Richard Phillips

When we can't determine what is art - when you get to that point where we're not sure, that's the greatest likelihood that we're actually experiencing something great.

We've all got lots of different influences. We never sit down to write a song and say, 'This is going to be a Brian Eno type of song,' or 'This is a Bob Dylan song.' It's totally little bits of lots of different stuff that come together and hopefully it's something coming out of us that we're creating.

Jay Foreman

Woody has always been a reference point for me, as well a source of inspiration along the way. I was brought up around his music at a pretty early age, ... The reference in the song relates more to the way my own children have become fans, I guess (laughs). If there was no Highway 61, we may not have had Bob Dylan or Leadbelly .

John Mellencamp

I was one of those guys, you know, playing and singing, and there was no reason for me to write a song, because there were so many beautiful songs out.

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. And I was just like, yeah, George is getting it on. And that's what you want for anybody's performance.

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor.

Some of the models of making a living making music are no longer valid but persist.

Kay Robertson

Families need to have a time when they can cook together. They can eat at the table and you can look eye-to-eye. Phones are put away and there are no interruptions. And what you do is concentrate on each other. Listen to what they have to say, and let them listen to you.

Christopher Cross

Lyrically and thematically, the title 'Doctor Faith', that song is about therapy, psychotherapy, and that song is about emotions and personal insight. I think all the songs on the record sort of go along with that.

Justin Vernon

There's a few times in the past when I wrote a song, and I put the words together, and they were very clear pictures, and I felt like I was putting together a really good story.

Conor Oberst

So much of listening to lyrically driven music is projecting your own feelings and experiences into the music.

It is really positive because it is musically positive, lyrically interesting and probably a side of me people haven't yet seen,

Crystal Bowersox

It's not my concern to make a commercial pop record. I want to make a record of music that I would listen to, that is lyrically rich and has songs that people can relate to - more along the Jakob Dylan route: people who create for the art of it and not necessarily the monetary rewards of it.

Coolio

I'm never doing a new album. I'll probably do nothing but singles. I'm as good as anybody out there lyrically and conceptually and can go toe to toe with the best of them throughout history. But I don't know how much longer I'll be doing it. It's not really fun anymore.

The last record was good but lyrically it wasn't focused - I was writing a lot of the lyrics and I am not the best, ... It was one of those things where I had to reflect on it and this record is all Pete.

Marc Levesque

What we're seeing in terms of currency movements - and it will probably continue at least over the near-term - is a shift in global monetary policy expectations. There's a gearing-down of expectations for Fed tightening, coupled with increased tightening expectations elsewhere.

US Treasuries, particularly long-term bonds, were robust on Friday, when the Japanese market was closed. Some bond investors view the surge in stocks as bubble while some investors take comfort in the view that the zero-interest rate policy will continue even after the Bank of Japan lifts ultra-loose monetary stance.

Shane Oliver

U.S. interest rates are pretty close to the top. By year- end it is quite likely the Fed will be shifting toward easing monetary policy and investors will be starting to wonder about a renewed widening in the Australian and U.S. interest-rate gap.

Gene Johnson

We've always tried to have a good mix of stuff on our albums -- something that's fun, something that's very radio friendly, something that's going to touch someone's heart, maybe even something that's pop influenced. More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration. But all the stuff we were writing down is not going to work on stage. We had to rewrite it so it would work on the stage.

John Deacon

We've always decided ourselves what we wanted to put out as our singles and that sort of things.

John Tesh

When I was lieutenant governor, Jerry Brown was governor and you might recall that he spent just about a year of my term out of the state.

Susan Dunn

We've asked the congregation a lot of different things during this period, getting opinions, because we want the whole body to be working toward the same goals. And we believe that the church should get outside its walls and reach out into the community and meet needs of people that live around the church and in the same town, as well as other places beyond our boundaries.

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.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

Joe Hudak

We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.

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.

Charlie Sands

We've always tried to have the thing that people want.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

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.

Gene Johnson

We've always tried to have a good mix of stuff on our albums -- something that's fun, something that's very radio friendly, something that's going to touch someone's heart, maybe even something that's pop influenced. More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

Greg Maxey

When we went up 4-2, at that point we should've closed it out. We kind of let them get the ball rolling. They played hard. They're a little deeper than us and they had a little more pop in their step at the end. Believe me, I was a little nervous.

Jim Kelley

We're making progress, but we'd still like to see the population get lower. The problem we've been fighting is that they've had two straight years of good reproduction. So it's kind of like taking two steps forward and one back. But we think if we stay with the program we have in place, we'll eventually get there.

Jim Sexton

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

Butch Davis

We're going to survey the hotels and motels in town. There's a real nice shelter at Family Faith Church, ... and we're going to solicit the hotels and see what comes out of it. The hotel population right now is still between 500 and 600.

Gordon Absher

We're going to submit our proposal to the government to evaluate. We're not going to put it out to the public for a popular vote. We have a great reputation. We have a great experience in this business.

