When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well.

Dennis Phillips

We're going to pay user fees for water and sewer and it's my understanding the burden of extension lines will be on the shoulders of the developers, not the city,

What's pushing the BBC is they see this as an expansion of their public service remit. We see ITV Local, and broadband, as an opportunity to access new markets.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about. We don't begrudge him bringing in Eastern Bloc friends, but I suspect that the cowboys down at the coffeehouse in Delta are more interested what the candidates have to say about water and health care than whether or not the president of Poland is backing you.

Bill Richardson

We're going to talk about positive issues. We're not going to be bashing the president at every turn, ... Fox News Sunday.

David Jones

When we finally decide on who our president is, and on the day when we realize the economy is so weak that that new president must cut taxes, and he can't do it because of a divided congress and all the animosity that comes out of this agonizingly long presidential election, the dollar's going to be in trouble.

Kathleen Wynne

I do not believe that the people of Ontario judge their leaders on the basis of race, sexual orientation, colour or religion. I don't believe they hold that prejudice in their hearts.

David Popenoe

What they picked up on is the difference between the red and the blue states. What accounts for all these differences? It's a mix of religion and ethnicity and class and so on.

Mary Madden

We found that online daters had access to a wider pool that could help them find a better match. They could search for people and focus on niche interests like religion affiliation. They also had a sense of control in an arena where a lot is left up to chance.

Ellen Johnson

We're getting reports of how some religion-based 'aid' groups are trying to fly evangelists into the stricken areas and how U.S. Army chaplains are carrying bibles -- not food or water -- to 'comfort' people,

William Shakespeare

The love of heaven makes one heavenly.

Alan Hovhaness

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through; and that is a mighty difference indeed.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past; it takes prophets to interpret the present.

Chief Joseph

We respect the pharmacists' rights to hold personal, moral, religious beliefs, but they can't allow those beliefs to get in the way of serving their customers.

Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this issue. No church or minister should ever have to conduct a marriage that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs. But I think as a civil institution, this issue's time has come and we need to move forward.

Eric Rothschild

We're fighting for the 1st Amendment, the separation of church and state, and the integrity of schools. This trial should decide whether a school board can impose its religious views on other students.

Alan Bleasdale

I've got a group who can't play music, one bad comedian plus boyfriend, a nervous breakdown calling himself a magician, two coachloads of 70-year-old religious maniacs looking for a fight and a fancy-dress contest that nobody knew about.

Alan Alda

I dont see we can have a separation of church and state in this government if you have to pass a religious test to get in this government. And I want to warn everyone in the press and all the voters out there: if you demand expressions of religious faith from politicians, you are just begging to be lied to. They wont all lie to you but a lot of them will. And itll be the easiest lie they ever had to tell to get your votes. So every day till the end of this campaign, Ill answer any question anyone has on government, but if you have a question on religion, please, go to church.

Al Purdy

I'm not religious in any formal sense, not in any God sense.

Al Smith

I believe in the support of the public school as one of the cornerstones of American liberty. I believe in the right of every parent to choose whether his child shall be educated in the public school or in a religious school supported by those of his own faith.

Al Smith

I can think of no greater disaster to this country than to have the voters of it divide upon religious lines.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Eli Juarez

When we were down by 19 I'm sure people left to go watch the other game. It came down to earning some respect. We decided to go out and leave everything on the floor. I think the kids earned that respect with their effort.

Tom Jordan

When we were asked to go down there and help, the city only had four hours to make a decision, ... They said at the time that they couldn't send the men or the truck because of budget constraints and I respect that decision.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Nicholas Burns

We remind the Burundi government and security forces that respect for human rights and peaceful dialogue should be key elements in their efforts to re-establish security in the country.

We remain ready to cooperate with the U.S. (officials) in accelerating a (WTO) panel provided that they make clear that they are abandoning the unilateral route and respect the rules and procedures of the WTO,

Tommy Franks

We're going to continue to engage Afghan authorities on this matter in order to help seek accountability for any violations that may have occurred.

Jeremy Nichols

We feel the district court was wrong. Our interpretation of the law is that a water quality violation is a water quality violation and can't occur. But we're still seeing water quality violations up at Pole Mountain.

Kenneth Smith

We want to send a signal, particularly to the U.S. Congress, that we believe that there should be a cost for the U.S. violation of international trade rules.

George Harleigh

We're talking about a basic violation of the Constitutional guarantee of a free press as well as a violation of the rights of privacy of American citizens. I had hoped we would have learned our lessons from the Nixon era. Sadly, it appears we have not.

Laurence Tribe

Nothing in the 14th Amendment or in any other constitutional provision suggests that the president may usurp legislative power to prevent a violation of the Constitution.

Max Weber

The modern view of criminal justice, broadly, is that public concern with morality or expediency decrees expiation for the violation of a norm; this concern finds expression in the infliction of punishment on the evil doer by agents of the state, the evil doer, however, enjoying the protection of a regular procedure.

Stu Jackson

We're not going to suspend him immediately. We will make him aware of the violation and tell him to clean up his act. If he doesn't, we'll take further action.

Donald Rumsfeld

would signal the Iraqi regime that they can continue their violations of the U.N. resolutions.

Jim Price

We're still in the early stages of the investigation. We'll look at all the dynamics of the crash and look to see what if any violations occurred,
