And buying the extra 30 days is going to make all the difference in the world.

Chelsea Peretti

When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind.

If you only watch her on the red carpet, you don't get a sense of what a legendary standup comedian she is.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Tim Salmon

When we were coming up, it was kind of a retooling thing and we were filling in with whatever you could fill in with. (Now) you've got a good ownership that's not only going to allow those guys to play, but they're going to bring in the pieces and make it competitive and allow them to win.

Philip Goodhart

We've always had a broader cultural coverage, particularly in the last three or four years We have short stories in every issue. We have more of an interior life. Perhaps the mistake was not to make more noise about that in the earlier issues.

John Mack

We're going to get some reality back in the market.

Ellen Galinsky

What this finding reflects is the dissonance of today's reality and yesterday's old ideas. There's the assumption that family for women detracts from work while for men it supposedly enhances their viability and stability.

Tom Tucker

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. You see names of fathers and sons and brothers and the reality sinks in that basically whole families were wiped out trying to help people. But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

Rick Dickson

We're going to line up some professionals -- counselors. The reality is just setting in for all of us. We didn't have the benefit of looking from the outside in.

Michael Epstein

Unless the show is a period piece, shouldn't they have reflected the new reality that baseball has returned to D.C.?

John Thompson

We're getting contributions from 10 guys on a regular basis. Scoring is great, but you have to get some rebounds and have guys buying into defensive schemes.

Jim Coyne

We're getting close to making our vision a reality. It's exciting to be on the cusp of opening our doors to the public. We're right on schedule.

John Beilein

When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.

What hurt us the most was missed key rebounds and easy baskets.

John Thompson

We're getting contributions from 10 guys on a regular basis. Scoring is great, but you have to get some rebounds and have guys buying into defensive schemes.

Brian Katz

We're getting better. We had 34 offensive rebounds in two games last week, and I told the guys if we continue that we'll be hard to beat.

We're beating ourselves. If you give up 13 offensive rebounds and don't control turnovers you just can't win.

Don Showalter

We struggled at free throws all year long. In the end, our kids stepped up and got some huge rebounds for us.

We didn't cover the slot. A lot of goals were off of rebounds or passes in front of the net. We have been on the fortunate side a few times this season, but you can't think any game is going to be an easy game.

Rahshon Clark

We let them get a lot of rebounds that we should have come up with that were real crucial.

Larry Eustachy

We have to get our game onto the court and not play into their hands. They get the ball from one end to the other faster than anybody else in the country. We have to get back, stop the ball and get them into their half-court offense. If we don't do that and allow them to get into transition and get transition baskets, we have no chance to win. If we do stop them, that's the key. We have to get the long rebounds which cost us against Houston.

Justina Machado

When I was in my 20s, I used to go crazy. I used to work out two or three hours a day, like cycling; I was never anorexic, just picky. When I was in my 30s, I'd go back and forth, now that I'm 41, I'm like, 'Whatever, man!' For the most part, I just do a regular workout.

Peter Gallagher

When I was a child, nobody I knew of ever became an actor or entertainer - it was just not something that seemed possible for regular people.

Colin Trevorrow

We're so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about.

Mike Gillespie

We're sort of set with a regular lineup. We think that lineup has done well for the most part. It's tough to take any of those guys out.

Bobby Bowden

Manny Acta

We're going to play to win, but as managers we also have the responsibility to have these guys ready for the regular season.

Trevor Thomas

We're going to play 11 or 12 kids pretty regularly early. We'll be looking at which combination works out best for us, and we'll move from there.

Kent Beck

Organizations want small changes in functionality on a more regular basis. An organization like Flickr deploys a new version of its software every half hour. This is a cycle that feeds on itself.

Kenny Ortega

Patrick Swayze reminded me a lot of Gene Kelly. Patrick had that Everyman quality. Gene made dancing sort of an accessible idea for the regular guy out there.

Greg Nasello

We've always struggled to score goals. That's why it's been so exciting to see the girls put these type of games together.

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.

Joe Papin

Tomorrow we have even a tougher task. We are probably going to be facing a stronger team. We have to play for three periods no matter what the score is. You would think being 14-0 I would be happy, but right now I'm not.

James Adams

We're starting to feel like every time we step on the field nobody is going to score on us.

Alex Smith

We're so close, and sometimes the scores may not reflect that, but we're so close to being competitive in this league. There's a lot of things we're doing better now that we weren't doing at all earlier in the year. Coach always says it's a marathon, not a sprint, but that's the truth.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

Laura Paro

We're going to go game by game right now. But our first goal is to score more goals this season.

Kevin Connell

What we're hoping to do is win our division. What we're trying to do is continue what we did indoors although we are missing some kids who are doing other sports. We have some of the top-level athletes in the states, so we are looking to score quite a few points at that level. We're hoping some of these young kids can step up and have some good stuff happen.

