This is key to their very ability to do business.

The more downtime we have, the more time you have to play games like 'Ghost Recon Future Soldiers,' so for me it's a fun way to get integrated into video games and for me to have fun with my buddies and team up and go into battle with 'em, kind of like out there on court.

Ben Mendelsohn

It's a tougher gig than what people think it is. The proper, real, genuine, worldwide movie stars don't get a lot of downtime from the world outside. That's a tougher price, I think, than what people's fantasy of fame account for.

So I keep singing my song.

Leigh Foreman

We are proud to play even a small part in helping our industries provide emergency shelter for the victims of this tragedy. It appears that most of the shelters ordered by FEMA have now been produced, but we do expect to see some carryover into 2006. In addition, industry sales in 2006 may increase due both to the need to replenish dealer lots that were depleted while manufacturers diverted their production capabilities to filling FEMA orders, and the permanent rebuilding of the hurricane-stricken areas.

Mark Shapiro

We are looking forward to him again filling a crucial role in our bullpen.

Arndt Ellinghorst

We grew up with them. Two summers ago it was like the most wretched thing you could smell on a hot summer's day.

Jill Soloway

We grew up watching Woody Allen and Albert Brooks movies, and we see this neurotic, annoying, unlikeable male at the center of a story, and people root for him anyway. I think that's really what we have been craving as women is the hero who doesn't look perfect and doesn't act perfectly.

Charles Koppelman

We grew up watching gangster movies. We wanted to make a film that people would quote to each other like 'Diner' and 'Godfather,'

Curt Hecker

We appreciate the concerns for adequate downtown parking. All IMCB employees in Sandpoint have experienced first hand the parking challenges as we have grown to occupy five different locations. Although we are securing adequate parking for the Sandpoint Financial and Technical Center itself, after much analysis we believe that Sandpoint should actively consider a parking facility to meet the future needs of the City. Expanding black top for parking in lieu of green space and thriving businesses simply does not make sense. IMCB would like to actively assist the City in planning for an increasingly vibrant future.

We restate our condemnation of the loss of innocent lives, Palestinian and Israelis, and we call upon the occupying power to do the same.

Elizabeth Warren

You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Elizabeth Warren

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.

Jeff Greenfield

In the many-mansioned house of Alternate History, I occupy a small corner. The trio of what-ifs I chronicled in 'Then Everything Changed' all begin with tiny, highly plausible twists of fate that lead to hugely consequential shifts in history.

Ahmad Chalabi

We have no evidence they have been killed in that attack. We know at least that Qusay, his son, has survived and he is occupying some houses in the Diyala area,

Stephen Richards

Nobody is ecstatic about it. It's ugly, it occupies or will occupy a piece of our property, it commits us to having it there for a long period of time. On the other hand, it would be a source of income ... and it does provide a service to the community.

Mako

I was a very happy child, so to speak. But, since we didn't have video games or television, and very little radio, in terms of a form of entertainment, I used to read a lot and I would draw a lot, and those two things used to occupy my time.

Tony Pulis

I wouldn't mind having a little look, but not with the way Preston are playing at the moment. They're playing three up front, with one down the middle. There's no way I'd waste three players marking one. Usually the two wide players will occupy the full-backs, and then you'd be left with only one centre-forward and three centre-halves marking him.

Jim Sexton

We're making a b-to-b play out of a very popular consumer brand.

Adam Thierer

What they want to censor, what they want to regulate are the most popular television shows, ... We're mistaking the will of the PTC for the will of the public. ... It really is a form of censorship.

Rob Johnson

What's so special about Danica Patrick is that she's a racer, not a novelty or pr gimmick, ... She was under tremendous pressure the entire month of May in Indianapolis and she came through with flying colors. She's paid her dues and now is getting the attention she deserves. Her growing popularity with race fans everywhere is a great boost for the league and we look forward to seeing her in August with Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon and the rest of the stars of the Indy 500.

JC Chasez

With *NSYNC, we shopped our deal for a year in America, sang a capella in everybody's office, then moved to Germany for almost two years and became popular there. A guy representing a rock band came to our show in Budapest, saw 60,000 people get excited for a band from America that nobody in America knew, and told someone at RCA.

Al Alvarez

Mass democracy, mass morality and the mass media thrive independently of the individual, who joins them only at the cost of at least a partial perversion of his instincts and insights. He pays for his social ease with what used to be called his soul - his discriminations, his uniqueness, his psychic energy, his self.

Cherrie Moraga

When you are not physically starving, you have the luxury to realize psychic and emotional starvation.

Charlaine Harris

Chang-Rae Lee

I'm more interested in the psychic intricacies that they build up and try to run away from, and how they self-construct. A lot of my work is about self-construction. Here, it's those folks who are deeply wounded and bewildered. They're not just victims of trauma; they've been shaken so forcefully that they don't quite know how or where to stand.

Chang-Rae Lee

Do not discount the psychic warmth of the hive.

Camille Paglia

Despite crime's omnipresence, things work in society, because biology compels it. Order eventually restores itself, by psychic equilibrium.

