There's probably a good chance that it could be the most widely seen of any of his movies, but he's still peeling the layers away, looking at how weird we are, looking at how strangely we look at the world, looking at how prickly we can be, looking at how paranoid we can be.

Maya Beiser

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.

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

When I was learning by myself, despite my parents, despite my teachers, despite society, when I was fighting for building my life as a young wire walker at age 16, I didn't have feelings, I had certainties.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

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!

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Roger Takabayashi

With the low morale that we currently have, yes I'm concerned people might consider going.

We're just kind of waiting to see. If you're looking for good morale and people to sign up for service, you don't do that to their families.

Alan Greenspan

Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a building inspector than to meet his standards of construction. Protection of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory.

Dusty Baker

We're going to give him as much playing time as possible this week, so we can make up our mind. I'm sure when you get to this point in your career you consider all the possibilities, and I'm sure he's doing some evaluation of his own abilities. So, yeah, these are important days for him.

Ron Brown

We've appointed a committee to look at our needs. We post the meetings and the public is welcome to come and voice their opinion. The public is always welcome. We need to find enough property where we can build as we need. We'll get it done.

James Sutherland

We've announced the tour program six months ahead of what we normally would and that's just (because of) the sheer demand and public interest that's out there right now.

Tony Vecchio

We've always taken a special interest in the health of coastal ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. This fascinating lecture is a way we can educate the public about the importance of our coastal environment and its fragility.

Sheryl Crow

When we were rumored to have split, and when our publicists called these magazines to say we haven't split, the magazines were all so disappointed because that's really what's selling, rooting for a couple and then they split. That's what sells the magazines.

Tom Ridge is a decent man and a fine public servant, but unfortunately was not given the leeway or resources to tighten up homeland security in the way it should be done,

Daron Malakian

When we were a club band, we always used to say, 'Man, if we ever see success, we'd like to open doors for other people, to push the boundaries and fully contribute something to art, to music, that is going to help it evolve instead of doing stuff for the sake of money or doing stuff for the sake of being popular.

Robert Rodriguez

Kevin Wright

You don't know what to think. You don't know what to do. You just do what you're told. You're getting yelled at from all different directions. You're being pushed and shoved everywhere. You just follow whoever's in front of you, and do what you are told. You don't really think about anything.

Suzanne Yoculan

We're solid on every event. We just need to put all four events together in the same night and I think we can push the 198 score. The floor is the event that we love and something we want to be No. 1 in country on. The girls take pride in that.

We're going to run and push the ball. My only concern is how well we will rebound. We'll have to see.

P. J. Harvey

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

Benjamin Franklin

We must hang together or assuredly we shall hang separately

Jonathan Jacoby

Station ownership rules could constrain certain buyers like CBS and NWS, which own a large number of TV stations. However, we believe it's possible that UVN could spin-off or sell the TV station business separately from the networks or the conglomerates.

If a child scored a 300 in reading last year and the score improved to 350 this year, the child and their parents would each receive the increased difference between the two scores in tickets to use as cash in an auction of many large-ticket items at the beginning of the next school year. The kids may use their tickets separately or combined with parents' to bid on items such as big-screen televisions, bicycles, DVD players and more.

Sathya Baba

From the narrow vision of 'individual need', man must voyage out into the broad vision of the 'Universal'. When a drop of water falls into the Ocean, it loses its narrow individuality, its name and form, and assumes the form, name and taste of the Ocean itself. If it seeks to live separately as a 'drop', it will soon evaporate and be reduced to non-existence.

Mike Scioscia

We're going to need Tim and it was good to see him square one up.

Ted Jr.

We're going to go out all season and work hard and go back to Square 1 and do everything right, come back and just try to make it out here.

Mark Fraser

When we first opened we wanted the restaurant to be slow- paced, the bar area with its couches to be medium-paced and this bit to be fast-paced. That's why we had square tables and wooden padded chairs here. The furniture wasn't bad but it was harder than it is now. Then we had a rethink and decided that really we didn't want anywhere in here to feel as though there should be a quick turnaround, so we moved in round tables and curved, leather seats.

Danny Meyer

Union Square Cafe is all soul, not brain.

So I keep singing my song.

Jeff Gordon

Tony is a true American racer. You can put him in any car on any track, and he'll be fast. He's good on the short tracks, the intermediate tracks, the restrictor-plate tracks and the road courses.

Margaret Johnston

Carl Maria von Weber

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself - it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of color and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men - who all feel differently.

Chris Peterson

What's more true today than it was last year is you have to offer a competitive price and a competitive home. I don't think anybody's going to stop what's in the pipeline. It's just going to be competitive and that's good for the consumer.
