10 QUOTES WITH «PRO»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word pro.
1
Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I thought it only natural and right that my clients should reward those members who saved them such substantial sums with generous contributions. This quid pro quo became one of hallmarks of our lobbying efforts.
2
Jason Alexander
One of the downsides of being a poker pro is that people see exactly how you play.
3
Kurt Angle
Pro wrestling is not fake; it's sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we're not going to insult anyone's intelligence - there is a predetermined winner. It's just the fans don't know who it is, and that's what makes it so intriguing.
4
Kurt Angle
Pro wrestling was there, and I was good at it, thank God. I started getting a lot of offers, but unfortunately, at WWE I was under a tight leash. I think it had a lot to do with The Rock making the transition, and me possibly being the next guy - you know, the company didn't want to lose another top performer.
5
Stuart Appleby
I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.
6
Aaron Ashmore
I'm getting to be a real pro at coming into things midstream and trying to catch up.
7
Dave Bautista
Drax isn't your average stereotypical soldier/warrior/musclehead. He actually has some depth. It was a character that I wanted to play, not only because I love acting so much, but also, I needed to play to get people to actually take me seriously as an actor and get away from the pro wrestling label.
8
Jon Bernthal
I played baseball in college, and then I went to Russia to study acting and played some pro ball over there.
9
Jackson Brundage
I kind of wanna be pro basketball, pro skateboarder.
10
Natalie Coughlin
I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro.