Jim Gaylor

When we weren't scoring early in the game, Drew kept us in it. We made a few a plays there for him. He mixed his pitches well. He's a competitor. He's not an overpowering guy, but he's got good stuff.

Theo Brunner

We're more balanced scoring without Evan in the lineup. Everyone stepped up for us tonight and we're still a good team without Evan. Other teams don't recognize that and we just need to show them like we did tonight.

Fred Thacher

We're starting to click at the right time, and I think that's key. We've got five kids on the floor at all times that are capable of scoring in double digits.

Jay Trousdale

We're getting there. But I'd like to see even more consistency from out bench and more scoring from everyone on the floor.

Keegan Bradley

To flight approach shots lower with the scoring clubs - what I consider my 7-iron through wedges - I stand two or three inches closer to the ball than normal.

Jim Bolla

When we attacked their pressure we were fine. But 75 percent of the game, we let their press bother us. When we played around with their press, we got into our scoring area with 10 or 12 seconds left (on the 30-second shot clock) and we had to rush a shot.

John Schweitz

When we closed the deficit to two points, however, we were unable to take advantage of our scoring opportunities.

Rod Barnes

When we can go inside to Curtis, he's good at scoring with the basketball. I've really focused this year on our offense. We're a little behind on defense.

Scott Coval

When we had 70 points, I thought if we could get the game into the 80s, we'd have a good chance. We were going up and down and then we stopped scoring the last 21/2 minutes and we ended up with 70.

Marco Trbovich

We've always said there aren't too many steelworkers, there are too many steel companies. That's been our position for several years.

Henry Hyde

We're meeting with each other, trying to coordinate the managers, we have several as you know, and each has an assigned task, and we're busily preparing our remarks and trying to time them and make sure they are coherent and comprehensive, ... So, just the usual preparation for a trial.

Heather Dougherty

We remain enthusiastic about the start of this holiday season, as several categories saw substantial revenue increases. The growth in 2004 holiday revenue suggests that consumers are shifting more dollars to the Internet this season.

Fred Hassan

We remain determined to become a high-performance competitor for the long term -- and over the past several quarters we have made steady progress toward that goal.

Steven Campanini

We resolved several big issues involving the company that many people thought would have been the end of the company.

Brenda Zaun

We're going to try it. So far it's gone well, but we should know (if he will survive) in several weeks.

Ray Smutko

We're going to stick a tree trunk in the ground, with about 6 feet sticking out. The Gatlin gun operator will spray across it several times and try to cut it in half.

Wendell Brown

We're going to ship them to a Nazarene church in Mobile, Alabama. There are several evacuees heading to Mobile, and we're providing some support when they get there.

Erik Autor

We're going to monitor this situation very carefully over the next several months. This is a case where what happens in Washington can have as much effect on cargo as what happens on the docks.

Katie Montgomery

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

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.

Steve Matlock

We've assembled a team of dedicated, energetic people whose experience and enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled. With these talented leaders in place, La-Z-Boy is in for an exciting ride.

Mike Turner

We've always tried to play all of the good teams. If we're going to be one of the good teams we've got to play the good teams.

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.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Rick Spring

We've always set team goals. Making 100 points in a game isn't one of them, but if it happens it happens.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Josh Sims

We've always known that we can play with some of the best teams in the league and score.

Nicole Miller

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling. The doctor on the ship could feel that my right side was weaker. They told me something was going on, but that it was not a medical emergency and that it didn't matter if I went off the boat that day or in four days.

Tom Pecora

We're getting there. We still haven't had a night where everyone is playing their total A-game. But that's OK. I'm hoping that happens next weekend.

Rick Johnson

We're going to get serious. We've been playing around with this for too long, ... It's gotten totally out of hand.

Wayne Jackson

We're going to face a totally different team than South Lenoir faced, ... After a week of practice, Kinston has a player saying, 'I'm the man running the team.' We're going to get their best shot, I'm sure.

Kim Moore

We're going to enjoy this win for the moment, but I told them to come in Wednesday and be focused because Thursday is a totally different game.

Marc Touati

What we're seeing now is a total reverse in what everyone expected ahead of the euro debut; retailers understood that the euro would add new pressures for competitiveness, so they chose to push prices down to attract customers.

Pepper Schwartz

What this does is try to narrow it down so you spend less time with people who are totally out of the question. We're just upping your chances.

James Harrington

What they're doing is totally illegal. You cannot stop and question and search people without a search warrant and probable cause.

Eddie House

What they're doing here (at Charlotte) is totally different than what we're doing. We're in first place. We're looking to try to win a championship.
