Quotes about meyer (16 Quotes)




    This is a very exciting day for Time Warner and its shareholders in the creation of what we believe will be a very strong and viable 5th broadcast television network. This new network will have all the strategic asset value as an outlet for our programming that The WB presented us, but with a much firmer and more secure financial present and future. The credit goes to Barry Meyer, who continues to have tremendous vision and extraordinary business acumen as the long time leader of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a company that we are proud to say continues to be number one in its class.


    I think if you watch the aggressive way Urban Meyer coaches on the sidelines during a game, and watch his wife in the stands, you know they're not going to take no for answer from a recruit. I think his persona has a lot to do with his recruiting.


    The campaign was further extended through spring of 2005, because the Meyer Sports and Wellness Center cost was approximately six hundred thousand dollars more than originally budgeted.

    I just have some restaurants to just go and eat there. Do mean places to watch people? I like to go shopping look for guitars and stuff with my friends. Look at Meyer, great old instruments, talk about pedals and stuff.

    We think coach Meyer is going to be the future. What he demands from us is a lot of responsibility, a lot of time. What he's going to reward us with is a lot of wins. That's a fair trade in my book.

    I wanted to support my friend Ron Meyer and his company for doing something of this significance. Is it too soon to make it I think people will judge that for themselves. My judgment is it's not too soon. The longer you get away from it, the further your personal memories are of it. In this film, people can see how average people can rise out of their shells and do amazing things.

    Coach Meyer casts a large shadow on the game of college basketball in a positive light. He truly loved the game and the kids he coached. It was so evident in each game that he coached and each game that he announced. I love him. He served as a great example of what a coach should be.

    I thought we did a pretty decent job on the boards. I mean, I was not complaining about that. Julia (Meyer), Liz (Graham) and Gina (Greenwood) all of them hit the boards hard tonight. They put a body on somebody and they were after everything, offensively and defensively.

    I just think everything that has been done has been first-class. And that's why I'm here. I haven't been back here since I left. I got back involved and . . . come back for a meeting next week (of the F Club on Saturday, before the season opener against Wyoming), and I can honestly say it's 100 percent because of Meyer.

    The Siege of Western Civilization has become an international bestseller. One reason is that its host and narrator, Herb Meyer, provides the clearest possible explanation of what the War on Terrorism is about--and of why our armed forces are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Right now, when so many Americans are questioning the war, we believe its message is more important than ever. And we want to give members of our armed forces--and their families--some 'ammunition' to defend themselves against the war's critics. They're the people who are on the front lines defending our civilization, and we've decided that making The Siege of Western Civilization available to them for free should be our way of expressing our appreciation.

    Barry Meyer and Alan Horn are the ideal team to run Warner Bros.. Both are seasoned entertainment executives with the right mix of business and creative savvy. As well as possessing the values that are crucial to the success of our company, they have a profound understanding of what it takes to run a global entertainment conglomerate like Warner Bros.

    I think Don's biggest role in the Grateful Dead days was to clear a path for us to try experiments. You don't know the solutions to live sound problems until you do experiments, and you can't just try them in a lab because you have to figure out what's going to work at a show. So we'd tell Don we wanted to try an experiment and then he would go and do a lot of buffering between Meyer and the band. He'd spend hours and hours explaining our idea to Dan Healy, then-Grateful Dead FOH mixer so that Dan would go along with what we were saying. Don took a lot of abuse for that sometimes.

    Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too cool or too uncomfortable to ask for it.