Elgin Bayless

When I talked with the state, they said they had most of those records on microfiche. But they didn't have the books for these years and these counties. They couldn't believe that I had them.

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Brian Archer

We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.

Tom Birchard

We're sort of in an unprecedented type of regime here as far as the amount of rainfall we received over the last 30 to 40 days. And some of our records go back pretty far.

Frida Lyngstad

I must have some sort of record in failing to get into the charts.

Tyson Slocum

What we're saying is, look, there's an easy way to pay for it: the oil companies. They've got record cash flows, record profits. Impose a new tax on them, use the revenues to dedicate to these programs.

Lester Bangs

What this book demands from a reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America could write almost nothing but record reviews.

Kacey Musgraves

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

Kendrick Meek

Americans simply ask for, not just Democrats in the House but also the Senate has asked the President for a clear plan as it relates to dealing with the issue of Iraq and our troops and making sure that we can bring families together in the very near future.

Kristen Kinley

When we have seen the fire reports increasing, we have recalled those vehicles and replaced those switches. Ford has used the basic switch design in a large number of vehicles and the risk of fire related to the switch is much different in those certain populations that we have recalled.

Christa Carone

We found some unexpected problems related to our customer receivables in Mexico, which we announced two weeks ago, and we have launched our own thorough internal investigation. We are fully cooperating with the SEC and will be in a position to provide more information when we release second-quarter earnings.

Samah Haggag

We found it interesting that some states that historically have low rates of bankruptcy have high propensities. I think some of it's going to be related to the economic changes. For states to see that kind of difference, some things have changed.

Sanyo President

We believe we have opportunities mainly in environment related activities.

Cisco Systems

We believe we are in compliance with all of the rules and related guidance as they currently exist,

Chris Carlson

We're going to miss her; she brought in the Division I experience. She's young and she really relates to the players. She knows what's hip, so to speak. Career-wise, it's a good move for Alison.

Craig Foster

We believe we have done this in a way that not only rewards players for their achievements at the highest level of the game, but ensures all players actively contribute to FFA's efforts to establish football in Australia as a fully professional and commercially viable sport.

Brian Jaffe

We're excited, we're optimistic, we're hopeful. Hopefully, the rewards are going to be there. The rewards had better be there.

Alan Hansen

The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

Chris Christie

You have to do more than just talk about work. You have to really reward the people who are out there doing it.

Chris Christie

If you're sick, take your sick day. If you don't take your sick day, know what your reward is? You weren't sick - that was the reward.

Chan Gailey

That is a risk. Risk/reward, life's chances. There's always that part of it.

Charlie Munger

The iron rule of nature is: you get what you reward for. If you want ants to come, you put sugar on the floor.

Charles M. Blow

Trying hard and working hard is its own reward. It feeds the soul. It affirms your will and your power. And it radiates from you, lighting the way for all those who see you.

John Bolton

We are prepared to talk directly with the North Koreans to explain what they have to do to come back into compliance with their international obligations, but we will not negotiate with them in a fashion that rewards bad behavior or that is submission to blackmail,

Yale Hirsch

We've always had periods when something came in vogue, ... This is different because of the Internet. It keeps on going and the riches just keep astounding everybody. All the traders that come up today naturally gravitate toward Internet stocks.

Jonathan Maberry

When I was in middle school, the librarian there was secretary for a couple of groups of professional writers. She introduced me to Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, and I became very friendly with them over a period of two years. Both of them were very generous with their time, guidance and advice.

Scott Browne

When we brought out Richard Petty, people started coming up and asking for autographs, ... and we didn't expect that.

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.

Jeff Chirico

We felt it had a character, it had a great story to tell, it had interesting people and it had a rich culture that we thought would make for a great program.

Julia Roberts

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Randy Helfrich

We're going to have all the old members there, playing the songs that were popular during the time frame that they were in the band. We're going to take people through 25 years of Dixie Express in an 8-hour period.

Sean Kinney

We're going to go and play the songs one more time. It seems like the right time, so I figure we'll go out and play a few gigs and see where it goes. I think we might just show up in assorted places in the U.S. in the next few months without much notice and play some clubs and little theaters, and then go to Europe and play these festival gigs. Beyond that, we don't know at this point.

Eric Carmen

When we formed the band in 1970, we set out to try to write great songs like the songs we heard when we were growing up,

Ronnie Williams

We grew up so much we had to limit it to two songs per person.

Andrew Marvell

Ye living lamps, by whose dear lightThe nightingale does sit so late;And studying all the summer night,Her matchless songs does meditate.

Andrew Marvell

Ye living lamps, by whose dear light The nightingale does sit so late; And studying all the summer night, Her matchless songs does meditate.

Brandon Curtis

We experienced a deconstruction of our personal lives. Coming home to a familiar setting and being alien to it created a sense of isolation from the people we're close to. There were all these invisible barriers that were tough to reach through. So we ended up with songs like 'Alone, Jealous, and Stoned,' about how our emotions propel us toward these conflicts and away from the people we love.
