My job is to be the bench coach with the Rays and help this team succeed. If another opportunity arises, I'd welcome the opportunity.

I have a quad rep in my house, so I'm doing bench presses and pull ups on that, any sort of basic strength movements I can do at home.

I feel as long as I'm playing productive minutes, I'll play. But if I'm sitting on the bench and not doing anything, then I'll retire.

I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.

The school-room sends men to the Legislature, to the bench, and the executive office. The bar-room sends them to the scaffold and hell.

None of us want to live in a society where people are forced to sleep in shop doorways, on park benches or in dangerous, run-down buildings.

It killed me being on the bench and watching my teammates play. I wanted to be out there helping them win. But that gave me more motivation.

The hard necessity of bringing the judge on the bench down into the dock has been the peculiar responsibility of the writer in all ages of man.

If I've got a good pinch-hitter, I hate to have him stay on the bench with men on the bases in an early inning. He may end the game right there.

I can't keep sitting on the bench and letting my life go on, smoking a cigar and not doing anything. It's not me. I want to be playing football.

It was frustrating when the managers would change; you'd go to the bench and try to work your way back into the team. But it makes you stronger.

Being grumpy at not playing is part of the job. If I see someone who is constantly on the bench smiling and laughing, then that's no good either.

In my seaside town, there is a plethora of benches, each one bearing a little brass plate commemorating a deceased occupant. You sit with ghosts.

I'm known for wearing tweed jackets, khaki pants and suede shoes. I've only worn a suit in parliament under duress, when I was on the front bench.

My kitchen bench is covered with vitamins and protein powders. I go through phases when I'm sure I'm taking too many - but I don't get sick often.

You sit on the bench in the Premier League for one week, you could be playing for the rest of the season if the No. 1 at that time had a bad game.

To keep your job, you fire others or bench them or trade them. You have to do the thinking for 25 guys, and you can't be too close to any of them.

I don't want to be known as a super sub. But you have got to be ready to come off the bench and make an impact if you're not in the starting team.

If I am the best, I am capable of saying it, but if I find the others better, I am also capable of shutting up. And staying on the bench. Full stop.

It is not a problem to sit on the bench: absolutely not. When you have three games in a week, and you don't play, though, you have to think about it.

When you're at Manchester United there are a set of demands, and one is to be a team player, and I don't think anyone has been on the bench more than me!

The notion is tough guys challenge the bench and skill players never do. I'm considered a skilled player, but I don't carry myself like a skilled player.

I had a good time at Liverpool. They were great lads. The manager had his reasons to keep me on the bench, and at the same time, they were on a good run.

Sometimes to rest, even to watch your team-mates from the bench, is not too bad. It is part of the game and you try to be fresh when you come on the pitch.

When I was growing up, my dad didn't have weights, so he made himself a weight bench. Instead of a hand-me-down jacket, it was a hand-me-down weight bench.

I used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-twenties - I used to bench press over 300lb. The most I ever lifted was 330lb; I couldn't do that today, no way.

I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.

One thing that changed when I moved upstate was that I became interested in different materials. I started making the stone benches because I was seeing rocks.

Justice Scalia was a lion of the law. Agree or disagree with him, all of his colleagues on the bench shared his wisdom and his humor. And like them, I miss him.

There were times when I'd bench players for their lack of effort. We worked very hard on fundamentals, which was the Dodger way. We needed to be more aggressive.

I got offered a short-term contract at Oldham, to sit on the bench. I was living on my mate's sofa while I was there. But that's what you've got to do to get by.

I was really short in high school. I was stuck on the bench in the baseball team, so I just thought I'd try out theater, and that was the last time I did sports.

Benches and books have things in common beyond the fact that they're generally to do with sitting. Both are forms of public privacy, intimate spaces widely shared.

I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.
