David Cook Quotations

Therefore I would ask that any member of the public who has got any information that would assist us as to the whereabouts of Mr Hardy to contact police.

When it warms up, they really take off.

We were concerned about having adequate patient protections in the bill. But we felt this legislation had sufficient physician oversight.

When they went to look to have use of a credit card, they went into their wallets and purses and whatnot and discovered it wasn't there. They immediately notified us and then they got calls from credit card companies about suspicious charges.

She was released this morning, she's talked to her father and she's fine.

She is worthy of respect, being such a courageous reporter and remember who did what to whom.

No accommodations were made to allow the large public to attend this meeting. It is my belief all motions and recommendations made at this meeting could be deemed moot.

I have a hard time figuring out how building a massive expansion to the Wal-Mart will help your downtown retailers.

He's had two outstanding years and done exactly what I've wanted him to do,

Jail overcrowding -- that's what's driving everybody's car.

I think, with Hurricane Rita coming on the heels of Katrina, people are going to realize this isn't just a once-in-a-lifetime thing,

Jill's voice broke as she told the staff how she had been overwhelmed by how wonderful the paper had been.

Our people on the ground say it's unclear if it's related or not.

We know our journalistic colleagues will understand why we need to exercise great care in commenting on Jill's situation.

We'll have a better fix on how she's doing when we lay eyes on her, which we hope will not be too much longer.

We're not shading. We're not hiding. We're just saying what we know. And to our knowledge, no one was paid by anyone.

We played well. We got off the ball well and had a good first half.

We're doing this to keep Jill in the minds of the Iraqi public, so that if people were to see her they would know who she is and could help her.

With the Chiefs, you can't live in Kansas City and not like the Chiefs. To go catch a game at Arrowhead is a pretty great experience. I haven't had the chance to go to games anywhere else, but, from what I'm told, I don't really need to.

Alcoholism is a well documented pathological reaction to unresolved grief.

If you wanna know the truth, you make or break my day. If you wanna know the truth, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Enjoy the experience, don't just experience the experience

It's amazing what a haircut and forgetting to shave will do.

I fell in front of the SYTYCD dancers. I was tryin to do the twirl, and I bit it...pretty hard. Then Michael Johns made fun of me, and...

I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.

I think the future is whatever I'm willing to make it.

I always believe that every song tells a story, so the last thing I want to do is edit out like the meat of the story. I would pick songs based off a), whether I felt like I could do anything with them, and b) whether I felt like I could keep the story intact. And then you sit in with one of the piano players and one of the vocal coaches and kind of work out your arrangements that way.

I'm admittedly a record guy. Singles and I are a different beast. I'm definitely an overall picture thinker.

It's amazing what a spray-on tan will do.

Some of the best rock shows I ever saw were those appealing to all your senses.

I'd always wanted to grow my hair out. And now looking back on those photos I understand why I probably shouldn't have...

I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance.

I spent a majority of my life in Kansas City, so I am a Chiefs and Royals guy. I used to work for the Royals for like five years in the suites department and in the stadium club restaurant.

I never want to play a show where it feels overly programmed, processed, and all that. For anybody that comes to one of our shows, the goal for me is to make sure that's their show. That nobody else is going to see that show ever again. You know what I mean? I try to make it different every day.

The further you go on the show, the larger the budget gets. But in the beginning they were just like, "Here's a hundred bucks in L.A. Good luck."

I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.

I got to play with ZZ Top and introduce Bryan Adams and George Michael. And to have it all topped off by me winning 'American Idol?!' It's pretty absurd.

I actually got to write with one of my musical heroes, a guy named Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace. I got to sit down and write some songs with him, and that was pretty heavy. I listened to Our Lady Peace growing up. It got me through the teenage angst.

I'm competitive to a fault, so of course every week I'm just like, "I want to win, I want to do great."

There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater.

I live for Tuesdays, and die by Wednesdays.

Life has a strange way of working itself out

I knew at the time my haircut was pretty damn god-awful, so I was just hoping that I wasn't one of the joke ones. And they put me through to Hollywood and I thought, "Well okay, maybe I'm still one of the joke ones but at least I'm not terrible?"

I will never shy away from embarrassing myself for a good cause

My brothers are my backbone. My parents are my oxygen. I can't live without them.

If you can't do anything about it, laugh like hell.

The good news is she's alive, and we're grateful for that. She looks somewhat strained as we would expect.

We've had a lot of people come who are not happy about dogs and have asked for more enforcement.

We're taking every step we can think of to take. It seems so unjust that someone who has been such a careful, unbiased, sensitive reporter could be murdered for that kind of public service.

We look like a band of vagabonds with our ladders and pickers.

We expect them to have an indefinite run.

The seniors on our team have had a little rivalry with Morgan from fifth grade. We always joke about playing Morgan in the state championship game. I guess this is as close as we're gonna get, but it'll be fun.

Texas is a great place to do a track. You've got good weather year-round. It's a good location. Texas has a lot of energy. People are progressive here.

The Monitor is undertaking strenuous efforts on Jill's behalf, taking advantage of every opportunity we have at our disposal. People at the Monitor are working on this night and day in a variety of cities around the world.

There's a lot of flatland in Texas and in the northern part of the state.

All people who know her know she's not a hot dog, she's a serious journalist.

Everybody has heard about David (Tuck). Everybody knows him as a skinhead around here.

Everyone is praying and hoping that he gets better. He's a good friend. Nobody is going to be the same after this. It's all going to be different.

It's time for big-box retailers to start to do the right things by their employees.

I had a difficult time understanding it. I'm not a bookkeeper.

If you look at the nature of the crime that has taken place clearly the person responsible for this matter must be treated with extreme caution and considered to be dangerous,

In practice these are at times negotiating stances rather than fixed deadlines.

How do we make people be more responsible? That's No. 1.

I asked them to show mercy and justice. I explained that Jill is an innocent person who is only a journalist. I asked them to return her so her family and her friends and her colleagues could be with her again.
