I’ve been around the world and it’s an experience I’ve enjoyed. But there’s no feeling like pulling on a Rangers jersey and playing in front of those fans every week.
I will not go to Oklahoma and retire my jersey there.
I was pretty young when I decided I wanted to, well, more so be a singer. I started singing in church in my hometown, East Orange, New Jersey. I knew when I was about five or six that I wanted to be a performer.
Even as global warming increases the frequency of El Nino and the Atlantic event, their effects are being amplified by the annual loss of an area of rain forest the size of New Jersey. Less rain falls, and the water runs into the rivers instead of being sucked up by the fungus filaments and tree roots.
I came from a prep school in New Jersey, so I get that when I got to FSU, some people weren’t sure about me – I didn’t play in Florida or Texas or at a powerhouse high school.
When you lose for the All Blacks it’s not a nice feeling. Expectations on us are pretty high. We have high standards and we know if we’ve let ourselves or let the jersey down.
I would never try to measure fame; I’m really just a regular chick from New Jersey.
Listen, don’t get my Jersey pride going. We are the most densely-populated state in America ’cause some many people who know the secret want to live there.
Didn’t George Washington say, ‘He who controls Afghanistan will carry New Jersey?’
I miss my family, and I miss the New Jersey beaches. They have beaches here in L.A., but they aren’t the same.
Does ‘Jersey Shore’ make me sad for humanity that this is what’s passing for entertainment? Well, this is a business, and if that’s what millions of people want to watch, I can’t fault someone for producing it.
I went to school to learn to be a hairdresser. I worked at a wholesale florist, where I delivered to florists all over New Jersey. I’d come home and go out to work down at the Shore. The early jobs, I remember, were $5, $6 a night. And I lived in the projects right until the time I became successful.
We played some of our first big shows at Wayne Firehouse and Manville Elks Lodge. New Jersey’s always been our home away from home.
I had never really felt settled in Brooklyn. I think it had to do with growing up in New Jersey and being someone who her whole life wanted to live in the city, and the city meant Manhattan.
Where I grew up, in New Jersey, there was a lot of organised crime activity. It was a part of life.
I think Jersey stands alone, and because I’m from Jersey, I never make fun of where people are from. I’ll make fun of what they look like, but I’ll never make fun of where they are from. Jersey is special.
Getting the opportunity to play in your national team jersey and playing the World Cup at home is something wonderful.
I’ve started most of the time I’ve been in a Knick jersey, so I just think they want me to bring a certain energy every night. They want me to bring that defensive presence because they know I can make something out of nothing on defense, and I think they just want me to bring that defensive presence every day.
We’re all determined to do whatever it takes to honour the national team jersey.
I never watch ‘Sopranos’ reruns back home. As far as I am concerned, the nuclear family is still sitting around the luncheonette in New Jersey, munching and chatting, safe and together, and that’s how it ended for me.
Sonya Deville was originally supposed to be NJ Deville to help me keep my MMA nickname of ‘The Jersey Devil’ after debating back and forth we agreed on Sonya Deville.
I certainly know all about the Jersey jokes that amuse the rest of the country. You’ve probably heard them. Our state bird is the mosquito. Our state tree is dead. It doesn’t help that we are represented on television by Tony Soprano and ‘Jersey Shore.’
I absolutely believe that, come November 2012, I’m going to be governor of New Jersey and not in any other office. But the fact of the matter is, if Gov. Romney, who’s going to be our nominee, picked up the phone and called me to talk about this, I love my country enough and I love my party enough to listen.
On its surface, the HBO documentary series ‘Hard Knocks,’ about the New York Jets’ training camp, resembles another HBO series, ‘The Sopranos.’ Both star the stout patriarch of a New Jersey ‘family’ preoccupied with food, intimidation, and florid profanity.
Philly is more East Coast than Pittsburgh. It’s closer to New Jersey and New York, so the vibe is way more fast-paced.
I’m just glad people want to get my jersey.
I feel most comfortable in an old pair of jeans, Converse, and a man’s jersey. My best friend cuts my hair with kitchen scissors.
I had the Kobe jersey. I would do the Kobe walk. I would walk around the house doing the Kobe stare-down face. Anything you can name, I was idolizing him, trying to be like him.
Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
I grew up in New Jersey and played sports and rode my bike around. It was a really nice time – kids didn’t have cellphones then – and you knew everyone in the town.
I still remember the first gig where I got people going, it was Rascals in New Jersey, and the place was packed. I was scared. People were expecting me to be funny. I gotta be honest, every time I walk into a club, it’s that same fear.
I moved to Hawaii from Inglewood, New Jersey. I had planned on retiring there.
As far as value is concerned, the principal reason that I moved to Texas from New Jersey many, many years ago was because I recognized that Texas was a much more entrepreneurial state than New Jersey, that the opportunities to start things were greater in Texas. And my vision was fortunately fulfilled.
I played the Holiday Motel on the circle in 1970. I know the Jersey Shore.
I sent my personal check to the Planned Parenthood of Northern New Jersey. My wife and I do every year.
My first responsibility is to be selfish for New Jersey.
New Jersey has decided that fewer handguns legally carried in public means less crime. It is obvious that the justifiable need requirement functions as a rationing system designed to limit the number of handguns carried in New Jersey.
If I’m not working after ‘The Wiz,’ I am definitely planning on going back to college in New Jersey.
When I was growing up, it was so embarrassing to be from Jersey.
I was 23, and all sorts of people were coming in and out and watching me, like Steve Allen and Bette Midler. David Brenner certainly took me under his wing. To drive home to my little dump in New Jersey often knowing that Steve Allen said, ‘You got it’ – that validation kept me going in a big, big way.
I was the Secretary of State of New Jersey in November 2000. I paid careful attention to the challenges that stemmed from inadequate voting systems in various places.
My formative years were in Jersey and I’m kind of Jersey at heart.
I live in New Jersey now, which always gets a bad rap here and there, but I must say, I enjoy living here too.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to perform. I went to an arts camp called Brookdale Arts Camp, in New Jersey, from the time I was 6, and then I was a counselor there through high school.
By the time I was in first grade, we had settled in New Jersey, and that’s where I grew up, outside of Philadelphia, right in the heart of Eagles country.
Every time we wear this India jersey, it is very special for us.
Growing up in Livingston, New Jersey, was terrific.
Once you’re past the age of, say, 11, you should stop idolizing athletes. You look ridiculous wearing the jersey of a guy who is younger and wealthier than you are.
When I put on the U.S. jersey, I play for myself, I play for my family, and I play for the team. That’s really all I do.
I also love horseback riding in New Jersey.
I was born in St. Louis, but I’m from Maplewood, New Jersey. Maplewood is completely different than the rest of New Jersey. It’s very small. It’s quietly affluent but more low-key. Lauryn Hill is from my town, though.
What I do miss is the Jersey Shore.
It’s weird that I’m putting my old green and gold jersey, and I’m moving on to the cardinal and white. I’m a Stanford Cardinal.
I have a Dominique Wilkins Hawks jersey that I still wear. That’s probably my favorite one. What’s funny is that I spend all this time collecting jerseys, and now people are out there collecting mine.
I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn’t feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went.
As a Christian, we can’t stand on the sidelines with no team jersey or team colors to show our allegiance to Christ.
I’ve lived in so many different towns – Guttenberg, Union City, West New York, Jersey City. We didn’t have a lot of money, and we’d get kicked out of places a lot.
