Keegan Bradley

It's such an advantage to be able to hit short irons low on command. When it's windy, you'll hit more greens. But low shots are a great strategy in calm conditions, too: The less time the ball hangs in the air, the less time it has to stray off line from the flagstick.

Kenneth Fisher

Environmentalists should like fracking for its relative cleanliness. But they don't.

Ultimately, good technology with a cost advantage will win out over paranoia.

Gary McClure

You don't like anybody to beat you too much. I don't have a long memory. And as an athlete, you can't have too long of a memory. You've got to move on.

We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense.

I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.

It was an event. It's so different today.

Fredrik Modin

When we are on and when we're playing well, everybody feels that confidence. But at times we have had problems staying with it. But we do have stretches when we pay attention to the details and play well and we have that confidence.

Vince DiLorenzo

They are coming clean on how meaningless his evasive 2003 testimony was.

I don't really pay attention to what other teams are saying publicly. I don't know how much you really can say. There's no reason to tip your hand. You put that much time into it, it's kind of crazy to kind of just give the information away. Much like ourselves, everybody's evasive at this point. There's no advantage to doing that. You're not going to trick anybody into thinking you're going to do something. ... You have a lot of friends throughout the league but at this time of year you don't really have too many friends.

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!

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Rich Miller

We've always said that's probably the widest mound in the league ? and maybe all of baseball. I really think the mound is too wide. That ball by Heintz was hit hard and then it hit the side of the mound. But that's not what lost us the game.

Josh Sims

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

John Gibbons

You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.

We're maybe not so physically strong. It doesn't really matter in the Champions League but maybe in the Premiership we have suffered a little bit for it, but I think in Europe we look really sharp. Unfortunately, we have not been able to cope with the physical side and we have suffered from that. In Europe we have been allowed to play more football.

Seth McClung

We're major league pitchers. It's one-and-one, you understand. You want to get ahead. You have to play common sense-wise." ()

We're going to the Super Bowl to win it, not to just be there. This is one of the great moments in the whole history of the league and I've been around a long time.

Allison Maire

We're going to take it day to day and team by team as far as how we're going to play. We have very good base runners and a lot of power this year. Hopefully when league play starts we'll be able to keep it going. Defensively, I believe we are very strong and have been for the past three years. We know what to do and when to do it. But we're even more disciplined this year.

Joe Browne

We're going to take into account the status of the relief and rescue efforts in Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast and apply league policies and precedents in as much of an extent as possible. NFL teams play their games outside their home stadiums either in another NFL city or in a city in their home territory. There is no precedent for playing any games in a non-NFL city.

Jon von

We've always stood up well in comparison with our competitors in technical tests but users disliked that they had to pay $39 and that we had ads. We decided to eliminate these obstacles in order to attract users.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Ken Henderson

We're making less money now than we did 30 years ago. If they have to pay more, they're going to have to cut back somewhere else.

We remain confident we will continue to see an increase in wages if we can successfully bring in more companies that pay higher wages. Our ultimate goal is to get ahead of inflation.

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Dennis Phillips

We're going to pay user fees for water and sewer and it's my understanding the burden of extension lines will be on the shoulders of the developers, not the city,

Bill Smith

We're going to pay it one way or another. We think paying based on what the actual costs are over a 5 percent difference is a good way to do this. It's not that we're unconcerned; it's just the price of doing business.

Jay Jacobs

We've asked the facilities division to give us some information, what they think is reasonable that we could expect this to cost.

Paul Johnston

We've apparently struck a reasonable middle ground and will continue to try to meet the needs of all the authorized purposes.

John Paquette

We've always said part of the reason for the repeat matches is for television.

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.

Rivers Cuomo

When we were putting the album together and finishing up the artwork, I didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and I told everyone that. I told them, 'Let's commit to this year, and see what happens,' ... And that was one of the reasons why I put that quote in there, because I thought it's a really nice way to say goodbye, if it is a goodbye.

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.

Flip Saunders

Tony is a high-energy guy, and that's one of the reasons that when he became available, he was somebody we really wanted to look at. We thought he gave us a different dimension from what we had on the roster.

John Pickett

Tomorrow we've got a big labor number coming out and that may give someone a reason to get back in the market or to continue to get out.

