Steve-O

When I was a kid, I loved a heavy metal band called Motley Crue. I was thirteen when they came to my city, and I called every hotel in the Yellow Pages asking for a room by the name of their manager in hopes of meeting the band. After two or three hours of calling hotels, I got through, and the manager's brother answered the phone.

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.

Dianne Nolan

We remember Alex and his family in our prayers. We have cards going out to the members of the pep band and our team wants to do something as a tribute to Alex in his remembrance.

Adam Gollner

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate. Africa isn't a land 'where nothing ever grows' and 'no rain nor river flows.' And how are lines such as, 'Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you' supposed to be helpful?

Bob Hartley

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.

John Deacon

We've always decided ourselves what we wanted to put out as our singles and that sort of things.

Kenneth More

I am the reassurance that they have not changed. In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

I have plenty of dream roles because there is so much I want to do, but my dream year would be to be in a single-camera comedy and then, on my hiatus, film a little low-budget indie drama. That would be a dream 12-month period. A dream role depends on having good material and working with people that I can learn from.

Ali LeRoi

Usually, funny people aren't in charge of comedy. Comedy has become commerce. They're just trying to duplicate a thing that they can sell. That's the business. I'm not mad at that. You know, cookie companies do the same thing. But all the cookies aren't good cookies. Mrs. Fields is better than a lot of them.

Dan Rooney

What made him was his strength. This was a time players didn't have strength. I remember we were playing the Giants at Forbes Field one time and it was a very close game, and they were moving the ball. He sacked the quarterback three times in a row.

John Mather

We removed everything we knew--all the stars and galaxies both near and far. We were left with a picture of a part of the sky with no stars or galaxies, but it still had this infrared glow with giant blobs that we think could be the glow from the very first stars.

John Mather

We removed everything we knew---all the stars and galaxies both near and far. We were left with a picture of part of the sky with no stars or galaxies, but it still had this negative glow with giant blobs that we think could be the glow from the very first stars.

Wayne Clark

Steven Fisher

I'd like to think the style is my own. Of course, I've been influenced by all the greats Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bernstein, Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Sondheim. I guess the score is a hybrid of traditional and contemporary, though definitely not sung-through. As a composer, you always hope that you end up with something true to the genre, something built on the shoulders of all the giants that have come before youbut also fresh and original.

Miguel Cotto

Some of our best fighters are not only Puerto Rican greats but all-time greats of the sport. Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Gomez, Wilfredo Benitez and Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and many others have made Puerto Rican boxing what it is today, and I am only an extension of their greatness.

Derek Jeter

Look at all the Yankee greats over the years. You figure at least one of them would win one.

Jonathan Coe

I'm shy of comparisons to Dickens because he's one of the absolute greats and it's silly to compare a contemporary novelist with someone.

Greg Koch

When I was a young lad, I listened to Cream, Hendrix, Frank Zappa and the Allman Brothers. I thought they were gods. Hendrix still seems like one. But then I wanted to know who influenced them, so I had to go back to Howlin Wolf, Albert King, B.B. King and Muddy Waters. I also took a look at country greats like Jerry Reed and Buck Owens. My goal has always been to amalgamate song and flashy guitar.

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.

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!

Mike Turnan

When it came down to opponents, it killed us. We lost to Leland and Pioneer (both of San Jose). Everybody else ahead of us beat them. You really can't argue with that.

David Meyer

We remember those who gave their lives and lost their lives. We also remember those touched by recent tragedy.

Working with Ronnie was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career. The world of entertainment has lost a huge talent.

Tom DeLay

We believe that Ronnie Earle is a politically vindictive district attorney, ... He's pursuing Jim Ellis because he works for Tom DeLay.

Dick DeGuerin

I would have told you a month ago we'd be in trial by now, but that was before Ronnie Earle pulled his shenanigans with his frivolous appeals.

Larry Bird

We're glad this is over with. We wanted to be patient with this one because Ronnie is a heck of a player and someone's always going to take a chance on someone like that.

Dick DeGuerin

He's got what he wanted. There's no reason for this. It was pure retaliation on the part of Ronnie Earle. There he is. Take a good look at him.

Larry Bird

He was clearly frustrated. Ronnie thinks if we lose, we would have won the game if he had the ball every time. The offense bogs down at times, but it's still a great offense. He held the ball a lot of times. Nothing frustrated me more than him not rebounding, but I didn't go out in the public and say anything.

Tommy Amaker

He did struggle. We certainly needed all of our perimeter players to play well and I thought it hurt us when Dion (Harris) got the two fouls (early). ... That probably forced some other guys to step up their production on the perimeter and it wasn't there. I thought Ronnie was right in the middle of that.

