When I was mixing the album I was just cheering it on, ... I was actually getting to put myself in a position of observation of listening to the band, watching it, experiencing it probably closer to a fan thing than I've ever had the ability to do, or that I've ever let myself do.

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate. Africa isn't a land 'where nothing ever grows' and 'no rain nor river flows.' And how are lines such as, 'Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you' supposed to be helpful?

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

Colin Farrell

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Tino Reyes

When we were getting pretty close to signing him, he called us from one of his maneuvers. I asked him, 'Where are you guys?' He said, 'Up north.' I said, 'Where up north?' He said, 'The Arctic Circle.' That was different. He e-mailed us a picture from there. He had his parka off.

Justine Bateman

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence.

Randall Godfrey

We're going to hang tough. The majority of it is mental. Once you start winning you get confidence going. You can't get used to losing.

Colin Trevorrow

We're so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about.

Peter MacKay

We're going to go after the Hells Angels, not Ducks Unlimited. This idea that you can somehow create an atmosphere around people who are already respectful of the law and superimpose this blanket (handgun) ban as a solution -- a one size fits all, cookie-cutter approach -- is an absolute abysmal failure. It's publicly misleading and it doesn't drill down into the real problem.

Dusty Baker

We're going to fit him in right away.

Gary Cole

We're going to find the best fit for us.

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Howard Schnellenberger

We've always had little receivers, but a big fast guy is always better than a little fast guy.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

Tim Salmon

When we were coming up, it was kind of a retooling thing and we were filling in with whatever you could fill in with. (Now) you've got a good ownership that's not only going to allow those guys to play, but they're going to bring in the pieces and make it competitive and allow them to win.

Jill Malko

We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.

Rich Miller

We've always said that's probably the widest mound in the league ? and maybe all of baseball. I really think the mound is too wide. That ball by Heintz was hit hard and then it hit the side of the mound. But that's not what lost us the game.

Chris Lynch

We've always reached the hardcover buyer more than the paperback buyer.

Bob Morton

We've always known the destructive powers of hurricanes. The difference now is that we have that much more information. It's that much harder to ignore.

Mitchell Hurwitz

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. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Jim Crumlish

When we were losing, going into practice every day was tough. You go in every day to practice knowing that it will be brutal. And when you are losing, it's that much worse. You don't get to see the benefits of all your hard work, as you do when you're winning.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

When I was little, people would ask what my favorite color was, and I never knew. I find it's really hard to make decisive 'best' answers on what the 'best' of something is.

Troy Dolan

When I was a freshman, I didn't wrestle as well here as I thought I could. I looked up at the stands and saw lots of people.

John Schuerholz

He was an absolutely outstanding pitcher in the role he took on last year. We tried hard to get him last year for our pennant run and again this winter. Our people evaluated him as one of the top guys in the business in the role he's now doing.

Buck Martinez

Nathan is a guy that has been in pennant races, and we have a lot of confidence in him. He's a hard thrower, throws lots of strikes and has the ability to close out games, so we think he will fit in well with this bullpen.

Mike Scioscia

I think it was a terrific effort against a good club and considering the circumstances of being in a pennant race.

What he does a good job of doing is throwing strikes and getting ground balls. He got a lot of ground balls today.

Donald Rumsfeld

We believe we are now able to carry out strikes around the clock, as we wish.

Carl Hunckler

With two strikes, that was a big homer. Anytime you see a guy do that with two strikes it's a plus.

When we go to the basket and get in a situation where they have to foul us, we shoot pressure free throws very well.

We gutted it out, handled pressure and made free throws at the end. We've got guys with a lot of character. When you make a state tournament run, you have to have kids who make plays.

Mike Hayes

We got what we wanted. They missed both free throws and we had a chance to get the rebound. If we had gotten it and scored with 30-35 seconds left, it's a two-possession game.

Scott Bisbe

We brought Olivia in. She throws a little harder (than Seymour) and she was hitting her spots.

Gordy Presnell

We fatigued a little bit and didn't execute. Against a team like that, we've got to play perfect basketball. You have to make free throws and can't have any unforced errors.
