There was no better end than Lance Alworth and no better lineman than Ron Mix. Those are Hall of Fame guys. There was no better guard than Walt Sweeney and no better pair of running backs than Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe.
For me it’s just amazing that I grew up watching Tim Duncan and KG and Kobe and Paul Pierce, Allen Iverson and all those guys and now it’s like, ‘Man, I can’t believe they actually got old.’ It’s like they actually walked away. It’s crazy to think about, but the game has to keep moving.
Any time you get to see Paul McCartney, it is pretty special.
You’re not going to look at Paul and see him slacking, not carrying his weight. All the other stuff, ‘Paul doesn’t lead’ and all that? That’s fine. Go grab guys that lead, then. Let me help them lead.
I started writing sketches when I was 13. I liked Vic Reeves, Fry and Laurie, and Paul Merton, and I thought you could just send sketches to the BBC, and they’d go, ‘Great. We’ll put these on telly.’ But I gradually realised that you either had to go to university and join a club, or do standup.
If it wasn’t for Paul Brown, I probably wouldn’t have a job because he basically evolved scouting.
There’s an institution here called the National Sound Archive, and there’s a character who works there, Paul Wilson. He takes a very special interest in the history of the music and advised Martin Davidson of the existence of these tapes.
Two of my most important signings were made at the beginning of 2004. I took 20-year-old Clint Dempsey with the eighth pick of the MLS SuperDraft and added 51-year-old ex-Arsenal striker Paul Mariner as my assistant on a free transfer from Harvard University, where he’d been coaching.
I would love to work with Dustin Hoffman, John Malkovich, Omar Epps, Martin Scorsese, Josh Mond, Woody Allen, Paul Thomas Anderson, and David O. Russell, just to name a few. Those guys are absolutely brilliant at what they do.
It’s hard to speculate, but it was tough when coach Paul Westphal drafted me and wanted me there and then got fired two weeks into my rookie year.
Just as we were finishing ‘Paul’s Boutique’ we got our own places, and I was going out to clubs a lot less. I got a bit more introverted and spent a lot more time on my own reading. I would just go down to the esoteric bookstore and wander around.
There really isn’t a dream role, but there’s a dream situation where I could work with a director that I idolize. So, the idea of working with David Fincher or Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson or Scorsese or Spielberg or any of the guys I really idolize is a dream for me.
Being a Paul Heyman Guy wouldn’t be such a bad thing!
Paul Scholes was the main figure for me growing up. His attitude, he’s humble off the pitch – you didn’t hear much about him – but on the pitch, he was loud, aggressive, liked to tackle, and I learned off him.
Many American players – Paul Caligiuri, Claudio Reyna, Eric Wynalda, Kasey Keller, Tony Sanneh, Michael Bradley and Steve Cherundolo, just a partial list – have sought the income and challenge of Germany.
Will I do another tour with Paul? Well, that’s quite do-able. When we get together, with his guitar, it’s a delight to both of our ears. A little bubble comes over us, and it seems effortless. We blend.
Paul Cummins is a genius. He’s a true visionary.
When you live in Brooklyn, if you throw a rock, you’ll hit a writer – Jonathan Safran Foer, Jonathan Lethem, Paul Auster.
I wished that I could have been down there because Paul actually wanted me to do the tour with him, but then he realized that it just wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be a solo tour anymore. It would look like just half of KISS.
Paul would have jumped on a plane and asked questions later, and been there a day before we were there. That’s who he was. He was fearless.
I keep a small – a very, very, very small circle. It’s just me and my mom and my sister. And maybe Chris Paul.
Pope John Paul II was a man of peace, a friend of the Jewish nation… and worked for the historic reconciliation between the nations and for the renewal of diplomatic ties between Israel and the Vatican at the end of 1993.
You can either be in the Ron Paul tradition and say there’s nothing wrong with heroin and cocaine, or you can be in the tradition that says, ‘These kind of addictive drugs are terrible; they deprive you of full citizenship, and they lead you to a dependency which is antithetical to being an American.’
