When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases.

Bill Evans

We're going to miss all of the good things he's done for us. I think he's been a classic overachiever. Because you're an overachiever doesn't mean you're not a good player. But he's certainly maximized his talent, which I think is a tremendous compliment.

William Shakespeare

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind, when body's work's expir'd: For then my thoughts-from far where I abide- Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, And keep my drooping eyelids open wide, Looking on darkness which the blind do see: Save that my soul's imaginary sight Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, For thee, and for myself no quiet find.

Alan Ball

I'm not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there's going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what's going to happen. I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Tony Haynes

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

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.

Dale Martin

We've always wanted to go. We're hoping to get away from it all. Now that the kids are gone, it'll be a little easier.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Kirk Salvo

We've always had kids from all over come here. This program has been a magnet for good wrestlers from around the state, but our link with the Navy Juniors program has been pretty good for us the past few years.

Diane Sollee

When we were saying it doesn't matter in the '60s and '70s and '80s, we didn't have the experience of enough kids in a culture when families were breaking down. It was just our best guess.

Lisa Randall

When I was in school, I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.

Andrew Buchan

When I was a kid, I always had a big thing for Dannii Minogue. Initially I liked Kylie, but I quickly moved on to Dannii. There was always something more alluring about her. I think I actually wrote to her asking if we could meet.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

Dannel Malloy

Whenever people say, 'You should be president,' I say, 'I thought you liked me.' Listen, I thought being mayor of Stamford was a wonderful job. Being governor of a state for a period of time is a wonderful job, and I'm not sure I'm at all attracted to Washington.

Garth Brooks

When we had hot lunch in elementary school, I liked those biscuits they served. You could smell them about an hour before lunch.

Anna Olson

When we went to the representatives and the governor, there was understanding, but there just wasn't the appetite there for it to happen this year. We listened to that and pulled back from that arena.

Chris Cornell

When I was maybe nine years old, I listened to the entire Beatles catalogue, non-stop, for about a year,

Norman Blake

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. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'

Georgie Fame

When I was a kid,if you were lucky, you listened to that music on Radio Luxembourg or the American Forces Network.

Omar Sy

When I was a boy, my older brothers listened to Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool and the Gang. When I would try to get into their room, they would close the door and say, 'You can't hear that. It's not for a child!' Now, I can listen to it and enjoy it.

When we decided to give this reunion a go, I hadn't even listened to 'Entertainment!' in more than a decade,

Michael Hirschorn

We're most impressionable when we're 12 to 24 years old, so that what we wore, what we watched, what we listened to has greater import at the time, when you had yet to be distracted by things like jobs and families.

Rebecca Asman

We've always had animals around. We have always loved animals, and wanted to help them.

Natalie Cole

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Matthew Broderick

When I was little I used to see Godzilla all the time on TV, ... I just remember him knocking things over, which was fine with me. I loved monster movies and disaster movies, and this was a good combination.

Michael Keaton

When I was in improv workshops or doing stand-up or writing comedy with others, or just doing comedy, I just laughed. Funny was funny; I loved to laugh. I always liked people I found generally funny.

John Carpenter

When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein,' 'The Creeping Unknown,' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet,' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally.

Heber J. Grant

When I was a child, next to my own mother, no woman that ever lived took as much interest in me, gave me as much motherly advice or seemed to love me more than did Sister Snow. I loved her with all my heart, and loved her hymn, 'O My Father.'

Dee Bradley Baker

When I was a child, I thought I was going to be a paleontologist because I loved dinosaurs. I loved monster movies and sci-fi, and then 'Star Wars' came out, and I was completely out of my mind with that, with 'Close Encounters,' and then I thought maybe I was going to go into special effects makeup, which I thought was awesome.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

Jonathan Mayers

We've always tried to reflect people's diverse music collections. We don't want to dismiss our core in any way, but . . . as great as Widespread Panic has been to us and has been a really big part of what we've done, we can't have Widespread Panic every single year.

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.

Jon King

When we were younger we were all trying to score points. But as musicians all we wanted to do was to make something that sounded great, and we became obsessive about it.

John Tesh

When I was playing piano, it was like, 'I'm going to write a song using all the white keys.' My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good.

Mike Curb

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.

Michael Bolton

When I was invited to sing with Pavarotti, I had about two weeks to learn Italian.

Pauley Perrette

When I was in N.Y. bartending, I was in a billion music videos. I was in Madonna, George Michael, Salt-n-Pepa - it goes on and on.

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!

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. And because their faces had evidence of age: lines, dark circles, and half-lidded eyes, it made that confidence so rebellious. And that was incredibly attractive to me.

Andrew Shue

When I was in high school... I had to measure up to my older brother, who is an Eagle Scout. And that's not a good thing.

Omar Sy

When I was a boy, my older brothers listened to Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool and the Gang. When I would try to get into their room, they would close the door and say, 'You can't hear that. It's not for a child!' Now, I can listen to it and enjoy it.

Dennis Hastert

Tomorrow we will pass a pharmaceutical plan that takes care of the neediest in our society, ... Older Americans deserve financial security and health security.

Robby Wine

We're going to solidify a lineup. There was a lot of things that went on last weekend. We just wanted to see what guys were made of. We realized that some of the freshmen weren't quite ready yet, and I think in the same aspect, we have some older guys that maybe started wondering where they stand with the team.

Bob Stoops

We're going to give Rhett Bomar a chance to start and see where he takes it. By no means am I sitting here saying that Paul Thompson is responsible for the way we played Saturday. That's not the case. We had a lot of guys, mostly older guys, play as poorly as I have seen them play. We feel Rhett deserves the same opportunity that Paul had.

Craig Moore

When we first got into foster care we said there was no way we were going to adopt. We told all of the case member right away we are just here to help out, but we adopted the first one, then the second one and so it got to the point that every time we were going to hold a family meeting, our older kids knew what we were going to say.

John Thompson

What happens when you push the old guys out and put the young guys on the bench? These guys aren't getting a formal education or an informal education. The older guys are getting pushed out for the younger guys, but there's no one to teach them how to carry themselves.

Brian Setzer

When I was a kid, I found out about Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent through the Beatles and the Stones doing covers of rockabilly songs,

Yorg Kerasiotis

We're so influenced by Motown and the mid-'70s and the rock sound Detroit had.

Brian Scott

We're going to focus on exciting/up-tempo rock n' roll show. I'm excited, the kids are enthusiastic and I couldn't be happier with their work.

Mig Ayesa

What they're doing here in Rock Star:INXS is revolutionary. No other band has done anything like this before and I think it's a very, very smart move.

Dan Kendig

When we came back out on floor, we had five gymnasts who took that time to rock and roll and that was fun to see. Then we went to vault and rocked there with five great vaults to seal the win.

Andrew Bogut

When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don't get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks. That's the problem with us. One thing happens to us (defensively) and we turn it over or take a bad shot on the next possession and it all collapses.

Neil Shubin

When we got back into the lab, we removed the rock from the bone, and we began to find some really significant stuff.

Daron Malakian

When we first started the band here in LA, Janes Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and wed get put into that category even though we didnt fit. Its funny that now theres bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing thats kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now. That may be closer to the truth, but I think Hypnotized is going to go further in terms of getting people to understand what were doing.

Tom Smith

When we first got together, the idea was to go out and have fun and play rock and roll. We just go out and do our best and the most important thing is to have fun. It's infectious. When we're up on stage having fun, then the crowd is having fun, too.
