When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor.

Joe Bailey

..what came before has dissolved from me, lost like milk teeth. But I think, rather, that it has always been as it is, and there was never a beforethis nor will there be an afternow. I am accepting. This is not a thing to be solved, or conquered, or destroyed. It is. I am. We are. We conjugate together in darkness, plotting against each other, the Labyrinth to eat me and I to eat it, each to swallow the hard, black opium of the other. We hold orange petals beneath our tongues and seethe. It has always been so. It grinds against me and I bite into its skin..

So we really started a quest to look for an ultimate reading light.

Paul DePodesta

Unless everything is lined up, we'd be perfectly happy not doing it.

We're in the south to help and protect the Afghan people to reconstruct their economy and democracy. We would be perfectly happy to leave in three year's time without firing one shot.

Michael Specter

I moved from Moscow to Rome with my family and two bicycles in 1998, and spent a lot of that year- and the next - obsessed, I am sorry to admit, with the bicycles.

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.

We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

Dale Lennon

We're going to have 80-plus guys practicing, and it looks like we have the potential for a solid team.

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.

Jeff Hamilton

We're marketing that as a personal prayer book, primarily geared toward women.

Tracy Smith

We're going to primarily rest our starting pitchers and give some guys a chance who haven't had a lot of opportunities to stake a claim for some more innings out of the bullpen. I anticipate Butler will be taking the same approach.

Joe Balogh

Ernie Whitt

We're going to enjoy this, celebrate a little bit, but we do have one other game to play and there's no guarantee that we're going to the next round at this point.

Peter Mayhew

When we first put the costume on, you could see the human shape underneath, so the padding gave Chewie his rounded shape, really.

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.

Craig White

We would've like to have today off, ... We missed a chance for a practice round at Pleasant Valley. We want to keep playing. We don't want to sit back.

What has been forgotten is we did get to the finals of the NIT and I thought that was better than (losing) in the NCAA in the first round the way that team was.

We look forward to receiving another round of quality applications this cycle.

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.

Robert Nardelli

With their merchandising savvy and competitive drive, these three talented executives will be instrumental in improving our ability to serve our customers with product selection and pricing that leads the industry, while building operational efficiency for our shareholders,

We're just happy to be here. It's been a great ride. Selection Sunday our name pops up and we're excited and 6 days later we're in the Sweet 16 and things change quick.

Patricia Smith

We strongly disagree with the judge's ruling. We remain committed to sharing a great selection of toys at great prices for our Web site.

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.

John Stossel

When we were scared about 9/11, we federalized the airport security, we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.

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.

Stjepan Hauser

Dan Edwards

When I was a kid, Henryetta was 'town' to me. I helped build the Indian Nation Turnpike and spent many hours laboring in this area. I think Henryetta is a great place to be and I plan to stay here until I retire.