It also was never a secret how loved Paul was, but seeing and hearing the way that everyone talked about him, from producers to crew, made it so obvious how much Paul was loved by every person we came across.
Paul Ryan’s in for Paul Ryan.
I actually thought Pope Paul VI was the most tragic figure in the modern church, like Lyndon Johnson was a very tragic figure in politics in some ways.
Benedict’s spending down his energy was a function of his fighting against the Space/Information Age’s relentless pressure on the concept of hierarchy, the restoration of which he had, following John Paul II, made a central part of the program that has come to be known as the reform of the reform.
I love ‘Breaking Bad,’ and the fact that my friend Aaron Paul is in it makes it all the more special to watch.
I usually write about ordinary people and ordinary things, but Paul Farmer is the least ordinary person I’ve ever met… He’s the leader of a small group of people who hope to cure a sick world, and I hope my book can help in some small way.
To borrow a very popular phrase, I’m a Paul Heyman guy.
But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.
Paul McCartney would be the end all, be all. To work with Paul would just be amazing.
I just did a play in New York which has been my best experience that I’ve had for maybe ever. It was Paul Weitz’s play called Privilege and I was in New York for three months.
Paul Ryan was grown in a petri dish in D.C. He is absolutely an open borders guy, through and through.
Can you name the last time Paul Ryan worked as hard for Wisconsin workers as he has for corporate America? I can’t. I can’t think of one time.
Usually guys like Chris Paul, Lebron James, they will steal the ball from you. Stay away from those guys.
I was 11 years old when the Beatles broke up. I was a Lennon fanatic – I mean, I loved Paul too, but Lennon was the guy – and there was always this dream of the Beatles getting back together; there was always this hope.
If he is having a bad game, a team-mate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn’t notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon would often write a song a day, so I have the same workmanlike philosophy.
Paul Newman is not a very good pool player.
And, more important, none of Paul’s music feels unfamiliar to me.
My guitar is a mutation between a classic Fender Stratocaster guitar, which I played for years, and a Gibson solid-body like an SG or a Les Paul. It contains all sounds of the basic classic rock n’ roll guitars. It does what I want it to do.
There’s great cars, and then there’s Aston Martins. Same thing for the 1959 Les Paul – it’s an authentic piece of art that can never truly be replicated, and its mysteries are special.
We say Paul Ryan was grown in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation.
I would really love to work with Paul McCartney. Isn’t that arrogant?
I really love Paul Smith. And Chrome Hearts. They make the most beautiful, high-end leather and outerwear and jewelry you’ve ever seen. But I’m not a big fan of shopping. I certainly am a fan of clothes and especially people that put time into the construction of them.
I’ll never be the biggest kind of star; I’ll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can’t identify the face. I don’t have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott.
The first three times we met, I don’t think I remembered anything. I was just in this daze like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m sitting here with Paul Reubens.’ And I kept almost calling him Pee-wee.
Well I’ve obviously been a guest on most TV shows and spoken a little bit and that but I got the call to stand in for Paul O’Grady when he was off.
Whereas his father would deliver rambling lectures that were heavy on gold and often disconnected from the political news of the moment, Rand Paul communicates a desire to make himself relevant to the GOP conversation.
Paul Rudd is ripped.
When I interviewed Paul Bremer in his office, he had almost no books on his shelves. He had a couple of management books, like ‘Leadership’ by Rudolph Giuliani. I didn’t take it as an encouraging sign.
I don’t feel like we have that Paul McCartney gene, and I think the cool thing about us is that we know it.
I think that Rand Paul represents a segment of the GOP, just like his father. And I think he is trying to expand that, intelligently, to make it larger.
A man of strength and wisdom, John Paul became an inspiration to generations of both Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the world by encouraging freedom, promoting peace and respecting all faiths.
Paul Ryan says he’s for smaller government, and he’s funded every big government idea that there is.
It’s weird to me when an artist comes in, and the label says, ‘We want him to sound like Chris Brown,’ but he says he wants to sound like Sean Paul. There’s a huge disconnect – it’s like we’re making a product.
