I should have done better, but it was just a very ugly and weird game… I knew the game was going to be an ugly game when I saw those three guys at the scorer’s table. Ugly people call ugly games.

I don’t think anything of Laura Frank. You heard me – Laura Frank. Not Lawrence. Laura… It’s not that I blame him, I just wish he’d go to a manly tactic and just fight me. Don’t whine. When he whines, that’s when I change his name of Lawrence Frank.

Shaquille O'NealShaquille O'Neal I’m just getting better and better. It’s just like a bunch of worker bees protecting the king bee, because I’m not a queen bee. I’m a king bee.
Shaquille O'NealShaquille O'Neal The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don’t know. I’ll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don’t know anything about him, and it’s kinda sad.

There’s a very distinct difference between a really wonderful DIY label and a soft drink company, or a car company, or a clothing brand, and you will always understand that difference.
Alan PalomoAlan Palomo I don’t think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.
Alan ParsonsAlan Parsons A product is most easily sold when it has an identity. So they wrap you all up and put a label on you.
Alan ArkinAlan Arkin I don’t like to label myself. I know I’m very hard to pigeonhole.
Al YankovicAl Yankovic Our label is very digital-friendly. We try to provide some free stuff to get interest in the band, but we have to pay our artists. They have to get paid.
Al JourgensenAl Jourgensen It labels us, affords us kudos, and raises our profile in the “pecking order” of our fellow troglodytes. It says to others, “See, I’ve done so well that I can afford to do nothing at all whenever I so choose!
Al GiniAl Gini I’m selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
Aimee MannAimee Mann At a major label you can start to feel that you’re working for them, and that any work you do, you’re never going to see any benefit.
