I have the hugest . . . overbite. It`s so big, my older brothers and sisters used to call me "Bugs". I looked like a bottle opener. But I`ve never fixed my bite because it`s one of the things that makes me me. I used to get teased about the mole on my left cheek. In junior high the other kids would say, "You`ve got some chocolate on your face", and I fell for it every time. I said, "The minute I turn 18 I`m going to get that mole removed!" But I`m happy I didn`t. My best feature is my big hips. I`ve got some nice childbearing hips, and I feel very proud of them. When I was younger I thought they were too big. I wanted to be slimmer. But now I totally embrace them.

- Eva Mendes

"(My fans) say, `I`ve seen Star Wars and Moulin Rouge!. What else should we try to see you in?` I always tell `em to get The Pillow Book (1996). That would be a bit of an eye-opener for them, wouldn`t it?"

- Ewan McGregor

(on playing Kendall Hart on "All My Children" (1970):) "I seduced my stepfather, and when he wouldn`t sleep with me, I slept with the stable boy, cried rape, and my mother stabbed him with a letter opener. Then I went to jail for perjury, burned my parents` divorce papers, and locked up my little sister. I think that was all in the first week." (New York Times, April 27, 1997)

- Sarah Michelle Gellar

I think the instant communication, which is something to me of an eye opener, is the best possible way to solve crimes and mysteries.

- Robert Stack

A real estate closer. Oh, what`s that? I`m a real estate opener. What is a real estate closer? You mean at the end where you`ve got to sign all those papers?

- Louie Anderson

The opener was really tight. Radek left me hardly any chance to break, but my serve worked well, too.

- Juan Carlos Ferrero

I`m an outsider who hasn`t seen the show from the beginning but watches it sporadically -- although not only when I`m on it. When I was up there (in Vancouver, B.C., where the show is filmed) I was so enthusiastic that I think I watched about seven or eight new shows . I watched two or three from the last season and the two part opener, uncut. I`m very optimistic for their new season and new cast members.

- Robert Picardo

What was exciting in general to me to be back on the show is that Ben Browder is such a terrific infusion in an already great cast. He`s very cool. They let me watch a rough cut of their season opener. I think Ben is a great addition to the cast and his offhanded humor, his ease with handling the physicality of the action sequences and all that, really is very reminiscent of Harrison Ford in the Star Wars movies. He`s really, I think, going to be a boost to a show that is already a success.

- Robert Picardo

a much more well-rounded offense. With the weapons we have, they have to decide who they want to take away (by double-teaming), and we have other guys to make the plays. You haven`t seen it in (preseason) games, but from practice, I can tell you there`s a lot of stuff we haven`t done in the past four years. I`m anxious to see how we do when we throw the whole offensive playbook at them in Kansas City (in Sunday`s opener).

- Wayne Chrebet

Our guys played their hearts out in the third period. I think Traverse City had a little nerves early, but it was their home opener. I`m sure Scotty (Gardiner) expected that.

- Ken Miller

We did some nice things today, ... Ian Rothkopf played well at midfield, and Ben Brown played an outstanding second half. It`s always nice to win the opener.

- Tom Hill

We kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.

- Kenny Smith

The tour was such an eye opener for me. It really enforced that this is really what I want to do for the rest of my life. They (fans) were fabulous. They`re definitely not as quiet as they are here in Canada. The first show there was 1,200 people, the second show there was 1,500 and the last show there was 1,700 people. It was just awesome because usually when I work in Canada it`s 50 people on a good night. It was great just hearing those pops from that many people.

- Shantelle Taylor

We remember what they did to us last season. It`s the season opener against a division opponent that knocked us out of the playoffs, and with what has happened to New Orleans recently, you know they are going to come in here ready to play. We shouldn`t have any problem getting up for them.

- Jeff Mitchell

But I knew that what had happened was an eye-opener not only to the United States but also to Pakistan, who realized that after what has happened on the 11th of September, it was simply impossible to continue to play those games in Afghanistan.

- Allison Barber

If, in fact, Christen is not playing this week, then everybody is going to have to step it up a notch and I know they`ll do that. Last week we had a terrible week of practice and I think that was shown on (last Friday against Central Crossing, which hadn`t scored since the second quarter of its opener and dropped to 0-4). Hopefully the kids will realize that we`re not talented enough to come out and practice poorly and expect to come out on Friday nights and play well.

- Angel Mehta

This year we can get into our three- and four-receiver sets and really get in depth with them. We have 20 or 30 specific things for them, and I`m sure it will be even larger by the time we get to the opener against the (San Francisco) 49ers.

- Anita F. Fernander

Any time you play a good opponent in your opener it`s good to get out with a win. Obviously, we`ve got a lot of things to work on. But the defense made some big plays. With (John) Pemberton, (Michael) Phillips and (Brandon) Walker inside, we`re pretty good.

- Anne Raver

I expect to see Oregon play as hard as they would against USC, ... They have a little something on their shoulder because they lost their home opener last year.

- Arthur Hertzberg

It was tough for the kids. We were glad to play the second half. There`s an awful lot of work that goes into a season opener.

- Arthur Wellesley

He practiced all the way through, and that`s a first. So it`s a good sign. He`s got a chance (to be ready for the regular-season opener).

- Augustine Ruiz

The third preseason game is really kind of the focus point of when you want to hone in on your timing because everybody knows the fourth preseason game is where you`re trying to have some success. But your also don`t want anyone getting hurt before the opener.

- Barney Roling

Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
