It's such a challenge. A show like this is almost like a rite of passage that you have to go through as an actor. It's technically difficult because it changes each night.

We felt Brandon would have some opportunities in this game. He needed to take advantage of them and he did. He's been playing at a high level and he's been a tremendous spark in every football game we've played.

We felt at the time of the initial offer that there was no way they'd be able to do it as cheaply as we do it ourselves, but out of fairness we went through the process and let them work the figures out,

If you want to build the condos, that's fine, but to get rid of a cultural asset makes no sense. Don't destroy these buildings indirectly by leaving only the facades. It's a hypocrisy to say you want to preserve the history to then gut the buildings.

We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people. So many people here were not raised in the cultural South, and they have pretty stereotypical ideas about what Baptists are like.

They had huge stockpiles but didn't raise their prices after the earthquake, although believe me, otherwise they would raise prices any chance they got.

They are coming off a big win at Florida. It will be a difficult game for us. They are very versatile. They are big and athletic. They can go with a small lineup and use four guards.

The earthquake has had tragic consequences for hundreds of thousands of individuals and families. As a company with a longstanding commitment to Pakistan we appreciate the opportunity to provide some assistance to the victims at this very difficult time.

Even though the Swans have been there for over 20 years now and really built up a loyal following, AFL on television does not attract the sort of audiences we would like, ... We would just have got killed if we went in any earlier. We are putting it on at 10pm, which is not what I would call late, but we would get hammered if we put it on live.

We are such docile creatures, normally, that it takes a virus to jolt us out of life's routine. A couple of days in a fever bed are, in a sense, health-giving; the change in body temperature, the change in pulse , and the change of scene have a restorative effect on the system equal to the hell they raise.

Security, for me, took a tumble not when I read that there were Communists in Hollywood but when I read your editorial in praise of loyalty testing and thought control. If a man is in health, he doesn't need to take anybody else's temperature to know where he is going.

We grow tyrannical fighting tyranny. . . . The most alarming spectacle today is not the spectacle of the atomic bomb in an unfederated world, it is the spectacle of the Americans beginning to accept the device of loyalty oaths and witch hunts, beginning to call anybody they don't like a Communist.

To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year.

It is easier for a man to be loyal to his club than to his planet; the bylaws are shorter, and he is personally acquainted with the other members.

Much of our adult morality, in books and out of them, has a stuffiness unworthy of childhood. Our grown-up conclusions often rest on perilously soft bottom.

Although there is no permanent advertising space available on the scoreboard, Mr. Robinson or any other business or non-profit organization is welcome to buy time on the plasma screen.

A lot of the location decision related to what I did in the hotel business. Although I didn't have to decide where to build those hotels, I did have to decide who my market was.

The other players did not testify before this committee, ... We are asking for these results in the context of Palmeiro's appearance before the Government Reform Committee.

It's not strictly true to say there was only minor damage to refineries. When you sit down you can see about four million barrels per day of refining capacity is down as a result of Rita and Katrina.

We're adapting a lot of material, but we're also doing a lot of very specific material to the various cultures we're targeting.

Traffic is not an immutable force. When faced with less space to drive and more places to walk, people will alter their behavior and walk more, drive less.

Usually I object when someone makes overmuch of men's work versus women's work, for I think it is the excellence of the results which counts.

When Ossie wrote 'Purlie,' he knew it would open doors that were usually kept closed. Sheldon made it clear to those of us who had certain characters that pushed the envelope that we were to take them to the edge. And sometimes it's difficult to get to that place.

I have yet to see a piece of writing, political or non-political, that doesn't have a slant. All writing slants the way a writer leans, and no man is born perpendicular, although many men are born upright.

Fasten your seat belt -- peak hurricane season isn't until mid-September through mid-October, and we've had two hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast already.

To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more difficult with every year

I was a little nervous going in, because it was my last time starting the season like this. But once I got out there, I felt real good.

Holiday spending can be difficult enough to budget for at the best of times, without the bill creeping up by way of these hidden charges. It is possible for consumers to reduce the amount they will pay in fees, or avoid paying them altogether, if they take a little time to research the credit card market before going away and make sure that they are packing the right plastic.

Seniors are scared to death with the inordinate amount of information, and they are intimidated by the penalty if they don't make a choice by May 15.

Security is different in different cultures as you go around the world. In some countries, a good security system may be a dog behind a fence.

To this day it still bothers me because I can hear it in my nose. I can hear a little bit of the nasally thing. I remember that time was very difficult for me. It didn't affect the fate of the record, but I can still hear it.

Anytime somebody wants to sell an adult product, they're going to get a lot of complaints, ... It's our duty to comply.

Our culture tells us that alcohol and sex go together, yet it is illegal to use alcohol to facilitate sex.

It took two hours before I got a ride. I felt like a stranger in my own town.

For 30 years scientists have suspected that gene regulation has played a central role in human evolution. In addition to lending support to the idea that changes in gene regulation are a key part of our evolutionary history, these new results help to define exactly which regulatory factors may be important, at least in certain tissues. This helps open the door to a functional dissection of the role of gene regulation during the evolution of modern humans.

I had to get up at 6 a.m. and try and figure out what to eat and what clothes to wear. I felt good the day of the race. My legs felt good and my energy felt good.

I think the strongest argument for the government is, if the death penalty is not appropriate for someone who had a hand in an attempt to undermine the entire American system of military, industry, and government, then who is it appropriate for?

The results frankly were a shock. We can see human fingerprints all over atmospheric methane emissions for at least the last 2,000 years. Humans have been an integral part of Earth's carbon cycle for much longer than we thought.

In the quick-serve restaurant industry, our success rests on our ability to motivate our staff, streamline our operations and empower our employees. The applications that run on our Cisco IP phones are helping us maintain our unique sense of culture and improve our communication capabilities. I never imagined a phone would have such an impact on my business.
