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.

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.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

Rich Miller

Dee Bradley Baker

When I was a child, I thought I was going to be a paleontologist because I loved dinosaurs.

Dick Gephardt

You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time.

We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.

When I was introduced last week I said that I wanted to bring teachers in who were looking to work hard, enjoy their work and be part of a team with everyone moving in the same direction.

Jeff Mitchell

We remember what they did to us last season. It's the season opener against a division opponent that knocked us out of the playoffs, and with what has happened to New Orleans recently, you know they are going to come in here ready to play. We shouldn't have any problem getting up for them.

Paul Mott

We're going to take our resources and spread them across a wider reach. We'll repay the citizens of Oklahoma City and provide them with their best NBA experience, because this might be their only one. But we'll try not to lose step with what we were doing in the New Orleans marketplace. We don't want people (in New Orleans) to ask, 'Where were you?' These are our fans. And our fellow citizens.

Mike Strecker

When we got our students back, the population of New Orleans increased by 10 to 20 percent. A lot of businesses pegged their openings to the return of our students. We expect the students to be a big part of rebuilding.

Charles Barron

What he did in New Orleans -- I mean, that's worse than what Bull Connor did in his entire career as a racist in the South. Look at these neighborhoods before Katrina hit. Bush made that community what it is. Katrina did the rest, in partnership with Bush, to deliver the final blow.

What he did down in New Orleans was really an extraordinary accomplishment, which goes way beyond what we would expect a news anchor to do, ... He not only reported what was going on, he did not allow other people to minimize or mischaracterize what was happening.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

We've always tried to have the thing that people want.

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.

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'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.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

We've always believed we're prepared to do it, ... We can handle it in short order if we need to.

Charles Bullock

When I was out looking at different degrees, I felt it was the best degree to prepare me for any type of position in business with the exception of maybe marketing. The language of business is accounting.

We remain prepared to deliver double-digit earnings growth in 2001, but most importantly we're excited about how well GE is positioned for the future,

We respect everyone week in and week out and we know Arizona State is another fierce competitor in the Pac-10 and they have things to prove. We're just doing our best to be prepared for them.

Jacques Rogge

We remain with our zero tolerance policy, so that the fight against doping remains the very first priority of the International Olympic Committee.

Jim Wicklund

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.

Scott Wilson

We're going to take as long as it takes. Our people are very good at human remains recovery and we're having some inclement weather now that we're taking precautions against.

John Shaughnessy

What we're seeing happening is the best of all worlds. The economy is strong yet inflation remains quiescent. The earnings outlook remains reasonably good. Given those things, the money continues to flow into the market from both domestic and foreign sources.

Jess Blackburn

What he is saying is that $80 billion remains a viable and reachable goal. He's not being as specific as to the timeline.

Stephen McCausland

What sparked this? A lot of work remains before we have any answers, and some of those answers we may never get.

Rebel Talbert

Unfortunately it looks like we have had human intervention but whether that's accidental or deliberate remains to be seen.

Meg Whitman

We've always sought to remove friction from e-commerce,

Tom Harp

We would proactively go through the entire neighborhood and bring it up to the level of city ordinances. We would remove trash and debris and junk cars.

Larry Flowers

We found that out officially this morning, and it will cost us more to remove the debris. But there's more to that than just the cost for me. My father built that structure with his own hands (and operated it as a store for many years).

Nancy Wood

We remove all illegal sign encroachments as we are made aware of them. That also includes signs posted on telephone poles, since most poles are on right-of-way.

Kim Norris

Rick Murphy

There are construction techniques that you can remove those walls, and lift them out, and set them in other locations.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When I was on 'The Golden Girls,' we'd have eight scenes per show. And when 'Seinfeld' came along, they went to, like, 30 scenes a show, which was revolutionary. 'Arrested Development' has probably got 60 scenes per show. It just keeps emerging as this more and more complex thing. I always try to keep it very simple at its heart.

Todd Solondz

When I was making Storytelling, I couldn't watch while the violent sex scene between the student and the professor was being shot. It was too intense.

Bruce Martin

We respond once we have had a call. We will usually dispatch officers to the scene and look for any suspects. We will make sure that the person that called is all right. We will start an investigation by interviewing them and checking for any evidence. We would heighten our patrol in that area whether it be by car or by foot and that is what we have done is this past particular instance.

Bryan Whitman

We're going to move the resources that we think can be helpful to the scene as rapidly as possible. Efforts are being led by the Russian government and it (U.S. assistance) is something that they have asked for.

Tom Smith

What we're looking for behind the scenes are background checks for known felons and other things that are publicly available, to make sure these don't get in the hands of a criminal.

Andrew Friedman

We felt it was best to go in a different direction and in the best interest of organization to move forward. Maybe the change in scenery will do him good.

Bennett King

We believe we have been working hard. Behind the scenes people probably don't see a lot that goes on.

We are given 30 days to pack up three years of parts, tools and items. But we will at least have some control over our own space, rather than living from day to day, not knowing what efforts are being done behind the scenes to mess us up.