Camille Paglia

We live in a period of declining stars. Few celebrities these days (aside from the smoldering Angelina Jolie) seem to have complex psychic lives.

Carl Jung

Complexes are psychic contents which are outside the control of the conscious mind. They have been split off from consciousness and lead a separate existence in the unconscious, being at all times ready to hinder or to reinforce the conscious intentions.

Carl Jung

Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Dwane Casey

We're more in an attack mode, which creates rebounding lanes and a little bit more space where his man has to help. He can get it, catch it and has a little more room to operate.

Mike Hess

We're going to really start getting into the assembly of the space station in very short order here, and I feel like this spacewalk set the tone for what's about to come.

What they're really developing is equipment to do a rational space station and a Moon programme later,

Megan Duffy

We both wanted to celebrate senior day with a win, and I think we were both a little off, but that's why you have underclassmen stepping up for us. It's nice to see.

Mike Cox

We're just 14- and 15-year-old guys playing against juniors and seniors, and these guys are just stepping up. Most kids, not mine, but others I think would falter.

Mike Meeks

We're just real excited about our track team this year. Our kids competed well in some tough conditions. We have a lot of young kids on the teams who will be stepping up and they performed well today.

Brittany Hunter

We're getting better and it's been a gradual (process) and it's been obvious to us. It's one thing if coach says we're getting better and we're getting better and no one notices it. But as a group, we realize we are getting better at this, this and this. People are stepping up. It's not always consistent. Some people will falter, but as a group, in general in practices and in games, everyone is slowly coming together.

Jim Hoffa

We refuse to wait any longer for the government to rule on our challenge. We are stepping up the fight against these regulations that put Teamster drivers at greater risk.

Nica Burns

The Perrier is about helping to discover new talent. In years to come, this generation of young comedians who are stepping into the spotlight will be setting the heather alight.

Nica Burns

The Perrier is about helping to discover new talent, ... In years to come, this generation of young comedians who are stepping into the spotlight will be setting the heather alight.

Matt Smith

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.

Mike Moore

We're not about breaking the law, so we're not about wildcat strikes or anything like that. We're professional educators, and we'll act as such, even though we're not treated as such.

Charles Rangel

Hurricane season routinely strikes the Caribbean harder than the U.S.

Drew Brees

We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.

Mark Helprin

The thing that strikes you most about being a soldier in a war zone and in action to the small extent that I was, when actually people start shooting, which happened to me a couple of times, everything goes on automatic and there's a feeling of tremendous elevation and even elation.

Carlos Zambrano

I enjoy when I strike someone out. I enjoy when I do my job.

Bryan Procter

Despair doth strike as deep a furrow in the brain as mischief or remorse.

Brenda Davis

When I talk to Mark I have to constantly remind myself that he's just 13. And the Clearly family truly needs this blessing.

Katie Aselton

I'm not super nostalgic for friendships I've lost along the way. I feel like, if they were truly meaningful and really special, they would still exist. I think we grow and change, and that's okay.

Katie Aselton

What I get really excited about are movies that I connect with emotionally. 'Deliverance' was on TV, and they don't really make movies like that anymore, just simple and scary. The truly scary thing is, 'I'm going to threaten your life, I'm going to threaten the people you love. What are you going to do about it?'

Elaine Elliott

What they really proved is that they absolutely belong, this is truly a Final Four team. We're so proud that the Utah name is going to be up there with the best of them, forever enshrined by what they've done.

Marianne Williamson

When we are truly aware of our spiritual glory, a varicose vein or two is not that big a deal.

Marcia Wieder

When we are doing what we love, we don't care about time. For at least at that moment, time doesn't exist and we are truly free.

Kevin Drew

When we handed this record in, it confused a lot of people, even within the band. That's what I love about it -- I just find it this big, beautiful mess. Sometimes, albums should be experiments, and people who truly understand us know that's all we were doing from the get-go.

Jay Feaster

What has happened in the past is truly ancient history. Now the objective is to come in here and have a solid training camp. ... We can't afford to get caught up in the hype. It's about having to do it again. You can't rely on what you did 18 months ago.

Jillian Messenger

We are getting better ever game. The other coaches are telling us that, the umpires are telling us that, that we're coming around and we truly are.

Larry Wachtel

We remain in a stimulus vacuum and the underlying motif this week will be the Federal Reserve meeting next week.

C. Northcote Parkinson

The vacuum created by a failure to communicate will quickly be filled with rumor, misrepresentations, drivel, and poison.

Casey Kasem

Success doesn't happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.

Jan Karon

The standing fields [ready to harvest]were the legions who hadn't filled their God-vacuum with the One who was born to fill it; the standing fields were those who waited for someone to reach out and speak the truth, and tell them how they might be saved.

John Updike

The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen. Whereas Christian religion is retreating everywhere and losing more and more influence; film has filled the vacuum and supports us with myths and action-controlling images.

Sean Carroll

With vacuum fluctuations, we have to distinguish between evidence for the existence of the fluctuations, and for their energy.
