Gene Edwards

Years ago, when I was doing the show Southern Expressions, Scott had just come to work here. Scott was the shooter for the event.

What a game and what a win. We worked hard in tough conditions and deserved our win I thought.

When we were down 2-0 tonight, we were playing pretty well. The third goal was not very well played by us. The kid was out front all by himself. We dug ourselves a hole, that?s the disappointing part.

You don't know what to think. You don't know what to do. You just do what you're told. You're getting yelled at from all different directions. You're being pushed and shoved everywhere. You just follow whoever's in front of you, and do what you are told. You don't really think about anything.

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.

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.

Rachel Tucker

When I was in the running for the role of Elphaba, I knew it was important to research and study as much background information as I could, so I got my head stuck into 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire, and I believe I lost many days, weeks, and months reading it - I was captivated!

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously.

Lisa Whiting

What 15-year-old hasn't felt like that at one time or another? With all the evidence, I can't believe they're willing to call this a simple runaway based on one page in her dairy and something a friend said. She was mad because she couldn't go to a winter formal dance with her friends.

Jan Adams

We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and other government watch lists. And we succeeded in doing so by making public hundreds of pages of documents that not only confirmed the existence of the 'no fly' list, but exposed many of the serious problems with the secret list. Only by informed public debate can we make our government accountable and our country safer.

Rich McCoppin

We're going to hustle and we're going to field solidly this season. I believe that we're also going to hit better. We still have some baseball things to learn.

Clive Davis

Unplugged debuting at number one is yet another amazing milestone achievement for Alicia, ... That makes it three in a row -- three out of three. You just can't beat that! What makes it extra special is the live format of Unplugged for the true musician -- the public really has to be passionate about the artist and the music to buy the album in these numbers.

Jacque Jones

Where I came from, they were passionate about baseball. We probably didn't draw as many (fans), but through thick and thin it was like 'Let's go. We can do it. We can do it. We know you can do it.' This is something I have to get used to and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is.

Ryan Holmes

When you think of technology that gets people excited - long lines at stores, enthusiastic reviews in the blogosphere, passionate evangelists - the first thing to come to mind probably isn't thermostats. Then, along came Nest.

Kim Davis

We're going to find the best books for Pasco County. I'm not foreseeing any issues.

J. Hoover

What this country needs is a great poem. John Brown's Body was a step in the right direction. I've read it once, and I'm reading it again. But it's too long to do what I mean. You can't thrill people in 300 pages.

Shawn Wayans

We grew up in the Garbage Pail Kids era with the Wacky Packs. We miss that kind of fun we used to have when we were kids, flipping through the packs and chewing the gum and reading the funny little jokes.

Lori Leveen

We bought a small house in Boston and we got it set up and had everything perfectly arranged until we realized we really only had one seat in the house that had sufficient light for reading and every night there was a battle of who could race to this chair faster with a reading book and I was always losing being the smallest. So we really started a quest to look for an ultimate reading light.

Emily Smith

What's not to like? I love fantasy books. I love magic and dragons.

Hideo Kojima

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

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.

Jerry Stanley

We respond to all sorts of calls: fire, rescue, assist, medical. I have a love for it.

Ed Stewart

We're sort of waiting by the phone to hear what they decide.

Paul Kantner

Jeff Bezos

We're standing behind the transaction with our own pocketbook,

Linton Brooks

We're standing at the threshold of a new era in high-performance computing.

Keiji Fukuda

We're speculating on something I don't know the answer to. We just don't know that, because we haven't established that there is that transmission. But it is unlikely that you would be standing around a chicken and get the influenza virus that way.

Cass Sunstein

Wikipedia works because those who know the truth are usually more numerous and committed than those who believe in a falsehood.

Adrian McKinty

On my Wikipedia page, it used to say I was born in Belfast, Ireland, then it said Belfast, Northern Ireland, and then it said Belfast, U.K. So there was a little war going on about where Belfast is located.

Sarah Koenig

If he could go back, choose another career, my father would have liked to have been an environmentalist of some kind, which is why he'd really like to be remembered for something almost nobody knows he did: naming Earth Day.

I go on Wikipedia and alter pages of animals with fake facts that I've made up about those animals.

Matt Mullenweg

If you think of the ideas of open source applied to information in an encyclopedia, you get to Wikipedia - lots and lots of small contributions that bubble up to something that's meaningful.