Gus Frerotte

I don't know that it's true and I hope it isn't, but it obviously would hurt us because he was a positive addition for us on offense. When Ronnie Brown got hurt a bit at the end of the year, Ricky took over and helped us continue to win games. He's a good player for us and big in our success. It would hurt not to have him.

John Ashcroft

I believe that I acted properly in carrying out my duties as a member of the Senate in relation to Judge Ronnie White,

Dave Parker

When I wasn't selected for an interview for council, I kind of thought this might be coming,

Dr. Jain

We found that only 8 percent of people would use pre-implantation sex selection for non-medical reasons.

S. Hughes

We find evidence that natural selection is, in fact, maintaining those 16 genes. In fact, the human Y hasn't lost any genes over the past 6 million years.

Marco Boschetti

We believe this success is a direct consequence of companies' improved management of the M&A process, from target selection and pricing, to due diligence to implementation. In the future, this learning curve will certainly continue. So, while gaining competitive advantage through M&As is now a legitimate business strategy for growth, long-term success will depend on increasingly sophisticated M&A capability.

Jack Cassidy

We believe this property has the potential to achieve significant revenue growth through addressing deferred-maintenance issues, adding selective capital improvements and improving property-management operations.

Thomas Gould

We're going to identify students who have the potential to succeed at selective universities.

Unfortunately, I think YouTube is going down the route of rewarding the select few around content creation, be it with partnerships or with ways of funding original content.

Jeremy Northam

Years and years ago, when everyone knew that Pierce was going to be doing the job, they started selecting new people. I had this bizarre thing when I hadn't done many movies, and of going on for an interview.

Ed Yates

We're going to find out pretty quick if (Saturday) was a good thing for us or not. From the way the first half shaped out, we have five of our last seven (league) games on the road.

Kate Winslet

I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am and the characters I have played - and I'm grateful for that.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Listen - of course money changes everything, but so does sunlight, and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources, neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them.

Elizabeth Janeway

Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.

Melissa Pritchard

One of the reasons people like romances is that they're artificially shaped to give a pattern and meaning. It's not as messy as everyday life or as difficult or thorny.

Robert Osborne

I was shaped by the heroes in the films I saw, which you always want to emulate and be like. I wanted to be like Alan Ladd, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart.

Robert P. McCulloch

When I was 12 years old, my father was killed. I lost a loved one to violence. The pain was because I lost my father. It didn't matter that he was an officer... It shaped my life. If anything, it made me a strong advocate for the victims of violence.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

I love showing my scar on my tummy - it is shaped like a question mark.

Robert Battle

I grew up in a household that had its roots in church and community and culture and poetry and song and in the arts. Those aspects certainly shaped what I do.

Thomas P.M. Barnett

Once Europe's colonial empires were sent into deep decline, thanks to World War II, America became globalization's primary replicating force, integrating Asia into its low-end production networks across the second half of the twentieth century - just like Europe had integrated the U.S. before.

S. Jay Olshansky

The modern rise of Alzheimer's Disease in the twentieth century is not a sign of failure. It's a sign of success. Success in living long enough to see that disease expressed.

Michael Arlen

Surely one of the most visible lessons taught by the twentieth century has been the existence, not so much of a number of different realities, but of a number of different lenses with which to see the same reality.

Pankaj Mishra

Like the Britain of Beaverbrook and Kipling, Japan in the early twentieth century was a jingoistic nation, subduing weaker countries with the help of populist politicians and sensationalist journalism.

Drew Gilpin Faust

Since the middle of the twentieth century, our understanding of the American past has been revolutionized, in no small part because of our altered conceptions of the place of race in the nation's history.

Matthew Fox

My generation was bold enough to question many things and to seek spirituality over religion. We haven't succeeded in overthrowing the old order yet, and maybe there are some meanings to be found in my story about coming of age spiritually in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Ellen Key

The storm and stress period of women and the new social and psychological formations thereby entailed must indeed extend far into the twentieth century. This period of conflict will cease only when woman within and out of marriage shall have received legal equality with man.

Rick Perlstein

The history of American higher education over the twentieth century is an extraordinary one, the story of the creation of a powerhouse set of institutions that are the envy of the civilized world. Once they were the province, both among the student and faculty bodies, of children of privilege, generally WASPs.

Robert Reich

Before the rise of the nation-state, between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, the world was mostly tribal. Tribes were united by language, religion, blood, and belief. They feared other tribes and often warred against them.
