Quotes about Willie

Jesus Christ - his weed is NUTS! I'm not much of a weed guy - I'll take whatever pills you have - but the weed, man, always hits me wrong. But you try and say no to Willie Nelson when he goes [pretends to take a toke and waves it in my direction], man, you CAN'T do it!

Johnny Knoxville

I wish I could coach 100 Willies. Coaching Willie has been a pleasure. I admit that I was a little nervous when he made those comments about being player of the year, but I love how he backed them up. He's been a joy.

I didn't know how big Willie was until I stood next to him. I'm 6-5, 320. Willie's a big man. His body ... he's big, he's a very big guy. He reminds me of a Lincoln Kennedy, (Jonathan) Ogden, a lot of those guys. Levi is more my size. They're doing a real good job.

Willie Roaf

We're faster at quarterback right now. Any of the three guys we have vying for that position are faster. We don't throw it as well. Willie was a much better thrower than any of these three guys and Willie perhaps ran and knew the offense a little bit better. One thing that Willie was, he was really sharp. He understood what we were trying to get done and did a great job with it.

Willie Nelson stands for something. He stands for Texas, and when he goes off and starts being best friends with Jimmy Carter and Dennis Kucinich, as far as I'm concerned, that stains Austin. That stains his iconic image.

That's what we talked about [at halftime]. Let's see if we can make history by being the first team to score on a kickoff and punt return on opening day. I don't think it has happened too many times before. The way the coaches were talking about it, I fully expected it to happen. The guys may have wanted it even more than Willie and I did.

Chad Morton

When they see images of guys like Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks and Roy Campanella, whom they recognize as household major-league stars, and realize they came out of the Negro Leagues, all of a sudden that mindset changes.

Carlos Garcia

Willie was really ready to run, and we knew if he could win that race, we could have a shot at winning that championship. We had a lot of other opportunities to score, so we can't just put it on one event. Arkansas has a great team, and they deserved to win.

People often think that every artist in that realm had the same qualities. If I want emotional intensity, I'll listen to Little Willie John, but if I want some pyrotechnics, I'll go to Jackie Wilson. It's not all the same emotional level, that stuff, which people make the mistake of thinking it is.

James Hunter

If he is looking weary and resigned to the fact that he is probably going to die before it is over, and if he has a deep, almost hopeless desire to go home and forget it all; if he looks with dull, uncomprehending eyes at the fresh-faced kid who is talking about all the joys of battle and killing Germans, then he comes from the same infantry as Joe and Willie .

Pat Conroy

I've seen him run both ways. I don't know how much pace there will be. If it's strong, he can be further back. Willie knows him and he has confidence in him. He's been off the pace in a slow race.

Buff Bradley

He's durable enough to carry 25-26-27 times per game. The problem is staying healthy, and I think a lot of that is luck. I don't care who you are, you have to have some luck. Look at Curtis Martin. He's about the same size as Willie, and he has played for years and years. He just doesn't get hurt. Maybe the same thing will happen for Willie.

'Weary Willie' is very real to me. He is a man who has given up. The boat has gone and left him. The cards are stacked against him. He's content to make out with what he's got. He knows he'll go no further.
