Deborah Lewis Quotations

We're lost, not knowing what the next day is going to bring.

We had to make a call early on about what the mood would be like, how the VIP guests, the ones the sponsors want to be affiliated with, would respond to this disaster.

There was a point last week where I was having conversations with film and celebrity management people in Los Angeles.

Most locals understand, but some don't. The reason why we enjoy the lifestyle we do is because of our tourism-based economy, ... I think it stands to reason that that's why visitor centers exist in any community it's that you hope to have that kind of a sales impact on a visitor coming through to get them to stay a day longer.

I think our ultimate goal is to try to get people to come off the highway who normally may have just gotten gas, or maybe have just had lunch at Redstone, ... If they see our center and say 'let's drop in and see what else we can do,' our hope is that we'll be able to talk them into a full day stay maybe an overnight and increase our tourism revenue for our community.

If you come to my house, you'll see Mohegan posters, banners, key chains.

It's to make people aware how much stuff can accumulate.
