“It's been tough for Fred this year because of the thumb; he's been in and out of it. He played great in the first two games, and I wanted to give him the opportunity to start and play a real significant stretch of minutes. We struggled to get him the ball (Saturday). I have to do a better job of putting him in a position where he can attack the basket and make plays. He wasn't able to do that, that's his game.”
Rick Carlisle
“That's a big memory and pretty ironic. Marco was in for Fred and he makes the big play that got us back into it. When I got back on the field, I was like 'Why'd he throw the ball?' But thanks for throwing it.”
Wayne Madkin
“Obviously our team runs a little smoother with Fred on the court. He did a good job of playing with those fouls.”
Jeff Boogart
“Fred has to be the guy that makes (Heath) make and take tough shots.”
Dale Layer
“Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.”

“...someone might slip dragon dung in it again eh, Perce?" said Fred. "That was a sample of fertiliser from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face, "It was nothing personal!" "It was," Fred whispered to Harry, as they got up from the table. "We sent it.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“He [Mick Jagger] moves like a parody between a majorette girl and Fred Astaire.”
