but these comments are ridiculous.

Bob Paduchik

We knew coming into the game she was aggressive, and we might be able to get her to commit silly reach-in fouls. Sometimes you can be too aggressive.

Christian Winthrop

Any notion that we bought this to go elsewhere is silly at this point.

Dave Checketts

It's silly that we don't have an event in the whole state of Texas. There are plenty of slots (on the schedule) available for us.

Wendy Ward

All the defenders were very solid tonight. We didn't make silly mistakes. We also got some girls experience on defense who don't normally play there. That should help us later on.

Cindy Emfinger

I think us fouling them down low and us being behind their post players got them back in the game. We were making silly fouls. We weren't being smart underneath tonight.

Natalie Jones

It is appropriate that, rather than getting involved in silly Nationalist arguments, we are effective at catching drug dealers and getting drugs off our streets.

Jack Mcconnell

I think it's silly to make new borders now. Education and health care is much better there.

Ksenja Milosev

Washington is one of the few places they make money. They would be silly to give up an asset like that.

Darryl Jenkins

I don't think it's silly to be sitting in a board room discussing what to do if aliens attacked tomorrow. It's far-fetched, but who would have thought on Sept. 10 that Sept. 11 was a possibility.

James Zeller

While I was working in Las Vegas, there was a lot of picture people who approached me and said I should try the movies. At first I thought it was a pretty silly way to make a living.

Clint Walker

Before people here were just watching silly films or reality shows. Very few read the papers. This program is meant to help communication among detainees and break the isolation we are living in.

Pancrazio Chiruzzi

We just like making people happy. It's okay to dance at our shows, it's okay to act silly. It's okay to be yourself and have fun without having to worry what other people think.

Severin Bozung

It seemed there were times we could have taken control, but we made some silly mistakes that you just can't have in a basketball game.

Scott Wince

It's a very good sign (for the future). Any talk about how he shouldn't have been hired just because we had a so-so year defensively was silly. I ignore that and everyone that knows the game should ignore that. Today just goes to show what he's capable of. He gave us a great plan.

Joe Stellmacher

Students are excited see their teachers get up there. Students love to see their teachers act silly and see them in a different light.

Wendy Parkhouse

You have to have a sense of humor. Countering a novel and a movie is a little bit like fighting against smoke. If you swing at it with boxing gloves, you wind up looking a little silly.

Brian Finnerty

Their charge is frivolous and silly. This was a personal transaction that did not require disclosure.

Ivette Mendez

People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust.

E. B. White

People make a lot of silly mistakes because they don't know. The ability to write a good application is a way to get to the top of the (grant) list.

David Stewart

I've heard a couple of comments about [Johnny], people saying, 'We hate him; he's so mean.' And I just so disagree with that. That's a silly way of looking at it. Johnny is a guy who does exist. I grew up with guys who weren't all that dissimilar from him. He's a Southern, working-class guy who's trying really hard. You can root for him the entire way.

Ben Mckenzie

We talk about our days, our upcoming schedules and then sometimes we're just really silly so we laugh a lot.

Sandy Smith

I thought we played pretty well, we shot the ball pretty well. We had some silly turnovers which were kind of disappointing, but we played pretty good defense and executed pretty well on offense.

Scott Bokelman

They can't guarantee that I'll be alive tomorrow. Asking for a guarantee is just silly. The finances show we are in a position where we could do this now.

Margaret Ponga

Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.

Zsa Zsa Gabor

My singing wasn't horrible, but my dancing really made it look silly. It's not like I'm a horrible singer that can't sing. But I don't have the consistency or the presentation skills that a good performer has.

William Hung

They can score in bunches quickly. [They] can make you look silly in a hurry.

Curt Miller

Jane Austen