We remain fundamentally bullish on gold . . . for the very simple reason that there is growing disdain for currencies generally.

Lance Armstrong

We've always had parties or celebrations on that day. It was just a way to do something for a city that has done a lot of things for me. We're basically saying thank you for all the support.

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.

Cedric Redmond

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Kevin Stallings

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

Joseph Altuzarra

We're making clothes - we aren't saving the world. I'm not saying that designers aren't artists, but at the end of the day, we make clothes. Hopefully we make beautiful clothes with a message, but in the end it's for people to wear. I think that the hype of fashion has come down a level.

Fred Matua

We're going to take what they're saying and just go with it. We believe that we're the best. They believe that they're the best. What we say over here is, 'The fourth shall set us free. The truth will be told.' Let's go play.

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.

Herman Edwards

We're going to get a good football player. Last time I checked, I had a saying a couple of years ago that you play the game for one reason and one reason only. Right? That hasn't changed for me. You play to win.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tim Graham

We've always kind of made an agreement that our sub-varsity teams wouldn't leave the area. We might go to Shelton or Elma with our C-team, but we won't go to Tacoma.

Eric Patterson

We've always gotten off to good starts. We've always beaten the teams that we were supposed to beat. Now, we need to get that big-time victory. That's what we're still waiting for.

Katie McMahon

We've always competed against D-I teams in our division. Now we're playing big name East Coast schools and we're getting more recognition. However, the team is not eligible for the playoffs for another two years.

Nick Montepara

When we were thinking this through, the emphasis was on what solutions we could enable that would allow us to provide our customers with greater convenience and greater comfort when they?re shopping our stores. We spent a lot of time working with the various businesses before we even touched the technology because I felt it was important not to get confused by any preconceived limitations of what technology can do.

Karen Stewart

When we were in Waveland, we were thinking about how we could help folks. We wanted it to be more than that we went to Waveland for two weeks to help. We wanted to say that people outside of Mississippi care about them and believe as they do that they will rebuild.

Annette O'Toole

When we were first together, he said, Nobody's ever called me Darling. I said, I can't believe that - I could just cry thinking about it.

Chuck Gillingham

When we went to interview her, she almost canceled. But she had been with her daughter that morning and was thinking if, God forbid, something happened to her daughter that someone would come forward and do the right thing.

Allan Ray

When I was on that floor and couldn't see anything, that was one of the first things I was thinking about, I'd probably be blind. I thought I was. I couldn't see anything. Everything was burning. Pretty much, my life just flashed in front of me.

Phil Klay

When I was in Marine training I memorised 'The Waste Land,' which was a significant experience in terms of really breaking apart language and thinking about how the different voices in that poem function.

Tim Whitehead

We respect the advantage it will be for them. We're not going in thinking it's just another game at a neutral site. We know we're up against it here. And we have a respect for the challenge. But we understand it can be done. We've done it.

Henry Hazlitt

Give me the clear blue sky above my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking!

Frida Lyngstad

I like to think of myself as being fashion-conscious without being a slave to fashion.

Kelsey Lavender

We've always had that problem. Throughout the year, that's what we've been fighting. We've tried to cut down on turnovers and, obviously, we didn't do that once again.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Andy Reid

We're going to see how he does here in the next couple of days and how it reacts to treatment. It's that same type of pain that he's had. It's going to flare up. It's done that throughout his career and it's going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.

Bryan Hilferty

We're going to operate simultaneously throughout the entire eastern and southern part of the country so we get inside the decision cycle; so we hit them before they can hit innocent men, women and children,

What they're doing has happened throughout history. It's the natural life cycle of a conglomerate.

Alex Young

We would ultimately like to have a warning system throughout the solar system so we could know when these storms will occur.

Kimberly Cordero

We found it was a hoarding situation of items including clothing and food and there were cockroaches throughout the house. We worked with the family and said they had to clean it up more over the holiday.

Anthony Zinni

We grow up in a culture where accountability, learning to accept responsibility, admitting mistakes and learning from them was critical to us. When we don't see that happening it worries us. Poor military judgment has been used throughout this mission.

John Whisenant

We got whipped. We were not active, alert, intense like we have been throughout the playoffs. Our defensive system only works with great intensity.

