Jack Edison

We found out we can't just be dependent on one or two guys. We needed everyone to make a difference.

Whether it's in practice or during a game, all these guys have stepped up for us.

Andy DiSabato

Benny Hinn

When I taught the little gods doctrine, I was using Scriptures that didn't fit.

Stephen Adly Guirgis

Adam Gollner

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate.

Craig Biggio

Ted Sim

When we were fundraising to go down to the Detroit area, we figured we had to raise $10,000 to $15,000 to finance the trip. It's four nights in a hotel plus all the means.

Butch Davis

Mike Doherty

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Sofia Boutella

When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, 'For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.' So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!

Steve-O

When I was a kid, I loved a heavy metal band called Motley Crue. I was thirteen when they came to my city, and I called every hotel in the Yellow Pages asking for a room by the name of their manager in hopes of meeting the band.

Alan Bersin

What this budget does is express (Schwarzenegger's) best judgment of how all the competing needs of California can be met and in this case provide a very large increase in education funding. What he also understands is that his process requires a long and detail discussion with the Legislature, which he is eager to engage.

Bob Ball

When we benchmark, we take the hard data from the quarterly census of employment and wages. If their method is consistent, this is the first year in some time that we've shown a positive increase. . . . But it does support what we've been saying all along that the economy is booming, booming, booming.

David Sanchez

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

Sam Claflin

When I was in high school, I was a bad singer. I mean, all my early acting was musical theater, and my first ever show was 'Jesus Christ Superstar.' Everyone's familiar with it. I played priest number 3 and sang so out of tune that it's not even funny.

Tom Daschle

When I was accused of being an obstructionist, there was a corresponding, a very significant increase in the number of issues that my family and I had to deal with. And I worry about that,

Ron Brown

We've appointed a committee to look at our needs. We post the meetings and the public is welcome to come and voice their opinion. The public is always welcome. We need to find enough property where we can build as we need. We'll get it done.

What this and other studies like it are showing is that the protection we get from proper diet or supplements often comes from combinations of nutrients working together. This has implications not only for smokers but also for many other people.

Eldrin Bell

When we close on the property the shovels will start,

Erica Mann Jong

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.

Sandy Duncan

What I am being assured of is that service will not change. We will have proper coverage for our Borough.

Pete Witte

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them. We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

Donna Abbott

We bought the property as much for the tree as for the Victorian house.

Randy Honebrink

We've always tried to reduce the number of people getting bit by sharks through education and awareness. We try to get our safety tips out through our Web site and in publications.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Michigan State

When we were driving over here before the game, it seemed like the Big Ten opened like the Red Sea,'' he said.

When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

Larry Lucchino

Tom Werner said this is a happy day for the Red Sox, and I agree. We?re a stronger, more effective and bolder front office.

Charles Lee

We're going to take a careful look at the result to determine if there's any issue. I think that it raises a red flag. We have to look at that carefully to determine if there's something here.

Ray Kelly

We're going to slowly reduce our coverage to what it was pre-Oct. 6,

Mike Adams

We've reduced it significantly ... but I don't think we've stopped it completely.

Larry Brown

When I was a college coach, my dream was to play against Coach Smith in the finals of the NCAA. I always felt it would be a win-win, and I could probably say the same thing for (playing against) Pop.

Bruce Reed

We remain hopeful that Glock and other manufacturers will follow Smith & Wesson's lead,

David Kochman

What he says is careful and correct. The most important fact is that Rod Smith is the only Democrat in this race who has taken not only one, but two seats from Republicans.

Steve Gibson

We believe we're doing things the right way and in Steve McClaren we believe we have the manager who can deliver. There are good reasons why he was taken on by Jim Smith and Sir Alex Ferguson and why he's Sven-Goran Eriksson's No 2.

Kim Fields

Working with Will Smith was one of the highlights of my career. He is so talented and has a tremendous work ethic. We are still friends, and I reach out to him and his partner to pitch ideas. He loves my mother. In fact, my mother was his son Jaden's acting coach for the movie 'Pursuit of Happiness.'

Carter Canada

The point is, am I going to let Mary Smith and these other nice, older women be sent out of here thinking they'll have a voucher for the rest of their lives, when Congress is looking to cut the program? They're going to be in Miami somewhere, and they'll be homeless. That's why the fight is going on.

Tom Donald

Unquestionably, Kyle Smith will be one of the best players I've ever coached. Even more importantly, he's a better human being.

Mike Riley

We struggled defensively early, but the one stable factor that came back to us is our run defense. It's obvious that Alvin Smith and Henry Anderson and Trent Bray and Keith Ellison played big, big roles for us in that area.