Rich Baccellieri

Yep, those are set up especially for the Super Bowl. They're betting both sides of the game. They're betting all the props. It's a beautiful scene here.

Scottie Reynolds

When it comes down to playoffs, it don't matter how ugly it is, it don't matter what you do, you are going to be remembered by wins and losses. We know if we slip up one time, it's over.

Kevin McGowan

We're sitting on a pretty ugly non-performing piece of real estate. Tens of thousands of people work downtown. I've never seen any one of them picnic there.

Deonte Tatum

We're going to fight to the end. We're still in the hunt. We're still believing. It's ugly right now, but it's not over for us.

Norman Ornstein

What they've done, at least, is to give themselves a little breathing room from what was going to be a really ugly confrontation, and one that was a complete lose-lose for Republicans, no matter what.

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.

We're going to have some games that are going to be very similar to (Thursday). A win is a win, it doesn't matter how ugly it is.

Chris Colfer

When we first uncovered the creative genius of the underground skateboard mentality of 'Jackass,' we knew it would resonate with our young adult audience,

Tom Lake

Working there, excavating, is truly like taking a ride in a time machine as you uncover cultural artifacts that see the light of day for the first time in thousands of years.

Dale Lathim

When you've set the bar as high as we have, you have to look really far and wide to find someone else to fit in that same mold. We'll do our best to uncover them wherever they may be.

Sam Shepard

Writing for theatre is certainly different to writing an essay or any other kind of fiction or prose: it's physical. You're also telling a story, but sometimes the story isn't exactly what you intend; maybe you uncover something you had no idea you were going to uncover.

Koren Zailckas

Since I've quit drinking, I'm not sure I've found the good life, but I've certainly uncovered a better one.

Laila Ali

By being an athlete, I have uncovered so many other ways to express my beauty. Being a strong, fearless woman makes me feel beautiful. I love the way I look and feel when I am two hours into my training and my skin is glistening with sweat and my clothes are drenched because I have given it all I've got.

Karen Maitland

I'd love to own Newstead, partly because it belonged to Lord Byron, but also to try to uncover what dark secrets really lie beneath.

Simon Kiragu

We are holding the two as we follow some leads that will lead us to uncover the aim of the heinous murder.

Ron Abramovich

We've always said spring moisture would make or break our water forecasts.

Susan Vreeland

When I was nine, my great grandfather, a landscape painter, taught me to mix colors. With his strong hand surrounding my small one, he guided the brush until a calla lily appeared as if by magic on a page of textured watercolor paper.

John Parks

When I was in school 20 years ago, it wasn't all that important. And if the coach was mad at you, denying you water was something they used as punishment.

Yvonne Williams

When I was a child, I'd go down to see the water after a storm, just to see it settling down, for reassurance,

Bill Brennan

We remain concerned for the health of the public, and again urge people to heed the signs the city posted warning them to stay out of waters that may be contaminated.

Jeff Swanagan

We respect the water, and use the water. We don't just let it go down the drain. We treat this water like gold. The only water loss is evaporation.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about. We don't begrudge him bringing in Eastern Bloc friends, but I suspect that the cowboys down at the coffeehouse in Delta are more interested what the candidates have to say about water and health care than whether or not the president of Poland is backing you.

Paul Hawley

We're going to shoot the video in Spain, and there'll be water involved -- and I'm going to leave it at that.

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,

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.

Rev. Donaldson

When we went through it, we had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to who had a similar experience. Small, rural churches usually have no money and little or no insurance to rebuild. So we helped form an organization that gives guidance to pastors whose churches have burned.

Mallory Dietrich

When it comes down to it, it's just a time you are trying to beat, no matter whose it is. Hopefully it will stay for a few years.

Bob Young

We've recruited a very professional team and it's simply a sign of maturity of our organization that we want the professionals whose careers are at stake in making this thing work properly,

Maya Angelou

When we cast our bread upon the waters, we can presume that someone downstream whose face we will never know will benefit from our action, as we who are downstream from another will profit from that grantor's gift

Joe Farren

What about the young parents whose baby sitter is trying to call them, or the brain surgeon who needs notification of emergency surgery. These calls need to get through.

Ben Bernanke

We benefit from foreign direct investment. Many Americans are employed by foreign companies with plants in the United States, for example in the automobile industry. So, trade is a two way street. I think, it is important to protect Americans who lose their jobs, or whose jobs come under pressure from international trade. But, I think, we need to be careful not to embrace economic isolationism.

Keith Benjamin

We believe we should be less concerned with picking the bottom of the market and begin to accumulate those stocks whose fundamentals appear to be improving.

Ron Meyer

Universal had its most profitable year ever in 2005 due in no small part to Marc, whose impact on this company has been the foundation for its unique culture and its far-ranging achievements, His combination of strengths is unique in that he has been able to attract exceptional creative talent in a specialty film environment and at the same time is revered in the global sales and distribution community for his taste and acumen.