Ken Warwick

We've asked this question ourselves time and time again.

David Corbin

We've asked the city to continue its consideration of the project until April. We want time to look at our options with regard to Holiday House specifically and our overall employee housing needs in general. At this point, we want to go back and revisit our full employee housing goals.

Joan Berry

We've asked for a meeting with the sheriff numerous times, and he never has any time or even the courtesy to return my phone calls. This is very upsetting to me.

Nitin Nohria

We've always treated the historical context of a particular time as a kind of sidebar to any discussion about business leadership. But we've found that context is far more salient than we ever imagined.

Brian Hill

We've always said there's something better down the road waiting for you. It wasn't the right time or the right place.

Drew Goddard

We've always idealized youth and then destroyed youth. That has happened since the beginning of time, and I'm fascinated by why we do that.

Scott Rolen

We've always had a tough time playing them.

Andy Watson

We've always had a plan. As the years go along, you revise it every year, every six months or as needed. Every time there's a structure change, you have to update the plan, and with environmental changes.

Brian Cashman

We've always considered Roger a Yankee. If he decides to play, he'll give us the courtesy of an audience. We'll have to take a look at it when the time comes.

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.

Ryan Rosenberg

We found that a lot of people were using advanced scripting, multiple files and other advanced tools but don't think of themselves as professional developers. So we repositioned the product and added more stuff for customization--more tool tips and custom menus.

Lindsey Graham

We're going to lose Social Security and Medicare if Republicans and Democrats do not come together and find a solution like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill. I will be the Ronald Reagan if I can find a Tip O'Neill.

Tom Hall

We feel that we're at the tip of the iceberg. We've gotten up to speed pretty quickly to let travelers tap into a rich source of information, but we're also very aware there a huge number of things that we haven't started thinking about that you can do with this technology.

Rich Knighten

We're getting hundreds of tips all over Mexico.

Mark Richt

We're beat up and fatigued and there are some guys in Gainesville licking their chops. The guys on our defense are flat-out warriors. (Defensive tackle) Ray Gant would not come out of the game and probably should have a couple of times. You have to tip your hat to them and coach Willie Martinez and rest of our defensive coaches.

Alan Ball

I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't necessarily believe in vampires or werewolves or that kind of thing, but I believe there is definitely a realm we don't necessarily have access to.

Charles Schumer

I think we could be at a tipping point

Lori Allen

We believe that the star clusters lighting up the tips of the pillars are essentially the offspring of the region's single, massive star.

Jared Allen

We're going to miss him. We love him. But he's got to do what's best for him personally. Head injuries can be tricky things.

Mike Hargrove

Usually it's two guys holding the victim, but this was even better. I think this trick was invented when Abner Doubleday started this game, and every year there's somebody who hasn't seen it. We had to go all the way to Japan to find someone this time.

Kylie Jenner

Working with some of the best makeup artists has taught me a lot of amazing tricks to making me feel more confident, and I can't wait to share them with you guys.

Rod Lurie

We're going to deal a lot with how you get the kids to school, how do you take the little kids trick or treating

Larry Twombly

We feel that this is a great deal for both Hat Trick Beverage and Central Park North Records, as both companies are growing, and as Hat Trick Beverage is investing more resources in the Urban and Hispanic markets.

Billy Wilder

The ultimate trick is to convince, persuade. Every single person out there is an idiot, but collectively they're a genius.

Ozzie Smith

There are some guys that come off bad, but sometimes those people need you to come off like that. Sometimes they force you to come off like that, because you may tell them four or five times to go on, and they'll come back with their cap turned backwards and try again. Those are all tricks of the trade.

John Palfrey

Where it is going to be tricky is in the gray area. That's where we will earn our keep. Where it's something unethical, but maybe not illegal, we want to put companies on notice that we're going to shine a light on them.

William Shakespeare

My master hath been an honorable gentleman; tricks he hath had in him which gentlemen have.

Greg Garrison

We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.

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.

Clint Hurdle

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

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.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Sean Cotter

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Ray Preston

When we were talking to him, he didn't want to commit to how long. So I said, 'Try a year and see how it works out.' Fortunately he's been there since.

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.