Niki Tsongas

People say, 'What if your name was Niki Smith?' Well, if Niki Smith lived the life I've lived, it would have great bearing.

Mark Twain

When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive. An old farmer spoke up and said if they stopped building the schools they would not save anything, because every time a school was closed a jail had to be built.

Mary Matalin

What he did was not an irrational thing. This was a very close friend this happened to. Everyone was shaken up about it. When I spoke to him, it was all about Harry, worrying about him.

Andrea Phillips

We both really wanted to go to London but I also wanted to go to Italy. My husband not being keen on Italy, we finally chose Paris because it's supposed to be such a romantic city and because we both already spoke a bit of French.

Jim Livengood

We're aware of the situation with Hassan Adams. I've spoken (with) head coach Lute Olson and we've decided to delay any further comment, or provide any reaction, until Monday.

Chaim Weizmann

Einstein ... always spoke to me of Rutherford in the highest terms, calling him a second Newton.

Morgan Wootten

It's amazing the things you hear from your players talking to them one on one. I never embarrassed a player, I spoke with him alone.

Mayor Newman

The people who spoke before, we do have a record of that, it's sworn testimony. Unless they have something brand new to say, we really need to limit (the public comment time). We don't need any philosophical comments. It has to be pertinent to what's being requested.

Mac Maude

We spoke with them all before we drafted them. Earl (general manager Nicholson) made sure of that.

Jerry Rogers

We spoke with more than 50 financial institutions and each of them gave PCS top marks for customer service, conversions and system capabilities.

Dean Baker

We've backed ourselves into a very dangerous situation. The economy is dependent on everyone consuming like crazy. If everyone heard my diatribe and said, 'Yeah, we better start saving,' the economy would go into a recession.

William Doherty

We've asked for this for a long time. Starting this summer, I want to see you all on it. I know I'll be riding.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Scott Walker

We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Natalie Purcell

We've always had good second halves, but we always start slow. It was nice to have a good first half.

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.

Ken Macha

When we were trying to pick a fifth starter back in camp, it was between Saarloos and Etherton, and we weren't quite sure which way we were leaning. So we went to Kendall, and he was adamant about Saarloos. That's what clinched it.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

Morris Peterson

When we were off to our 1-15 start I think that's when they did the poll.

Paul Johnston

We've apparently struck a reasonable middle ground and will continue to try to meet the needs of all the authorized purposes.

Phil Garner

What hurt was, we struck out for five of the last six outs, ... We didn't put the ball in play, and we had a guy on third base. And that's what hurt us.

Susan Campbell

The other thing that's always struck me is that the kids in very little day care had scores that were very low,

Bill White

We believe that the most reasonable interpretation that you'll be able to draw from the evidence is that Courtney had come into the room and had seen this struggle and had turned around to go back to the back of the house and was struck once in the head and fell.

Terry Pendleton

We struck up a conversation right then like we'd known each other for years. Since then, it'd been that way.

We struck a fair balance. We feel we've been fair with all our customers.

George Postolos

We stand ready to honor the bargain we struck with the sports authority, and we hope and expect that the sports authority will do the same.

Tom Jurich

We spent many years in the same league with Tulane and Southern Miss and still consider them members of our family, ... Many of our fans visited New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast while we were competing against those schools and have been struck by the images of the devastation in those areas. I hope this can help.

Laura Mvula

My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction. By the time I turned 15, I had plucked up the courage to ask if I could join the group. Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed.

Lance Armstrong

We've always had parties or celebrations on that day. It was just a way to do something for a city that has done a lot of things for me. We're basically saying thank you for all the support.

Juliette G. Low

When I was little, people fattened and then slaughtered their own Thanksgiving turkeys.

Yolanda King

We're missing her like crazy, but we're just so thankful that we had her as long as we did. She's been released and we feel so strongly that she has reconnected with our father.

Adam Gollner

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?

Chris Linsley

We're so thankful that we've been able to have what's a speedy recovery.

Brent Nelson

We're so thankful for the nurses, the caregivers, the doctors they have shown so much kindness and respect.

Mitch Kupchak

We're sorry to have to let Slava go even though it was unlikely that he would've been able to play the rest of the season because of his injury. He's been a positive addition to us for six years, including helping us win two championships. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well.

Mike Thomas

We're so excited and want to thank everyone who voted for us. It's a humbling experience.

Keisha Castle-Hughes

Thanks to a lot of people, not just myself, 'Whale Rider' had an amazing impact emotionally, and people remember it. I count myself very lucky that all those doors were unlocked, I just had to open them.
