I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

What they're really looking at is the long-term implications of this. In the past, there was a decidedly short-term mentality, and basically what (GM) would say is we'll settle so we can meet our quarterly profit projections. That's different today.

Scotty George

What we're looking at generally is whether the market can get past these levels. We think there's enough strong sentiment and stimulus in the pipeline for that to happen and that the earnings will ultimately lead the market, but it's a process, and it's going to take time.

Donald Rumsfeld

What they're doing is they're trying to pretend that they're functioning well, leave the impression that people should give them money, their financiers, leave the impression that they're a viable organization and that they should get recruits, and just generally give encouragement to their people,

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.

Steve Edwards

Peter Gabriel

We wrote a little manifesto with just some ideas on how this digital revolution could transform music-making itself, and that is the part that people have generally ignored so far.

Carol Mann

What happens is that women tend to panic when they're losing it. Whereas, generally speaking, men, rather than panic, go to another place: resignation. At a U.S. Open, panic is worse. Your brain floods, everything slips away, and there is nothing you can do.

He was a person with extraordinary intelligence. But more than that, he was a real civic scientist, one who not only does great science, but uses that knowledge and fame to do good, to benefit society, and to try and educate the public. He had a palpable wish to solve some of the world's problems.

Mark Mann

He's doing better. He got here early today for treatment, he ran on the track, said he felt good. He just has a little bit of palpable soreness, really doesn't have any evident swelling.

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.

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.

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.

Bethany Irwin

We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.

Kevin Cato

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

Nick Vitucci

When we were 12 points behind Wheeling, we never doubted ourselves and always believed we could do it.

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.

David Hall

When it came down to it, I won the points that mattered,

Chipper Jones

We're going to go as far as our pitching staff takes us. It's been that way around here for years. If we pitch well, we're going to win a lot of games.

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!

Ronald McDonald

We're managing to get by. We're lucky enough. We've got transportation. We can go get something. A lot of these folks can't. They're just stuck in.

Paul Sather

What a great soccer game. I thought my kids really deserved it. I thought we had them on their heals most of the game. We didn't have that many chances offensively, but,boy, when we needed it, someone stuck it in the net. What a great feeling to be heading the finals.

Drew Brees

We found something that was working, ... and we stuck with it.

Nadia Petrova

We both were on and off, ... We both had some great points and we both had some bad - a lot of unforced errors. But we both fought hard and stuck to the end.

Your life belongs to you and you alone.

My father once told me, and it's stuck with me to this day: As you walk through life, every time you fart it pushes you forward.

We've also gotten on the field early. Usually we're stuck in a parking lot.

Rose Johnson

When I was a girl, all we knew was this neighborhood, ... The beaches were ?whites only.? So Turkey Creek is where we went to fish, pick blackberries, recreate. Oftentimes you could see old people walking down to Turkey Creek with their cane poles in their hands. Churches had no pools inside for baptisms then?we all walked down to the creek and waited until the crowd got there.

Mike Hargrove

We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away.

Pat Coyle

We're going to play a lot faster. You're not going to see the ball walked down the court any more.

Art Larson

We're going to examine this report and carry on a dialogue with this organization. But we feel that we have walked the walk in being a responsible and environmentally sensitive corporate citizen.

Kobe Bryant

When we all walked in, you could feel their spirits being uplifted, like they felt very encouraged and happy that we were there. It was just real cool to see that. To be able to go back (to New Orleans), play a game there and be able to uplift them again, that's special.

Colleen Stogsdill

When we first walked in there to eat, we fell in love with it. We've been married for 20 years and we'd always wanted to own a restaurant. It had a good location and we live in Canby so that made it really nice.

Peter Shirlow

What has happened over the past seven years of peace process is that ... the unionist community has walked further and further away and presented the agreement as a betrayal of their rights and freedoms.

Andrei Kortunov

Yeltsin's delivery during his oath and the fact that he made no speech indicated that he was unwell, but his bearing when he walked to the podium suggested that the illness was not very serious.

Eric Thurston

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.

Dean Fabrizio

We're going to play a lot of man-to-man coverage. We're also going to play some zone as well. We just want to give him multiple looks.

Scott Gardiner

We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.

Bob Benson

When we get down inside the red zone we have to come away with points, ... There was a little confusion down there. We have some young guys playing on offense ,and the execution is something we need to get better at.

Ken Whisenhunt

What has happened at that position is you have bigger guys who can run a little bit, and certainly when you have a bigger target it makes it a lot easier to find them. People are playing zones and giving you the middle of the field in certain situations.

Lee Clark

We got up on them and killed the clock pretty good. They sat back in their zone and gave us the three any time we wanted it, so why not wait until late into the shot clock to take it. We took good shots, but sometimes the long ball won't go in.

Jennifer Shoaf

With the lineup we had out there, we really didn't feel like we had a choice. Brittany (Powell) and Erica aren't our two quickest players, so we had to play a zone just to keep (Ledford) contained.

Scott Hartnell

With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.

Phil Garner

We're just not getting guys on base, and we're certainly not driving them in when we do. Everybody's frustrated. We've gone two weeks now without really much of an offensive threat. The real problem is that we're not getting the bats in the zone very good right now.
